Schizophonia

It's funny because if I say I take cocaine to be more energetic, I'll be told it's bad, even neurotoxic. But if I induce manic behavior by depriving myself of orgasms, often to maintain a pathetic lifestyle/belief system, I'll be told that's bad too. Always this good old masochism.

I can open my nostrils, wiggle my right ear, and twist my thumb a little

@Sugarcoat

The highest suicide rates are in poor and/or non-Western countries.

I'm not in a relationship but i met plenty of girls, because I want someone with great compatibility and to be in good health; otherwise it's a lose of time and a recipe for disaster.

It's bad to be isolated; even people who claim to be particularly introverted are often actually dysthymic. OP is talking about romantic relationships, but it's the same for friendships; it's easy to find yourself alone, especially with on top of that social medias reflecting your fears back to you, your ego echo chamber in general with abnormal intensity.

It's primarily the mania/neurosis that new technologies can indeed support. Btw the darkness of night is artificial; there's the reflection of the moon and the Earth's atmosphere in nature.

Did you really want her

Brains are imaginary

A mirror always reflect you perfectly. For example, you're with a girl who ghosts you even though you're making an effort. From your ego's point of view, the one that suits you, there's a separation; the girl doesn't reflect you since, as proof, this bitch ghosts you while you're making efforts. Except what you don't see is that she's just reflecting your subconscious, she's its manifestation; that is to say, the truth that you don't love her but are there because you have something to prove or something. By conscious we mean the objects with which we identify, by subconscious we mean the objects which resist identification, by ego, and which are projected onto others; from a more "high" point of view we could even say manifested in Maya. (Sometimes I talk about the unconscious, but that's a misuse of language; in this context, it's more about the subconscious.)

Badass

Women also need to be strong to be desirable. There are many ways to be "strong"; what is attractive is basically self-love.

It would be simpler if people said : "Hey I'm struggling, I'm unhappy, I'm afraid of not being loved and that in general reality is that (negative believe)." But people don't want to suffer/be humiliated, as if they were going to be trampled on or something like that; so people become rude, caricatured, and more moody in general; this gives them the completely illusory impression of having power, in a neurotic infantile, psychotic way.

@AION The more hostile you are to a particular kind of mirror, the higher your karmic bill will be because you're imposing the opposite image and its negative polarities upon yourself. Because you're afraid of being betrayed, fooled, used, etc you don't want an "easy girl," you want a "difficult" girl. The reason a girl is "difficult" is that she's not very loving, cold/dry; so paradoxically, she'll reflect back to you cynical beliefs about your relationship with women. That's the paradox: by fleeing a limiting belief/fear, you actually end up fulfilling it.

There are just as many men interested in astrology as women. One of the most manly things you can do is admit you're interested in a controversial science including astrology, because it means you're in a position of authority and people, not just women, can feel comfortable discussing it with you and using you as a reference. If you're a coward, you'll refuse to share your true opinion on astrology for fear of being judged.

The whole problem is that you're preoccupied with it, that you're focusing your attention on it. What's going on in other people's heads, including women's, is irrelevant.

