Self-Improvement Thread

Alright Cred Forums

Call it what you will. The (((alt-right))) or far right, whatever the fuck you want to call it. This board has become a loose union of people who are loosely like-minded. This is okay. I don't care if you're a Milo-loving lolbertarian or a fucking natsoc basement dweller, all of us can unite behind one thing:

Self-improvement

It doesn't fucking matter if we're some strong ideological union if 50% of us are degenerate autistic outcasts, and the other half are shitposting teenagers. I don't care what your current state is, we all have room to improve and through doing this maybe we can develop some sort of legitimate organization.

So self-improvement thread. I think we should start with a discussion of introspection and meditation. All of us have things about ourselves we know but repress and ignore. In this thread if I even help a handful of people acknowledge these issues through looking at themselves, I have succeeded.

If the thread starts to die, I'll start with the story that brought me here.

For now, dump anything self-improvement related and post anything mediation or introspection related. Its time to turn this board around.

What most of us need is non-voluntary physical development. Half of the (((alt-right)))'s problem isn't the message; it is the package that is presenting the message.

Doesn't matter how right you are if (((people))) can pull you and your group apart for looking like either malnourished scarecrows or someone who ate a malnourished scarecrow.

I don't have to improve shit, fucko. Take your introspection spiritual bullshit to

...

I do this sometimes. I make an ass out of myself and tell people to vote Hillary and how we should take in refugees.

They say no because of my behavior when they would naturally be the kind to do those things.

I am become anti Jew.

Wow I didn't expect the thread to take off so quickly, given its 4:30

I agree 100%. I have been morbidly obese most of my life and over the past month of last 20 punds. I had gotten it down 70 pounds the last time I tried to lose weight, and I'm going all the way this time.

The goal here is to improve ourselves not just intellectually but physically. Regardless of our end political goals, our "package", assaid above, needs to be presentable.

I like the effort but I personally believe this is a shitty strategy. Unless you live in an important swing district, convincing individual people will do nothing in the long run. We need to cultivate ourselves to make the movement open to more than a few rogue converts.

I am not spiritual in fact I'm an (((atheist))). I believe in the power of self-analysis, if you'd rather call it that than some buddhist term like contemplation or introspection. Its all the same fucking thing, finding flaws and fixing them.

Shameless self-bump, I'll post a little about why I'm doing this in a minute

Hey Ryan how's it going

Thought you were going to bed goy. Like my edgy new tripfag name?

kek, nice. I'm an total socialist IRL. I mention basic income sometimes and how I'd never leave my apartment ever again and could play vidyas all day. And how children should be grown in vats and raised by the state. Nothing really bothers me. I don't bother criticizing the degeneracy... Makes some people look at me in disgust and shake their heads.
I would probably just stay in my apartment all day and play vidyas if I could though. But I know it's wrong. Society shouldn't allow too many people like me to exist. I should care more.
We've never been so free yet so powerless. The modern ""left"" is absurd. It won't lead to NEET utopia. They'll never allow it. They need to maintain social control. It's important that those at the bottom be miserable as a warning to the others. It will be incredibly oppressive and with very little opportunities. And so much degeneracy.
I just realized it, but I'm not really fighting back yet. Too depressed I guess.
>not just intellectually but physically
Physically is WAY easier senpai. I'm incredibly lazy and even I like lifting. And you don't even need to do it much, you'll slowly build up muscle mass. Everybody here should do it.

Shit forgot to trip back up

You my friend have been desensitized to feeling and sound a little anhedonic like me.

I was the same as you 2 or 3 years ago, very into socialism. However what you have to realize is how thin the line is between National Socialism and Communism. When you see the degeneracy and the lack of moral cohesion the left creates it becomes clear which side is better.

The far right is the left with standards and a goal. I can discuss this further in a more organized way if anyone cares, right now I want to talk about ways we can all improve though.

This goal transcends politics.

>sound a little anhedonic
Heh. I guess so. I should read on that. Looks like you managed to cope.
>The far right is the left with standards and a goal.
That's interesting.
I noticed how it seems to go full circle on certain aspects.
>ways we can all improve
Yeah... Many of us really need to I think. Plenty of Cred Forumstards are doing great, but there's an r9k overlap too.

