It's a spot on crock of crap. Name me one time in history where society made people happy. There was nobody 'removing the conditions' that make people depressed, people get depressed because they can't cope and it has nothing to do with the society. They could be in the best iociety ever created and they'd still be depressed. Where we are in the United States right now is a better time for people who live here than any other time in history. And yet people are absolutely miserable because they want to be miserable. Nobody and I mean nobody who works at it, who works at being happy, lives a miserable life. It's always been that way and it will always be that way.


People think they are supposed to be happy all the time. They watch TV and the problem is solved in 30 to 60 minutes. If they do not skip the commercials they see an ad for pop with people jumping around all happy after taking a sip. But reality is most of life can be a daily drag. Routine. Repetitive. You have to find something to take your mind off it. Some people find hobbies. Some take dope. Some just live it out.

But most of society is going collectively depressed. Probably because most material needs are met yet life is still boring and repetitive.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength

Oh yeah, that dude is definitely Ams for sure. 😂 And Ams definitely reads this board every day because he responded IMMEDIATELY after someone mentioned his burner lol. In fact, he'll probably respond to this post tomorrow. 🤣🤣

Also, keep an eye on sonotawhale. I just realized that he registered on Nov 5th and posted this immediately after registering: "Donny should call it right now, he's got the lead - why wait? Stop the steal and we can all go back to our normal lives." Doesn't that sound just like something old what's-his-name would post? 😉 Btw, Nov 5th is the day Ams got unsuspended, but after he saw that his little KKKamala was getting crushed, he didn't want to use his main account LOL!! 😂


Oh you should keep an eye on any new member joining this little backwater, circle jerk of a message board you people waste your time on. You keep track of when ams was suspended and when he returns. You miss him that much? Having no family, no friends, and no relationships will do that, any diversion from your sad, little lives.

That makes what, three new people that must be AMS. LOL, he's on your mind. I'm off to create another ID that will also probably be AMS. LOL

Jesus, I just found the wizard site, you people have been doing this for years. Thousands upon thousands of posts. A very sad way to spend your declining years. Must be lonely for the bulk of you people, no wonder you miss ams.

Wait, I see the second thread you started was "The Gay Thread", maybe you are the back up sock for ams??? Wouldn't be the first time someone has a sock to argue with.

"Society" is synonymous for "government," and his point is that governments by nature focus not on making the individual feel good; rather they act to achieve goals for the group at large; take collective security for example.

Governments spend a large perecentage of income on national defense and national aggression; the result is death and misery for those in a conflict, and it is this which he seems to object to.

"Why can't we all just get along?" is the question.

He seems also to correctly imply that there is something fundamentally shallow and unsatisfying about a capitalistic society where the acquisition of more and better stuff is the key to "happiness:" it ain't.

Happiness, or what passes for it, is based on positive accomplishments, e.g. "Wow, I seduced her...now to enjoy the ride," or "Wow, I was disciplined enough to save enough to buy this Ferrarii, now to enjoy the ride."

Up until not too long ago religion was used to soften the perceived pain of human existence, e.g. "when this is over you'll be in heaven forever." but now most of us realize religion is just a form of mind-fucking so now we turn to antidepressants for solace instead.

Of course the all-time analgesic is alcohol.

In short, the [human] spirit is contrary to the [human] flesh.

They oppose each other.


I want it. I want it now! :)

Why GOOGL is up today and BTC is down:

-----------------

Google has unveiled a new chip which it claims takes five minutes to solve a problem that would currently take the world's fastest super computers ten septillion – or 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years – to complete.

You could always be the kid who was paralyzed for 8 years, once hearing his mother say she hoped he died.


Quote:
In his book, Pistorius details how his parents were told he was “a vegetable”, that he had lost all intelligence, and that they should simply wait for him to die.

Yet when he was 16, Pistorius awoke – and spent the next eight years as a conscious brain trapped inside a paralysed body.

The South African family’s extraordinary story is the subject of a new NPR documentary podcast for the channel’s Invisibilia programme.

Speaking to NPR, Pistorius said he was inspired by a bizarre motive to fight and get himself understood – being made to watch repeat episodes of children’s TV programme Barney.

Martin Pistorius using the voice synthesiser than allows him to speak (YouTube)
“I cannot even express to you how much I hated Barney,” he said.

Pistorius was so fed up with being made to watch the singing dinosaur he made himself learn to tell the time – without the use of a clock – to count down until it was over.


“I would watch how the sun moved across the room or how a shadow moved throughout the day,” he said.

“Simply to make it to when I was taken out of my wheelchair and that for a brief moment, the aches and pains in my body could subside.”

Daniel Penny acquitted. He was the man who put a man who was threatening other subway riders in a chokehold, and that man died. Penny risked his own safety to protect others. A jury of his peers found him not guilty of any crimes.

AOC is now saying the subways are less safe because of Daniel Penny. As is usual, she is 100% wrong. The rest of the law abiding citizens on that subway car were protected by Daniel Penny. Act like a wild man threatening other passengers and risk meeting your maker.

i wouldn't advise any civilian to use a chokehold move, unless you like the hassle of possibly being in court. If the guy dies for any reason at all, you're likely going to go through the same process as Penny.
