Save us, Young People. Save us.

Half of it would be just letting the old ones pass away, as rude as I know that sounds.

it’s useless to pin one’s hopes in the future i think

in other words, hope is a liar

millenials will turn into their own special kind of shit, the next batch of kids will unleash the nanobot wars, etc etc

yes yes i know one needs motivation to keep operating, but... i need to find mine somewhere else. not “mañana”. because mañana never comes....

great, im stuck in a tough spot now....

ufffff...

It's fucking depressing, no doubt. We gotta hope for something.

When I see a Trump rally and there are some very young people in the background, wearing the hat and applauding and shouting, I just want to cry.

tw2113 · 12.16.2018, 09:53 PM

As always, I continue to hope for the end of the world. Just take everyone out all at once, let no one carry on.

but no, see, since hope is a lie it cannot be relied upon to fight depression. there has to be something else that is not mañana. that’s what im looking for.

how do you persevere in hopelessness? do you know what i mean? hope is for the naive. so, if you have no hope, how do you keep going? cheerfully even?

theres all this talk about the present the present the present but ends up being a bunch of mystical stuff about the infinite.

how do i, finite being, endure without the future illusion?

i need to reread camus....

Hmm...

Fuck, now I'm depressed.

Actually, how are you, Dude? (This is a Wellness Check.)

The Trump Era will be over one day. I'm convinced that a sizeable percentage of The Blind will eventually begin To See. (Maybe not tesla or Bytor though. There is no hope for them.) History is not going to be kind to this era. I truly believe that We will learn from this. "We" being the MAGA people and the Others alike. Trump happened for a whole slew of reasons. America will learn.

haha im ok man. just slept like a dog. dreamed tons.

my issue is not one of cynicism. it’s a moral/philosophical problem.

im not a cynic. well, maybe i am relative to those who have not lived much. but i just want to find my meaning, value, and even comfort, in the present. the present which is the only place i inhabit.

right now, this is what we have. and this is where we have to live. yes?

escaping into an imaginary future will not save us.

so, this needs to be fixed now. the meaning has to be now. the “salvation” needs to be now. the struggle is happening right now, and so, etc.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

"If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, none other of my race," returned the Ghost, "will find him here. What then? If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

Scrooge hung his head to hear his own words quoted by the Spirit, and was overcome with penitence and grief.

"Man," said the Ghost, "if man you be in heart, not adamant, forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is. Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be that, in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child.

Oh God! to hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust!"

3 great mysteries:

-Dark Matter. What is it, exactly?
-Time travel. Is it theoretically possible?
-Tucker Fucking Carlson. How did he happen?