Yes my leaf brother, it is full circle. You'll find the political spectrum to be useless when it comes to seeking what is actually the best form of government.

I'm far from perfect but I have coped and perhaps what I'm most proud of is my persistence. We can all tap into that power of will, whether in society or ourselves, and work to create a better world. Thats my goal.

I realized how much I was lacking recently. My goals and ambitions had stagnated and deteriorated down to a husk of what they should be and I'm reshaping my plans. Cred Forums can too

You need to improve on being less of an utterly insufferable faggot.

Meditate on that.

Last time I made one of these threads i got banned

Fuck you mods

Are you trying to say you want to be my slave?

The mods are scum

Doesn't sound too bad. I think I'll go scavenge info from other boards either now or in a bit.

In my quest to become a man, I have found that the search and support for absolute Truth has an effect that others see as noble and righteous. Above all else it is a powerful tool and a cornerstone of being an effective seer and a judge of most things.

It is difficult to do, and it is a struggle every day until you finally lay aside the notion that there is such a thing as absolute truth.

Even in mathematics and measurements, there can never be an exact distance, perfect weight, or accurate division. I have found that like science, interpretation has no exact perfectness, however, logic, widsdom, common sense and a moral compass are the calculus and algebra of all matters of ethical dilemma.

One must also lay aside all pre conceived notion, and most importantly, understand the true nature of man, the mechanics of our world, governments and corporations, and the fact that the great majority of our fellow man are insidious. However, good, just as evil will stand out. Both have tell tale signs.

It is important to understand all logical fallacy, remove all bias, and commit yourself to the truth and reality which aligns with your worldview; because on your journey into discovering truth, you will discover that both of these things are fluid based on culture and experience.

It is sometimes discouraging, but the more you understand about the truth, the more your worldview expands, and you will begin to recognize the realities, lies, motivations, goodness, and evil of everything.

Your best avenue for understanding this is history. All types of history, specifically texts written before World War Two. It is important to read of periods from differing viewpoints and authors. To understand it all, it is important to understand how philosophers use reason and logic in order to determine subjects.

And always remember, it is of the utmost importance to establish your own way of interpreting the world. Trying to force yourself into a lens is bad.

This is pretty good.

Personally, I used to feel like you, and thought that there was Absolute Truth. I'm not entirely sure. Our worldviews shape our perceptions and interpreted realities. I don't know if mankind is capable of seeing things as they truly are, nor do I think it's necessary.

I believe communion through morality and through vision is what's more important. Not truth, but unity. With this unity we can ensure our survival and quest for truth along the way.

I don't believe biases can ever truly be removed: neutrality can only be approximated. However, my entire point is that neutrality doesn't matter. You can be a jingoistic American exceptionalist and still be okay in my book, even though the world view is far from empirical or based in rational absolutism. It's absolutism itself that matters more to me, if that makes any sense.

Shit I meant "not an absolute truth." I might have fucked up the construction of that first paragraph but I'm high on methadone that my dad had left over after he recently passed from cancer.

Regardless and slightly related, the more I have attempted to form a universal worldview, the more I have realized that most people's realities are a fragile she'll of ego centric happy go lucky delusion that can be destroyed when a job is lost, a relative dies, or something along those lines.

In my search for a working universal truth I have come to realize In my personal experience what many have already deduced about life. That is that life is inherently synonymous with suffering, and to exist is to be subject to the whim of human nature and Mother Nature.

While this sounds depressing, it has allowed me to cherish and respect more carefully the happiest times of my life, and the positivity that love brings.

It has allowed me to become more human and to focus on relationships and others more.

My grandmother who raised me died three months before my dad did, so I was given the opportunity to put to test this worldview in a very hard part of my life. I was able to remain happy by focusing on the memories and honoring their lives at their funerals by writing of our experiences and sharing with the guests the impacts that they each made in my life.

Anyways, I agree, no absolute truth. However, we can get within several significant digits.

I'm sorry to hear about your relative but don't let their loss make you think the suffering is inevitable.

I believe it's a lie that's been perpetuated to justify inaction. Just as relativism is used to justify the existence of evil, the idea of inevitable suffering is used to prop up our world as the best of all possible ones.

Mankind is capable of so much more. We can learn from the suffering but I believe we are moving towards something much greater.
