How do I overcome my pessimism living in Vampiric Age preventing me from my patriotic duty as a pick-up artist?
How do I overcome my pessimism living in Vampiric Age preventing me from my patriotic duty as a pick-up artist
1. I’ve come to understand human nature more clearly. Seeing them as biological creatures with quite sadistic tendencies. Living in a world surrounded by merciless sadists, can make a guy pretty depressed.
2. There are some historical periods, people, and ideas that I greatly admire but all ultimately gave way to something new, which I didn’t like as much. So it seemed like the "bad guys" always win. But I grew more sophisticated and saw that the new comes out of the old and doesn’t just drop from the sky. So the world we live in today, is the sum total of all the "good times", in history fulfilling their natural development. True freedom means understanding the laws of the world and making decisions based on that understanding.
3.Therefore I realized that as a man living in 2010 USA, my "duty" was to pursue what a young man is "supposed to" desire. Sex, drugs and rock. In that sense PUA is a kind of duty for me.
4. Despite point 2 and 3, point 1 still has a powerful influence over me, and I’m not sure its been totally refuted which is why its hard for me to fully commit to PUA.
I’m conflicted between a more sophisticated notion of freedom on the one hand, (which is the freedom to build airplanes understanding the law of gravity, as opposed to the freedom to jump from a skyscraper to defy the law of gravity), and pessimism over the meaning of existence on the other hand. The pessimism was partly caused by empirical observations about today’s culture, combined with a powerful dose of pessimistic philosophy.
Pessimistic philosophy has had a very concrete affect on my personal life, it led me to quit my job and drop out of college, move out of my parents house for a few months because of that, I had 2 female roommates I was very friendly and humorous with at first but then stopped talking to them all together because of my pessimism and then moved back in with my parents this week.
I guess in order for my problem to make sense, I ought to be more explicit on what I mean by pessimism, and I’ll try to use as little name-dropping or philosophical concepts as possible. And just speak from the gut.
Below is a fairly concise summary of the deep metaphysical pessimism I feel.
A Demon Haunted World: "Living" in the Vampiric Age
What a dark world I’m sentenced to. A noble prisoner of state thrown in with the general population. I truly have the feeling of living in a post-apocalyptic world, surrounded on all sides by flesh-eating demonwolves. Oh what a dark barbarian age. To be cursed with thought and feeling! Danger at every corner. Such monstrous beasts, so cruel, vicious, sublime in their grotesqueness. Man! I care not for him. Surrounded on all sides by a deformed monstrosity of humanity. The few flickers of light in which I’m teased with what man COULD have been, ah that is just bitter mocking. It is acidic and burns my eyes. Biology what a curse that word is. The Creationists do no hate Darwin enough, they do not realize what a stake he drives through the heart of their benign creator. To reconicliate God with Darwin is to see us in the hands of a psychopath all-powerful sadist.
Existence is a curse! The Garden of Eden is the nonexistence of life before the Big Bang, Heaven the Kingdom of God, is the perfect harmony of the lifeless empty cold universe after the Heat Death. Yes if but the project of the Grand Inquisitor could be carried out. Long live Satan! Long Live Mephistopheles! The spirit that negates, all existence ought to be destroyed. Yes dread spirit remove all free will from the world, and give us stupid childish happiness. What a weak, ill-conceived, parody is man. There is more beauty in a spider or earthworm. Misshapen and misproportion, hideous and foul and rank. Indescribable stench. A gentle feeling, reasoning soul as mine, thrown into a den with lions! If I only felt and did not reason, perhaps I could deluded myself with Heaven or Karma. If I only reasoned and did not feel, I would fit in personally as a hedonbot pleasure maximizing machine. Ah to be cursed with both feeling and reason! I have no empathy? No, I have the empathy that crushes the soul. Well, better I did not have empathy or sympathy. Yes man suffers greatly, at his own hands! If Nature wished me to feel sympathy for man, She ought not have made him such a perfect devil. What do I care about devils tormenting demons? all is just in that sense. What would I care if somewhere far-off in the distant galaxy there was a planet of wolves, where flesh were torn off limbs by monsters?
Ah but I have to be thrown into the lion den! Oh that beautiful scene of Daniel in the den of lions. Peace be upon you lions he cried out. The jailer returned to see a sublime sight, the lions kneeling before their meal, their master! But such beautiful stories can not be telled of man. No these are lions that will
Wake and bake eh buddy? Maybe try laying off the weed for a bit then come back and try again.
