Yes, this took a day. Well, I did it in 30 seconds, but I spent a day thinking on it. No changes were found to be necessary.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I have retreated to the fortress of my mind's eye, and thought for roughly two-hundred-fifty-two days about what sort of wisdom I should share with you. What new insight could I bring to the theater of knowledge? I though about life. I thought about death. I though about war. I thought about peace. I though about sex, drugs, and rock and roll. I reflected upon myself and my world for so long and so deeply, that I started to gain profound new insight into what it means to be truly human. I thought to myself, what does it help to think so much? What does it hurt to just feel? Perhaps there is only so much that can be gained through science, philosophy and dialectics. Why should I continue to maintain this cold wall of intellectualism if I should lose my very soul?

I've stopped liking things "ironically". I've also abandoned cynicism, political and otherwise. It's given me a new kind of clarity in judgment. Aesthetic experiences seem more profound.
It wasn't easy (and I'm still weeding out this tired, scared cynic in me), but I can recommend it to anyone. I guess that's all.
I've thought about my response for quite some time so I apologize for bumping an old thread.
i'm a big fat butt
I have thought long and hard about my life, scavenging through life's constant lows, wondering when I would come to a peak, or at least a plateau. Then the new year came, and everything seemed to be going excellent; I found someone to love (and be loved by), my course at uni was going extremely well, I found 10p on the floor one day, got a few gigs lined up for my band etc.
And for a while I was... happy... for the first time in a very long time... I thought the days of despair and doubt were done with, but I've felt it creeping up again the past few days, despite everything going so well in my life now. In fact I've always been pretty well off, things have always seemed to go my way, I've never been able to understand what my problem is. Still I wake up wanting to blow my head off, even when I wake up in the arms of my love.
Have you read your SICP today?
I think I came to accept death yesterday. I had always feared it. As harsh or painful or tedious or boring as life can be, it is always in my mind better than the alternative. So I would wonder, early in the morning when I was still awake but had exhausted everything else I could think about, what the world would be like after me. If I would leave important things unfinished. If I would see a bright like or a deep blackness when I go. If I would see anything after that. It terrified me. But I was thinking, yesterday, about the idea of a Psychopomp. I am not a religious person. But for some reason the idea of some kindly, or even professionally indifferent, phantom standing before me and showing me where I must go is incredibly comforting. There is no choice to be made about it. There is no room for mistakes. It seems entirely contrary to my nature, but if I can believe that such a creature does exist (it doesn't need to be a supernatural being, it could be an EMT, or a brother, or a lover [if a humble DQN such as me will ever know such a thing]), I think I can accept finality.
i think you're on a good way, >>99-san. Accepting finality is one of the biggest burdens a human being must overcome.
I spent a whole day thinking and i came to the conclusion that i am simply hungry.
Why is it that protests always attract so many whiny faggots?
I have thought about this for a couple of weeks, but it is related to >>101
Even if I agree with the causes they are fighting for, as soon as they try to make a fuss I'm immediately inclined to mock them just to spite them. There was a demonstration against herbal essences in my town centre not long ago, and while I think animal testing is kinda cruel, it has been helpful in many aspects of research for helping humans. In any case, the fuss they made just made me want to slash their big inflatable herbal essences bottle (with unfunny slogans) and then squirt shampoo in their eyes.
True. There's no cause so noble that it won't attract fuckheads.
Having pondered all posts in this thread for over a day, my conclusion is that >>96 is the most profound of them all.
The pleasure of being cummed inside
My grandfather died yesterday and I'll admit, I cried some. But to be honest it was never really for him. I did it out of sympathy for people, which amounted just to pressure in my sinuses; the only thing that set me over the edge was thinking that someone I cared about might die one day.
It's been a few months, at least, since I've posted in a [Profound] thread like this. Of course, not all of it was spent thinking... If I'd spent my time doing that, I probably wouldn't be here now!
