No but being terminally online seems to. That or they fall the other direction and become a racist incel. In general spending too much time and getting too much of your validation on the internet seems to detach people from reality

Read a book, it's a good thing to do. Then maybe chat to a real human about it instead of watching and making "video essays" on YouTube.

Stoicism really breaks down when you realize Meditations was written buy a guy who was the richest most powerful person in the world and was constantly high on opium. It's the classical equivalent of the millions of "Self help" and finance blogs telling you to just take a year off of work and travel or to live within your means while they make millions a year.

See, that argument falls short when you realize that Epictetus, another great Stoic was a slave.

Meditations is nothing more than a guy writing down his thoughts while on the toilet taking a shit, it was never in any way meant to teach anyone apart from to remind himself, yet foolish people on the internet seem to make it to be some Stoic bible, it isn't and never was such a thing, and it is a terrible place to try and learn Stoic theory.

The fact that people go to some guys random thoughts instead of the Discourses of Epictetus tells us much about modern education, people don't want to study anything what actually takes effort, philosophy isn't meant to be easy to take in, but people would rather go to the Gregory Hayes version of the meditations because it was so simply written that a toddler could read it, they want a ''quick fix''

I unironically think that accomplishing goals in a career and spending time outside in the world really helps alleviate sectarian nensense. All this "hurr durr muh culture war" stuff only matters to people on Twitter and the Chans

People who talk about "throwing their life away for a soul crushing job" are either NEETS, or they're trapped in a cycle of shitty food service jobs, and that really is soul crushing

Most people I interact with on a daily basis are just regular people trying to live their lives and accomplish their goals. It's only online where people REEEE over transgender and race issues

Even the HR departments are starting to quietly distance themselves from DEI

Anyway, long story short, spend less time locked in your room on the computer. Otherwise you'll end up chopping your dick off or going the way of the Supreme gentleman

Thanks yeah I'll get a job moving money for BlackRock. What careers really help with is shrinking your world to your bank account and family, which is how most people stay sane, but the manufacturing plants dumping PFAs into my local water supply are probably just thinking of their family too. It's not staving off collapse, just reducing the observed impact. At least that's something.

This book fucking sucked and should not be a basis of any political/economic theory. It was comprised almost entirely of speculative fan fiction and had barely any sources.

It's not about being terminally online, it's about being in an echo chamber

The thing is, humans are fundamentally not rational creatures, and by default, we all have certain emotional blind spots. Certain parts of the truth that are uncomfortable to us and we will keep looking the other way or rejecting these truths if they are not shoved in our face sooner or later

Criticism is necessary to correct your errors in thinking and acting, to see the bigger picture

But if you exist in a politically charged echo chamber, where arguments against the consensus are always removed or shunned regardless of logic, you can never get meaningfully criticized, you only hear what you want to hear and become more and more extremely entrenched in your preconceptions and more and more detached from reality

The real corrosive effect of the internet on the psyche, is that it tends to create echo chambers. Because it's much easier to censor people who are trying to tell an uncomfortable truth on the internet than IRL

Not necessarily, sometimes being unemployed can be a happier and less stress free existence, while some jobs bring the opposite.

If you believe money can buy happiness then sure, but most wise people know money doesn't buy happiness and that there is plenty of miserable millionaires

If i have a job, then i will be happy isn't really a deductively valid proposition. You could easily say If i have a job, then i will be unhappy. requiring external things to have certain emotional states is a dangerous game, as external things by their nature are unreliable and subject to change, your own will isn't.

Also it's no secret the service economy is basically a welfare state for midwits. You're paid more for doing work that requires a degree of abstract thinking and rationalization because those are the kinds of people who procreate a steady supply of healthy, normal consumers.

>Surround yourself with LGBTs

Why is this hard for people to understand? If you surround yourself any group that has a strong central worldview and enjoy the people who espouse it, you will gradually embrace it entirely simply to fit in. This is why people get better, recant or renounce their positions once removed from the environment that mandated it.

If working in fintech is any indication, upper middle class programmers and managers are the most narrow-minded, sectarian political agents in America. All of them are either MSNBC NPCs or ben shapiro listeners. My crustpunk anarchist art hoe side chick may have an untenable political philosophy, but at least she's read a few opposing thinkers.

I said specific behaviors. Hating women/society/modernity is easy to take on without a personal connection to a group, further Inceldom is not a central worldview, despite some people making it their own. Inceldom is a (somewhat reasonable reaction) to a broken society by broken/failed people. Troondom is not a reaction, Troondom is as much an ideology as anything that has ever been. Accordingly, when one is within an ideology, they must conform to or be rejected from the group. Participation in the group is paramount for the troon, participation for the incel is incidental.
