At an aquarium I watched a tropical fish have fun with a water jet. It would swim into the jet, get propelled from it across the tank, then swim back, repeating as long as I watched it.

Part of me felt bad for how bored it must've been living its life in such a tiny habitat. Part of me felt joy that it was indeed having fun doing loops in its waterpark.

When God was abandoned, money became the top object of worship. Is that experiment going well yet?

> This entire tirade is unhinged and filled with insane claims and trash science.

Which claims are insane and trash science? Because I've looked these up. For example, I said that "Suicides at up 37% in 20 years, 80% male." and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention clearly lists [1] (Data Table: Suicide Rates) the rate was 10.4 per 100k people in 2000, and 14.1 per 100k in 2021. 14.1 divided by 10.4 gives 135.57, an increase of 35.57% in 21 years.

Go ahead. Disprove my claims.

> Is your problem with this that women are having sex? Or that they aren’t prostituting themselves? Or perhaps the problem that they aren’t having sex “with you”?

The problem is that every sexual partner a women has decreases her odds of successful marriage. The Institute for Family Studies [2] (Figure 1) clearly shows a correlation between a woman's premarital sex count and her divorce rate. She literally loses the ability to pair bond.

Prostitution is a very strong word. What I mean by "free" is that they're not securing commitment before giving it up, and ending up with no commitment (marriage). Nice try with the ad hominem. The National Survey of Family Growth [3] lists the number of lifetime sexual partners for sexually experienced men at 6.3; I lost count around a dozen years ago so no, I'm definitely not "unhinged" because "I'm not getting any". Try again.

> Control themselves from what exactly? The examples you give are breaking up with/divorcing a spouse, getting cosmetic surgery and dying alone. The biggest problem you have with women, it seems, is that women are fully autonomous human beings.

Control themselves from spreading their legs without commitment. Control themselves from fleeting negative emotions. Control themselves from destroying families over social media propaganda. Control themselves from permanently mutilating their bodies for vanity.

If being a "fully autonomous human being" means "self-destructing to extinction" then yes, perhaps thinking that women are capable of being fully autonomous humans beings is indeed the grand mistake. No human being is fully autonomous. We are all halves of a whole, and part of larger society. Women seem hell-bent on denying all that, to everyone's detriment.

> Stats? What stats?

The UK Mental Health Foundation [4] finds that "Women between the ages of 16 and 24 are almost three times as likely (26%) to experience a common mental health issue as males of the same age".

[4] https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/explore-mental-health/statis...

The 2018 General Social Survey [5] noted that 28% of young men aged 18-29 did not have sex within the past year, while the corresponding stat for women was 18%. Meaning, more women are having sex with less men -> women are more promiscuous. This corroborates my personal experience in dating.

> Literally not possible. Are these the stats that you keep talking about?

The 2017 rate of birth control among women was 64.9% [6]. It has only gone up following the "sexual liberation" and "fuck around and find out" attitudes. Nearly all women I've dated had a hormonal birth control implant. I can't find conclusive and up-to-date numbers, maybe 90% is slightly high an estimate, but it seems realistic to me.

> Narrator: It’s you.

Nice try, try again. I've now staked my claims in excruciating detail. If you're trolling, nice job wasting my time looking all this up for the umpteenth time.

False. Stats from dating apps show that men find most women attractive, while women find most men unattractive.

If by "drifting apart" you mean feminists screaming "kill all men!" at rallies, young women laughing "we don't need men for anything" at interviews, and young men observing what happens to older men in divorce court, and seeing the stats revealing how utterly disinterested and incapable modern women are of pair bonding anymore.

Suicides at up 37% in 20 years, 80% male. 90% of women are hopelessly addicted to hormonal birth control, stunting their sexual maturity. Single motherhood and sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise. Women keep voting for more taxes and foreign handouts while doing none of the difficult labor to pay for it, and men, who are being told they are useless and repulsive are left wondering what incentive they have to work nor date at all.

Birth rates are plummeting, fertility has halved in a few decades, antidepressant prescriptions skyrocketing. This is the end of western civilization as we know it. An entire generation of young people - currently our most scarce resource - are being lost to women literally rebelling against their own nature, not caring about being wives nor mothers, shouting "oppressive patriarchy!" at every opportunity, all the while out clubbing and giving premarital sex for free to a few select men, and producing pornography to fund irresponsible lifestyles.

