You can't buy connection.

Materially it's the best it's ever been, but in terms of quality of relationships and social cohesion... It's not.

According to a Harvard study conducted over 80 years, close and positive relationships are the key to happiness...

"Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, the study revealed. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental and physical decline, and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes. That finding proved true across the board among both the Harvard men and the inner-city participants."

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/sto...nd-happy-life/

"To lower your risk of heart disease and stroke, you need to get out and meet people. Loneliness and social isolation were linked to an increase in both conditions, according to a review of studies published online April 18, 2016, by the journal Heart.

Researchers examined 23 studies that involved 181,000 adults. Among this group, 4,628 heart-related events—such as heart attacks, angina attacks, or even death—and approximately 3,000 strokes were recorded. The data showed that loneliness, social isolation, or both were associated with a 29% increased risk of heart attack and 32% greater risk of stroke. The risk was similar to that of light smoking or obesity, according to the researchers."

https://www.health.harvard.edu/stayi...-heart-disease

Seeing as research shows that close positive relationships, and loneliness is bad for mental and physical healthy... Maybe that's why so many people in Gen Z and Millenials complain so much... They feel socially disconnected from people.

If you want the actual definition of insanity you'd have to look it up in a dictionary and it won't be that phrase.
The definition of insanity is simply not being sane. I am technically insane.

Whatever you want to call yourself, your situation won't change if you don't work hard to change it.
So either put in the effort, or stop crying and fist yourself.

In the words of an Alec Baldwin character "These are the new leads, the Glengarry leads, and to you they're gold but you don't get them. Why? Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. They're for closers."

I see what you mean in that you think throwing money at medical research and such would yield a positive result in people's lives, and you may be right, but in a closed system there is only so much resource to go around and throwing more money at research projects may help a bit but what if they don't need it, greedy people will find a way to line their pockets and fleece the generous billionaires.

Cure everyone, feed everyone, it's the same thing. Just more mouths to feed and less place to put them.
The most educated countries, with the highest quality of living, tend to have the zero or negative birth rates amongst it's native population.

It's the countries with the lowest quality of living, and least education, that have the highest birth rates.

Seriously, just look into the stats, to see what I mean.
Yes it's very cold and calculated but it's not without reason. Life unfortunately involves winners and losers and people have to fight to survive..
It really doesn't have to be like that.

Like I said, please do some research into the countries with zero or negative birth rates.

Please look into what happens to immigrant birth rates to the EU and US, generation by generation (basically; it goes down, generation by generation.. White Nationalists ignore those studies, because it doesn't fit their narrative).

Exponential growth of population is not inevitable. Seemingly 'expontential' birth rates happen in certain socio-economic context, it is not a universal. IMO that is a myth, possibly created by Libertarians to justify not helping the poor.

The billions that they hoard is dead money. You have no claim on it. I don't know if it's right or wrong but it's theirs to deny the rest of us as they please.

We can help each other and we can help ourselves and we can learn to do the best with what's ours and we can use our high intellect to write the code of the future.

You don't get to take from the over-privileged. Just learn to deal with it.

You were but that's ok, and good point.

So we need to close the borders, secure gainful employment for the citizens of our country and encourage people to live within their means.

That was the point you were making right?

No lol. As I said, IDK what is the correct course of action for the border. Gainful employment sounds good. Not sure what living within means actually means because a consumption crunch would hurt the economy.

No generation ever had it so easy, and there is no way to argue against that. If people choose to be isolated, that's on them?
The 80 years Harvard study showed that close relationships are the key to long term happiness and health.

Close relationships are the key words.

Social media use is incredibly high (and is purposefully designed to be addictive), and studies show that social media use leads to an increase in loneliness, anxiety, and depression.

Whilst the brain is developing, Generation Z's parents are allowing them to use social media apps without limit. (One study concluded that 30 minutes a day, is the limit for social media, in order to improve happiness...https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/...-2018122115600)

Conditioning is a powerful thing, especially when we are being encouraged to use apps/smartphones for daily life by everyone from banks, to electric companies, to family and friends.

Even dating has been reduced to the virtual world, people less and less are dating through face to face meeting and through apps.

It's hard to feel close to people, when you don't spend much time in the same room as them (and some people don't even want to, they are content to interact purely online with you).

Arguably we are being conditioned to have superficial relationships, through the virtual world. It's hard for me to feel emotionally close to people just through images and text (which is why I have an arguably bad habit of not talking e-friendships that seriously), I expect the same is true for most people... I need in person interaction to really bond with someone, or at least speak to them through voice or video chat.

If you think it's 'excuses' to talk about how much smartphones are changing the social fabric, I highly, highly recommend watching this 30 minute video (she shows footage from documentaries, interviews, and talks)...

If you're interested, the best responses I've come across have come from; Emmanuel Swedenborg, and various Near Death Experiencers.



Please consider, how much medical technology could advance if the billionaires of the world donated their billions to medical research (and 'downgraded' to being millionaries) instead of hoarding their billions.

The literally hoard billions of dollar - to reitrate they don't even blow their money on frivolous things, they just hoard the money year after year - whilst people complain that 'God isn't doing anything'.They literally have the resources to change billions of lives by creating medical infrastructure and providing education, but they choose not to.

