What if 'making it' is an undefined goal on purporse to keep you going
>that swole rugby player that gets posted here occasionally idk the name but we’ve all seen the pic I’m referring to
>I would be happy in a 2 bedroom apartment in a white area, but I’d like to ultimately own property somewhere near mountains, or if I can pull it off in the Italian Dolomites with a good chunk of land
>I’d be happy alone, but I would prefer a family if I found the right woman
>centered around fitness but outdoors stuff.
>fishing, hiking, diving, art, gardening, building stuff
This guy?
Might be the same guy but not the exact pic I was referring to. Same body type however so sure
I want to be like eben etzebeth
"Making it" is transitioning to vr indistinguishable from reality with full control of the simulation. I'm banking on this tech being available in my lifetime.
you have no idea what you're asking for
Nta but yeah. From his pic I can take a wild guess why he wants that. But he doesn’t seem to understand the full scope of what a world like that would be.
Elaborate.
Ready Player One/Blade Runner universe, UBI
Give me the rundown from your own perspective. As far as I can see it, it's not so different from spending your life playing video games except the possibilities are endless.
>it's not so different from spending your life playing video games
exactly. video games do not translate to reality, unless you profit from the attention of others watching you play which only means you're an agent of sucking others into the simulation.
>video games do not translate to reality
What does this even mean and why do I care.
>profit
You're missing the bigger picture. Why would I need profit in an entirely virtual world?
>sucking others into the simulation
I have no interest in what other do as long as I'm left alone in my simulation to do as I please.
it's suicide. wrapping yourself in a perfect illusion, never having to learn or change anything about yourself. everything else would feel pointless if you tried it once. it's basically heroin.
you can choose to do that, but this cultural push to pretend it's just something cool and superficial is gonna drag in so many naive people with you all (if the technology does get to that point).
FYI I work for an energy company and they said when the grid hits 20% EVs the entire US will have rolling brownouts so good luck playing video games with your generators and 8$/gallon gas nerds
>never having to learn or change anything about yourself.
Again you missing the bigger picture. I can choose to do that if I want to, or not.
>it's basically heroin
It's more sophisticated than that, but so be it.
Luddite ramblings. AI will radically change every aspect of your life forever. There's no point in teaching your kids to make a fire with flint and tinder.
if you're omnipotent in the simulation, the only possible outcome is receding into yourself.
the world doesn't give a frick about any one person. being waterboarded by it, forced into situations you don't have control over, makes someone into a real person. i can't really articulate it better than that.
it is much more sophisticated, but mainly just subtler.
I'm failing to see how any of this results in something I don't want. If I'm in control of the simulation I could live a perfect life, with in-build challenges (see video games) and do whatever I wanted. When I get bored I would do something else. You seem to just be making excuses for why we need shitty things.
i don't think you could know what a perfect life is, if that even exists. if you're in control of the challenges, they will eventually feel hollow.
a simulation could never be a substitute for a life. i think comfort/hedonism always leads to a lack of fulfillment. the better the simulation is, the better it will mask the lack of fulfillment, but that just means you waste more time until you realize something is missing.
if you TRULY don't need any unpredictability or hardship to be satisfied, then it's a good idea, but this is never the case for any of the people who believe it is
idk. if you know what you want internally, go do it, just understand what you're fricking around with and remember other people are naive
>but this is never the case for any of the people who believe it is
Maybe this is true and I understand your point about hedonism etc. I feel like I would have the self control to limit myself and even if I didn't, what's the worst that can happen? In theory there could be no "dopamine burnout" since even the dopamine receptors are being simulated, I would just re-sensitise them.
yeah, with something like this i think the addiction would be psychological, but profoundly so.
i guess that's the thing; we can't know what the worst that could happen is until it has precedent.
Ai cab be defeated by unplugging it lol
City Zoomers that are terminally online think everyone has power and internet 24/7 lol
Same is true for the internet but that hasn't happened. What makes you so sure it will ever be turned off and if it does, one won't just take it's place. You can already run LLMs locally btw.
>everyone has power and internet 24/7 lol
Is this true for almost everyone in the western world, moron.
Don't really feel like getting into this too much and I gotta run, but I have basically gone full amish/homesteading mode and try to limit being online as much as possible outside of killing time at work on IST. See
and working on improving myself and enjoying the journey while doing it, with the end result being positives across the board. I don't play video games anymore. I don't have social media or follow anyone on Youtube. I think at a high level society is heading towards a society where the governments and oligarchs essentially control and have a monopoly on all goods and services and similar to covid, if you don't comply you will be forced to live Dick Proneke style. The technology/AI will be crazy, no one will care as long as they have their bread and cirucses if you will, and we will willingly march further into serf-dom. The people who love video games so much they think they can just re-invent themselves I think are moronic they can just re-invent themselves in real life because all you have to do is make one wrong move IRL or pull the plug on the power and you're back to your primal self. The more I get into tech the less I like it tbch, I'm an IT person by trade, and I think its just so ironic that we have this vast wealth of information and people are using it to dance in their bedrooms and talk about the news and playing video games. Its honestly really sad. I don't think there is anyway out of it for most people though, the dopamine (quick hits of feeling better) is so addicting to people they completely forgot about the long lasting serotonin and big picture giving you a happy life. I think we're already halfway there to cyber-punk world, except there is less neon. I will be the last of a dying breed, and I am going to teach my kids to be self sufficient and how to do the basics, where utilities come from, how to process and harvest their kills, garden, etc. in hopes that I can at least prepare them
with any luck, you WON'T be the last. there's more people like you than you might think, it's easy to forget that with the way things are structured
making yourself and others more independent is one of the best ways to fight back. thank you for posting
its good motivation. in general future technology is something that keeps me going. i hope to plug into the virtual world one day
why do women show their tongues like this in photos?
It's because it denotes "fun & sassy." It's also the same as when you tell a child to make a silly face but they always use the same one over and over because they don't know any better.
vr being indistinguishable from reality is the end of humanity... the addiction caused would be impossible to recover from
When I said "transitioning to vr indistinguishable from reality" I really meant transition. I would live there full time.
Gen Z thinks the only way to make it is to live in a simulation. So sad
Basically me, most people don’t believe me when I post about my life which is fine, I really couldn’t care less if this website got nuked, I’m just to help you nerds as a previous oldgay incel