You refer to ethics as an objective criterion; if it's objective, then it must exist somewhere. So either it's a theological bias—it's written in a sacred book/one you believe in—or it actually just comes from your imagination and is probably just a reflex to generalize your superego, given that it's partly unconscious. Hence the fact that "atheists" who claim to be ethical will say something like, "It's something obvious deep down in each of us", well no, it's not universally obvious; it's just the projection of your own superego and, by extension, the ideas of your collective unconscious. Hence the fact that some cultures (Northern European and Anglo-Saxon countries, Hindus, etc.) have a higher prevalence of veganism regardless of social conditions. Even if you're not religious, if you don't go to church, etc., you have mental structures influenced by religion, and you generalize from that. Besides, Jung said that Europeans/white people are essentially Christian whether they like it or not, because it's ingrained in the collective unconscious. I don't have a moral compass; I don't think in those terms, at least not as much as you and others. It seems so. You are dismissing the solution of aligning the conscious with the unconscious. That is to say, the possibility that your moral compass is faulty. No, your moral compass is both conscious and unconscious (the unconscious part is precisely what motivates globalization under idealistic or even religious language such as "ethics" or "morality"), and your instinctual desires are fundamentally unconscious. Your conflict, on the contrary, is a confrontation between what you have learned, the legacy of your upbringing and the collective unconscious, as I said earlier, which are more or less conscious, and your atavistic desires. I mentioned neurosis somewhere because, without going into the psychoanalytic genesis of the phenomenon—that's not the point—the more neurotic a person is (we all are to some extent), the more they tend to go against their id as if it were good, a right thing, something worthwhile. Everyone exploits everyone else, even when you think you're in love with your boyfriend it's low-key energy business. As I've said elsewhere, even adopting your idealistic paradigm, yes, there are particularly unethical production chains, but they're a minority. Where I live, there's a lot of free-range cattle and chicken farming; many people also keep chickens because it's easy. These animals shouldn't live because they're "exploited"? That's delusional. Most vegans are indeed urban white people who constantly exploit others through their lifestyle; most of your gadgets were produced through exploitation, and not good exploitation at that. When you buy a smartphone, you're buying something from a company (Foxconn) that have suicide nets in their gigantic factories. Why is living a relatively peaceful life outdoors, safe from predators and hunger, before being quickly killed with a bullet to the head to feed people directly or indirectly (through manure), considered wrong? Like, why would that be "wrong"? Especially if, without getting into any of that nonsense, you don't particularly care about other humans. It's a strange delirium; the whole of life is exploitation and power dynamics. It's not ugly, it's just nature; what's ugly is hurting yourself and becoming hostile to others because you're living in a delirium.

@Emerald You talk like a Cathar; if you're talking about ethics it's because you're a religious person, otherwise it's just low-key your superego that you're trying to globalize for certain reasons. Yes eating meat because it tastes good is relevant; if veganism is not good and also tends to cause various cognitive and/or digestive problems depending on the person, then it is not in our interest. Most farm animals live decent lives ;manure is also by far the most widely used type of fertilizer, so I don't know why you think this is one of the most "ethical" things to do. From the outside, it looks more like neurosis, and when I see how vegans tend to use very religious terminology, even when they claim to be atheists, it reinforces that idea.

It's the opposite they becomes more weak, lazy and neurotic in general.

Why Bulgaria ?

The goal of rumination is unconsciously to compulsively maintain the clinging to the imaginary phallus; that is to say the image of a self who has such and such an object demonstrating his power/phallus. If you look at the most virile men, their common point is paradoxically the absence of ego. If they don't have a girlfriend or are suffering at work, they just accept and smoke a few cigarettes to cheer themselves up while waiting for the situation to improve; there is no resistance, no rumination because what is perpetually trying to be symbolized is what is repressed/refused again and again. Defense mechanisms are very energy-consuming, so people will even tend to paradoxically exaggerate their ruminations, unconsciously to increase the chances of admitting castration and finally relieve a little of the weight of the imaginary "the one who must/should have x" (and who does not).

No a real man doesn't do things for women or for people in general, a real man is not attached to having a girlfriend or any symbol or general. A man is solipsistic, he makes his cocoon and eventually a woman falls into it, but what is important is the affective state of the cocoon independently of its form, that is to say the forms that constitute it. Man embodies the symbolic order as Lacan would say and from the moment you surrender your suzerainty to external symbols (a "woman", a "job", a "religion", the "truth" (to troll you a little)) you become a girl/homosexual/bottom.

Don't you sometimes crave more density? A big hamburger with mayonnaise-laced fries, a salad, and a Coke; a big Nordic city with traditional buildings and a cold wind; nightclubs/bars, etc. I've had cravings for more "yin" things like raw food here and there and nature, but that was when I was unusually stressed.

I'm far from being pro-vegan, but there are plenty of normal or even conservative vegans. I like Vegan Gains on youtube. Generally, a person is a people pleaser because it project its infantile narcissism onto others; a certain category of people, particularly on the far left indeed, are hysterical narcissists to whom you can't say anything and who project this onto "minorities".

Gnegnegne Yes i know, But we have to put things in a dual way to be able to communicate.
