Do yourself a favor. Reread BAM.

Women were allowed to divorce their husbands for lack of sex *in the Middle Ages.* Feminists are offering you a worse deal than what *women* got *in the Middle Ages.*

you have to remember with these things that most people dont actually operate on a level where they interpret the text, they just take read something and it provokes some kind of emotions, and they conclude those emotions were the intention and point of the text

Read La Rochefoucauld's Maxims.
You can clearly see his influence on Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.

But there's one thought I had in the back of my mind all the time: this man was clearly a genius and had thoughts that most normalphags never have in their entire life.
Yet he could still not attain success in his own life, nor could he avoid death. This once again shows that there is no "justice" in life, yet basically everyone believes there is in some way (be it the conscience or karma, etc.).

talking to a group of offline people about AI recently

it’s cliche and perhaps gauche to say “nobody knows what’s coming”. but that’s an understatement. nobody knows what’s already here

the avg person sees AI the same as it was 3 years ago - a moderately helpful chatbot. if you use gpt for recipes and search, your experience has not meaningfully changed since 2023

today the frontier is autonomous coding and agentic task completion. aka, the computer using the computer. this is impossible to explain to most people because they have no idea what code is or how computers work

doing the bare minimum is so rare nowadays that simply showing up on time looks like world-class performance

Almost every narrative of the modern era seems to be built around the idea that humanity has already peaked. Even the optimists tend believe that “mankind” as he presently exists will soon be subsumed and overtaken by machines. An odd phenomenon.

The driving dynamic of the internet is that only two people become Online: people who are so defective or repugnant that no one IRL takes them seriously, and people so intelligent that they have a hard time finding peers in the run of ordinary life.

“When I was your age I had a new girlfriend every week. Everybody was on LSD and they would walk around topless on campus. Anyway, we need to ban porn to make sure teens fuck more”

The left quite literally has no response to this, which is why they dismiss him as just absurdist "right wing comedy" or pretend he doesn't exist. All the "serious" and "substantiative" attacks on BAP seem to come from conservatives and right-wing ankle biters.

I don't even get why there is discourse about the price of groceries. It doesn't really matter whether my weekly bill is $100 or $200, I'm not going to be able to afford a home either way.

Moyn is not crazy. Children are basically slaves to unqualified captors who did nothing to earn their position, but they are also more truthful than adults; and parents care much more about themselves than they let on (always cloaking it as love for the child).

Parents have highly mixed motives, are often struggling to keep themselves and their marriages alive, suffer from extreme sunk cost fallacies, and much, much worse. Skeletons in every closet, appearances need to be managed, etc. Parents are so cognitively and emotionally over-burdened that they frequently lie to themselves and others about all kinds of things, and they often don't even know it because they don't have the time or energy to take stock, reflect, update, etc. This is the real cause of the archetypal mid-life crisis event, where people wake up at 40 or 50 and don't recognize themselves and blow up their lives.

It's naive, Hallmark cringe to just assume that parents know what's in the best interest of their children.

Do you remember being a child? I do. I knew everything and my parents were always wrong. And now that I'm a parent, I realize in retrospect that I actually did know everything! And that parents really are as confused, stressed, tired, and dubious in their judgments and pronouncements as I suspected!

Drugs I’d recommend:

Reason
Cold head
Instinct
Intuition
Common sense
Fury

Many others, all of which led many men to eternal fame and self-overcoming, unlike gay chemicals

[oecolamp @oecolamp]

Nietzsche's parable of the camel, the lion, and the child in Zarathustra is something everyone on here should keep in mind. You're not finished when you say "no" to the old and outworn. You have to say "yes" to something, too.