I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that the reason Palestinians are treated so badly is because they're rotten neighbors.
There's been quite a few situations in my life where if it was the Truman Show, the audience would be thinking, "Oh god he's trying to kill himself!" yet I have never managed to go the whole way. None of them have ever been serious suicide attempts, I guess I just like to go to the edge and look over and see what's over it. But I've been thinking how, there's been a few of them I'm surprised I stayed conscious, never mind alive. Entire box of painkillers? A wee bit dizzy. Jumping in front of a car? Car swerves and I just rip my hand up. Cutting open an artery? A strangely small amount of blood.
The conclusion which seems most likely to me is that I am blessed, and I must have some kind of purpose in life. Well, I don't believe in a higher being or an afterlife or anything, so fuck that.
I think I get too attached, too quickly. There's been times where I've been put off going out with a girl, purely on the basis that if we got married and she took my name, it wouldn't roll off the tongue very easily.
And I'm often already thinking of baby names, like, two weeks into a new relationship, visualising the big house we'd live in with our children and pets.
I'm a big fat butt.
After pondering for 24 hours without sleep or food, I am still not convinced that Fred Phelps would be interested in buying GODHATESBRITFAGS.COM off me. Perhaps I should just run with it, as my vericode suggests.
Furry hate is on the rise. Based on data gathered over the past forty-eight hours, I would say we're dealing with an astroturfing campaign.
Oscillating sheep.
Do androids dream of oscillating sheep?
Megaman X3 had way better music than X2, despite not being as diverse. At least in terms of the SNES versions. The Saturn version is a whole other ball game.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I must say, I am very glad this thread entered the top 10 again. It appears that the elitist superstructure is in desperate need of profoundness.
I love my fiancé soooo much, but I am aware how weird it is I've only met her twice.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Mittens.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I think it rather disgraceful that some of you are (or will be) responding directly to others in less than 24 hours. It is not as if we cannot read timestamps. The honor system is one thing, but something that can be mathematically disproved? Ridiculous. I insist you stop this nonsense.
lol internet
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I only smoke eco-friendly cigarettes.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I don't like the way this thread is going.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I think it is time for brothers and sisters everywhere to cease all pussyfooting
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾Driving a car is a form of masturbation. Think about it.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I think tanasinn functions as a low-quality melange.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ It's not so much "taking drugs made my life awesome", as "realising I can think for myself and choose my own path, rather than believing anything I'm told, made my life awesome". If someone told me in the academy how I'd be living in 4 years, I'd have laughed.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Twirly mustaches will save us all.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Animation truly is the highest form of art.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ cough, cough
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ It is highly likely that I will die of lung cancer
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Only real men know the leathery slap of a horse's bare bottom. You can quote me on that.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Some medicines can replace nicotine, but nothing can replace the pleasure of inhaling tobacco smoke. That is why I can't stand the idea of quitting and most people can't either.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ There aren't a million men left alive in this country who could find their way out of a hundred-acre woodlot.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ We could find a lower bound on the number of people there are here by dividing the number of posts by the age of this thread (in days), ignoring that little spat those guys had about not meditating for the appropriate amount of time.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I hate myself and I want to die.
(₯ิ_₯ิ) i dont really feel that intelligent if there isnt something rebellious and self-destructive to be constantly doing
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Life is plotless.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Make it a cheeseburger.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ ZUN is not as ugly as I expected.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ >>144 I think "spat" seems a little condescending. I think the way most large websites these days have a "comments" section, encouraging readers to blurt out what they think, is a big part of why one gets the impression that the Internet is full of hyperactive morons. This thread's aim is to generate profound discussion, on a level that simply isn't feasible within just 24 hours; and if we don't advise the more inexperienced dokyuns, why, who knows where we might end up? Let's ponder the possibility.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ This thread bears similarities to playing chess by mail. It's a pity the internet has all but destroyed the small cerebral joy that it provides, what with these newfangled online chess servers.