According to a number of Near Death Experiencers, the mental and physical health problems do have cures available... However, it will requires collectives spiritual and systematic change in order for that to become apparent.

Again... How much do you think medical technology would advance, if billionaires followed the example of Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Christians (e.g. The Book Of Acts) and donated their money?

Please look at the amount of money on this list (you have to click on their faces, to see their net worth), what do you think their collective money could do for medical research in general, and providing education and clean water in developing countries?

God has arguably given us the means, but he won't force us to use them...

https://www.forbes.com/billionaires/#4f1c6a29251c

(What normally happens at this point, is that a right winger will come in and be more offended by me asking Billionaires to donate their wealth to medical research and education, than them hoarding their money and not using it... To them it seems it's worse to ask billionaires to spend their money to help people, than for billionaires to hoard their money.)

Also, Near Death Experiencers talk about the power of prayer. The power of prayer is that it affects consciousness, not necessarily the material world (miracles are by definition rare events). Near Death Experiencers talk about the power of praying for the guidance and well being of other people (eg. Leaders, and Nations).

Again, the means is arguably here, but we don't use it.

There are 2,153 billionaires— worth a collective $8.7 trillion — currently roaming the world, according to Forbes' recently released annual Billionaires List.

https://www.businessinsider.com/rich...19-3?r=US&IR=T

What could 1 trillion do for medical research?

What could 2, 3, or 4 trillion do?

The kind of people who defend billionaires hoarding money, rather than donating it to things that can help people, are arguably the people enabling the problems of the world to continue.
Because they're greedy *******s, but I'm not holding them to the same standard I would hold a God.

You would think if God made a guest appearance and demanded the billionaires donate 90% of their money to charity that they would. But, God's doing nothing, if he even exists.

1. You're probably ethnic living in a dominant white society

2. You're probably under average in the looks. Also short (?)

3. Unemployed (?)

4. Cognitive dissonance even when red pilled on some topics

5. Waste time on misc and other unproductive things

(6. Tulsi has no chance of winning, stop coping.)

Solution:

You know your SMV is low in the west. If you're ethnic and bad looking....you're playing on extreme mode.

Even then that's no problem:

- You're in the west, so your dollari are worth a lot

> Get of the internet,... and stop feeling sorry for yourself, put all your time into geting a job
> save everything, live with your parents for a couple of years if necessary. (learn how to trade/invest)
> go back to your country of origin or other third world country
> find girl because of your status of you living in the west, having money
....?
> maybe bring her to the west, although you know the dangers of that I assume. Or stay in her country and build a life there.

Good luck *******

Nothing is gonna change unless you do a 360 and walk away from your own mindset and change everything, but honestly things like that rarely just happen for no reason, and it’s hard to just will yourself into doing it. In reality though if you were to start making small steps in the direction of being the type of man who gets girls, then eventually you might find one and then your mindset will change.

I know I’m speaking into a void and you aren’t gonna listen but brah I’ve been suicidally depressed and alone and FA with no experience with girls before so I feel you. I just didn’t give up, I decided that no matter what, I will do whatever it takes to find a girl, including anxiety reducing substances, or even biking if it came down to it(luckily it never did)

I honestly don't know either, but bro, you're not that insane, you seem pretty reasonable and if anything I'd like to hear some good news from you in the next few weeks.

I think you're a good dude just based on what you've shown despite our differences in opinion.

I'm glad we could have some civil discourse for a moment here today.

You are literally supporting them being greedy *******s.

You could simply say..."Whilst I don't believe their money should be taken by force, I wished that billionaires would try to use their money to help the poor."

But, that's not what you said.

That combined with you literally arguing that we shouldn't help the poor, because it will lead to overpopulation... Seems to show that you don't seem to care about people.
You don't get to take from the over-privileged.
For the 3rd time... I asked for them to donate their money, I didn't say we should take it by force.

You are strawmanning.

To be fair, a lot of them do try to help the poor. The system is pretty fuked honestly. If there weren't so many barriers to entry and rights to monopolies, patents, etc u would never see this kind of concentration of wealth.

You may have expected that response but I don't think you predicted it. If I'm wrong feel free to quote it.

You're getting a bit emotional and it's making me uncomfortable, will you please calm down and stop using foul language as a substitute for thinking.

I didn't say that I support the greed I said it's their right to hoard their own money that they earned from the economic system they derived it from.

I agree we shouldn't take it by force and I admire those philanthropists that donate their money generously to important causes.

I also think we should help the poor but a good friend of mine would spend his UBI if we ever approved it on going to the bar every night. Who does that help? He currently trades EBT purchases for booze and for weed and has no ambition whatsoever.

I do care about people and it's astounding to me that you would dare to accuse me otherwise.

These are complicated problems and we're not going to solve them all today, it doesn't help matters that you're slinging mud at me.






As far as me strawmanning, please go into further detail on this point because as familiar on this form of fallacy as I am I an not an expert so if you'd care to break it down into further detail where I was using this technique I'd appreciate it because I wasn't aware I was.

Thanks for your consideration.
