What I seem to be seeing in action is don’t use the internet
Don’t go online
Do everything offline
But dvds
Buy books
And don’t go outside
And hope you don’t lose your job -
Depends on where you are and what your country's leaders are doing. Also please define sanity
-
@AtuM things followed a somewhat more natural order of impulses derived from evolutionary developments at least.
for example ruining ones progeny for fun does not promote survival. -
@Sony-wf-1000xm3 firstly people wanting the country to be fine, and grow and prosper and life to be better not worse and more painful for example.
-
When was the last anything touch by human contain sanity? Human nature are initially insane.
-
@Root doesn’t it fuck with anyone else that there may be cheap pleasures gallore walking around on two shapely female legs but nothing else ? Nothing with meaning ? No actual living anymore ?
-
I can tell you I’m bugged about seeing a exactly the same shit for certain
Life did not used to be this way
But so many people seem determined that this should continue -
C0D4681383ySanity? A long time ago, I believe I knew a thing resembling such pleasures. These days it's more chaos theory wrapped in a sanity blanket.
-
@C0D4 yeah in the sense that someone knows where everything starts and ends but we don’t heh
-
@Root why doesn’t bother anyone that they are literally walking around in circles ?

Root825993y@MadMadMadMrMim
Most people work hard every month, get paid, pay bills, spend the rest, and at the beginning of the next month have nothing to show for their efforts.
Perhaps their cycle is longer, but the result is the same: They are indeed running in circles.
It very likely bothers them on some level, but they have their hobby / escape / coping mechanism of choice to deal with that.
Why are people this way?
To be blunt: laziness. Setting worthwhile goals, being productive, and working towards accomplishing them, instead of relaxing, is too much effort. -
@Root yes but also there has to be some social infrastructure that supports these causes
I can tell you about the exhaustion of trying to get a degree without a 60k job and all the time in the world for example -
mundo0349793yThe world was never in sanity, at least not everywhere at rhe same time.
Maybe before what we call "civilization" -
@mundo03 what we presently call civilization is the last days of Rome stuck in enduring stasis
-
iiii92193y@MadMadMadMrMim btw, your search for meaning does not contribute anything to "living". Living is primitive: you exist, you eat, you fuck, you have descendants, you die. That's living. Anything else on top is human insanity.
-
@iiii I know your perspective
It’s the mininmizing perspective that copes with precisely what I’m talking about
Life is not meant to be a precise reproduction
Neurological health derives from perceived novelty
Otherwise a person is a machine like you likely since you wrote this before -
iiii92193y@MadMadMadMrMim life is not meant for anything. It's all your delusion. You can invent the "meaning" but it still is just your imagination and nothing substantially more than that. And right now you're driving yourself crazy over these delusions.
-
@iiii the sounds you produce indicate you gave up like so many
Life at the very least should have variation across a long time period that does not recycle
We are not living like animals in the fields
What I see is obvious as it was previously why can you not ? Or rather why does your kind deny this into their old age ? -
iiii92193y@MadMadMadMrMim and yet we are still just animals which arrogantly think that they are not animals at all. Just like you 😁
-
@iiii sigh we are complex animals that are self aware.
if i was not self aware I could not say resist certain easy outs.
length of memory is most of this.
you already said this. -
@iiii and of course the problem is the deja vu sensation that eventually happens when people keep doing the same things that the mind succumbs to.
there is a certain level of comfort we seek and need to remain healthy on several levels.
this is one of our limiters unless we just want to be victimized by the garbage running this into looking like a piece of leather but getting a bit further
question still is why do you people play along ? -
@iiii then go live in dirty raw hides in the woods and howl at the moon :P i guarantee you that will get old.
-
Sanity is not clearly definable. I hope world will never go "back to normal". We are still extreme overhead for the nature, I wish there were 5 billion people less. I wish there will be a system where you have to earn to have a child, clearly evolutionary selection does not work anymore, and it's cruel, so would be nice to decide a path, what probably shall be to allow only to the smartest and healthiest part of the population to reproduce. It sounds insane, however it's much more logical than the mess ever.
-
@blindXfish what I mean by sane is a reduction in crime sadistic monstrously childish people who want everyone to be miserable most especially their own children
-
@blindXfish more reason you should rethink absolutes. the world is fucked more now than it ever has been.
When does the world return to sanity again ?