( ˃ ˂) I still don't know what to post.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Jovial holidays.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Pleasant Festivities.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Bandwagon post refactoring verbose expressions of Merry Christmas''; contribution of phrase Delightful Celebrations''.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ At one point, characters much like myself all conversed in the Japanese language. Subsequently, we were transplanted onto an English language knock-off message board inhabited by a variety of hikikomori, dokyuns and other internet misfits, with posts of a quality level of "UNKO".
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ ...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ That's why I hate baths.
>posts of a quality level of "UNKO"
What does that even mean?
>>158
He's saying that the quality of the posts here are shit.
What a cunt.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ What if Hitler never died in his bunker, but lapsed into a brain-dead coma. Could his soul have purified itself over the last century from evil to good? If the answer is "no", is the soul then not merely a construct of the brain - if yes, is morality volitional?
(L[`)y-~~ So these two ducks walk into a bar...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α- Absolute entities cannot exist. If they could, we could not know them since we could not interact with them (i.e. there is no way to comprehend them, since they don't change- if we know them, they change, thus they cannot be absolute entities).
So the whole idea of a soul- which I understand to be "the absolute essence of a living/human entity"- is erroneous because the soul could not interact with anything, could not change, could not move, could not have any qualities, could not be known, could not manifest in any way whatsoever.
So speaking about "absolutes" (without the intention to refute them) is rather absurd.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α- Last night I dreamt that something I posted on the internet was called "typical Nietzschean bullshit". Which one of you did it.
( ί -ί) Last night I dreamt that my ex-girlfriend forgave me and became my friend again...then I woke up to find that she's still ignoring me. Is that related?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Julian Assange is hot.
>>166
Wow, I seriously thought I was the only person in the world who... well, thought, that.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Isn't it odd how many anime (as well as video games and other media) are centered on fighting and violence, portraying it as something beautiful, fun and heroic? The viewers would but suffer if they were forced to kill and maim for their mere survival, and certainly wouldn't enjoy putting their health and very lives at risk on a regular basis.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α- I propose that a new first-person sandbox computer game be created. The player assumes the role of a lowly farm worker or the like, whose home country is suddenly embroiled in war. The objective of the game is to survive - and while it is theoretically possible to get an improvised weapon and try to acquire better ones from the soldiers you somehow manage to incapacitate with it, the game is meant to be realistic in terms of how much damage your body can sustain, consequences of untreated wounds, etc. The main part of the game should therefore be spent as a non-combatant, attempting to get to temporary safety from what will soon be the next battlefield. There may even be a pacifist route in which the eventual goal is to organize a successful anti-war movement. I am as yet uncertain whether it should be set in medieval times or present day. Both have their appeal.
Please tell me if something like this already exists.
>>174
Oh, like, he dreams everything all up, and somehow after some time passes he sees the people who he saw in his dream and spent time with being friends/enemies on the streets, remembering each event as it happened and just moving on with his life, while somehow making the girl that was interested in him, in his dream, his girlfriend?
I'm sure it happened in some obscure anime.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The sayings of those who post in this thread without thinking for a whole day before posting are Communist propaganda and we should find whoever posted them and execute them.
>>170
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I think if you spent more than a couple of hours thinking about that instead of just blurting it out, you'd realise what a silly idea it is.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α- I'd rather feel for 24 hours, but this is fine too.
Maybe I really would benefit from laying off the Internet a little...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Pain teaches nothing.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ DQN is like the home I've always wanted.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Anime died because no one bought Texhnolyze DVDs.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Everything I've said has distracted, "meaning" is a human concept. Everything that is, is enacted - everything, that is, except...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Bumping my original thread that did not have a 24-hour requirement has not elicited any more posts as of 24 hours ago as of this posting, and so it seems this thread will soon surpass it in post count despite the limit.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The fun thing about prophecies announced after the events they predict is that you can check to see if they happened before announcing them. Unfortunately, it is also the lame thing about them.