It’s really not that hard. You just have to workout every day and watch what you eat. Get a job and save money, buy a house and fix it up, the women come naturally if you aren’t a complete autist and have a social life,
I would say this is making it and should be the bare minimum. I’m a complete moron and I can do it so I don’t k is what you’re guys excuses are
>the women come naturally
Honestly being an autist doesn’t o recent them form coming. It just gets in the way when they do come. You can ev an autist and you’ll inevitably meet a woman who doesn’t care/is into it, even if it chases most off.
But I do find this truly weird. It’s like when you’re doing things for yourself, and your only real focus is self fulfillment and your own happiness, it’s almost as if the universe just pushes people to you and into your life. It’s really uncanny.
No it’s just that unless your a complete loser and do moronic shit like still play video games north of 30 or something you’re probably getting in better shape, making more money, or learning some thing which all help increase your value
>remote 4x week

what do you do for work, I would guess software/web dev/cyber security, something like that?
Something like that

>hobbies
watch sport, read manga, rinse and repeat till sleep. ive been told by teachers/professors that its a miserable way to live every time ive been asked about my future aspirations, but i like it
there is no "making it". there is only doing my best to make it. simple as.

Work 3/4 days, lift every other day and cardio the others. Hangout 1 day in the week with friends and host dinner parties in the weekends where I cook for people.
I would like to keep on going with warhammer. The painting relaxes me and it's fun with friends. Same goes for D&D, I enjoy the creativity and worldbuilding. In the back of my head I'm still embarrassed about it.
Making it is a state of mind.
I think making it is just being happy with how things are at your current moment. If you are truly happy then you have truly made it
Fr fr no cap do you really think think you'll be happy when you achieve the ideals of your culture or parents?

C’est la vie
making it for me is dying without actually killing myself.
Life's a waiting room
Honestly making it for me would be getting a re roll on life but I’m 1.) my own distant relative like a great great grandson of my own self and 2.) I remember everything from this life and know what opportunity I have. Every memory all the wisdoms I accumulate in my life, all the manipulative tactics I’ve learned.
Idk
I lift for sex
Making it is simple.
>be strong enough to kill multiple manlets in combat
>watch all your friends be devoured by demons

>dedicate your entire waking life to revenge, which fuels your incredible gains
Do things actually get better at some age? I'm 24 and feeling very fricking trapped
I feel like things get better pretty quickly after you start to take actions to improve your life. If you wait for things to get better, you'll stay in a similar place to where you are now, just older.
Yes only dumb kids and democrats expect others to make their life better
Conservative here. Frick Republicans, they would not survive a day if a proper impartial morality police was enforced.
Not trying to have a political debate. Just saying alot if nigs, young kids, democrats think the government will fix all their problems (so they give them more money and increase taxes) when in reality the only person that will make your life better is you. It’s a dog eat dog world and even your own brother would throw you under the bus for the right price. Trust no one. Don’t care about others. Manipulate people into your will. Have no empathy. Take no prisoners. Get jacked and rich and be an butthole. It worked out great for me
>Get jacked and rich and be an butthole.
I crave none of that. I want to be able to move well, I want to need as little as possible while surpassing my peers, and I want to provide service and charity to those who can't help themselves. I'm a knight, and I have no desire to be king.

I have lost hope. I've tried so hard and Linkin Park song is right.
hope is not something you lose, but something you stop manifesting
humans can create hope out of thin air
I’ve lost my ability to manifest hope due to a shitty family, a lack of opportunities, and no idea how to refocus on a new path as they all seem blocked

For me making it is either finally getting the courage to commit suicide or hopefully dying either painlessly or if I can get cancer and qualify for assisted euthanasia.
At 31with zero life development or accomplishments, this is literally my only goal. Any semblance of "making it" that most people achieve because it's a basic life is so unfathomable to me that it might as well not even be real.

I kind of want to say gf, but at the same time its sad to see. In my current state I believe I should definitely have been able to gf some of the girls ive dated recently. But once i start ticking things off the list its funny to see how materialistic and moronic girls actually are.
Frick it I might cope by not dating anymore. Atleast for a while anyway. Frick b***hes, how r they so entitled even though they have literally nothing going for them apart from above average facial aesthetics. Frickn dumb brokies working nightshift at the pub and cant even hit me back with a message rofl. Rant over