I've had a front row seat watching this unfold throughout the course of my entire life, which began with my mother destroying my family and blaming my dad for it, while she herself made my growing up life a living hell. My dad's second woman cheated and left, so my oldest sibling is in the same boat. I watched my mom blow up her second marriage as well. Every single woman I've dated has been clinically insane, cheating, and promiscuous beyond belief - first I thought I might be the problem, but then I saw the stats. It's everyone's problem, and women aren't going to fix it.

We're on a fast track to extinction, accelerating. Women are out of control. They can't control themselves, and refuse to be controlled by any man, encouraging each other on social media to abandon boyfriends, divorce husbands, get cosmetic surgery, and ultimately die alone, unloved, and medicated out of their gourd.

This is a cosmic war, and Satan is winning.

So these ancient granite constructions exhibit tool markings of computer-aided design precision, laser cutting, and power drilling. These enormous granite obselisks weigh more than even modern cranes can lift. But they were allegedly "hand-chiseled" and lifted from quarries by a dozen men with ropes. Yet no-one with actual modern computers and lasers and drills and cranes has been able to replicate any of it. Oh and every ancient structure is "ceremonial" that these stone age people built in their spare time.

Is it possible one of these laser satellites miss and hit you in the eye? Would that blind a man?

It seems to me the intention was to allow women to choose when to have children, not to forgo the process of reproduction entirely and plunge our species into extinction-level birth rate falling off a cliff!

Yeah, it's unfair to women that men get to do all the plumbing, mining, construction, warfare, etc. demand equality!

Sure. Back when I partied, people were phoning me up, I took cabs from one party to the next. Every weekend, sometimes multiple parties on the same day. People came to hug me, some even literally said I was an "integral part of their party experience". Something about being easy to be themselves in my presence.

Your attempted ad hominem falls flatter on its face than a pancake mask at a hydraulic press factory. I've not only partied a lot in my youth and was very liked, I was deep in the scene, friends with the crews that organized the parties, the DJs, camera and audio techs, backstage, etc.

It's technically a video game.

Why do any of them exist?

Reporting from Finland, there is no community other than church.

Possibly depends on your definition of adolescence. I'm 35. Wikipedia says "age provides only a rough marker of adolescence, and scholars have not agreed upon a precise definition", so if you want me to answer you accurately, you're going to have to provide more definition.

> One simply cannot reason ones way around the emotional core that drives us as humans.

Found the flaw in your argument. I am not driven by emotions. If therapy is all about that then all the more reason to not waste time with it.

My (accurate accounting of) history with building and maintaining meaningful interpersonal relationships is fine. Why do you assume I need help with that?

In these comments I see a lot of imagining problems I supposedly have right now, when all I did was share the problems I used to suffer from, in the context of a discussion about the systemic, environmental deficiencies in how society is structured causing massive waste of human potential.

Therapy takes time and money. I don't use emotions to make decisions on how to invest my time and money. You're arguing in favor of investing my time and money into a questionably effective solution to an imagined problem.

> Yes I'm well aware of the grandiosity you attribute yourself

Where is this coming from? I know it's not coming from me because my explicit narrative is precisely that my life lacks these "grandiose" things as you put them, for the obvious reasons I laid out.

Since it's not coming from me, sounds like projection coming from you.

I'm happy for your alleged ability to see wrongness, but bring into question the validity of merely exclaiming so without any explanation. You didn't just read and see wrongness, you wrote about it without any content whatsoever. Your comment is entirely void of substance.

So how am I wrong, or are you satisfied merely virtue-signaling?

My suicide rate is and will forever remain zero, so your continual bringing that up as a reason in favor of therapy is having the opposite effect.

If you truly believed that therapy is for me, you'd be glad to give me the long argument. You already know I won't buy it because you know it isn't.

If smartness is so great, how is awareness of it a problem? Your statement appears contradictory, could you elaborate?

Can confirm these are good suggestions, already been there, already done that, did indeed help :)

You appear to be inserting your own words into my mouth. Nowhere did I say I was terrible. In fact, I'm doing better than ever before. That's in large part due to accurate accounting. You even say I'm "sitting here" with a connotation of passivity, as if there's no way I could be typing this at a standing desk or a phone while on the move. You're trying to hammer "victim mentality" so hard down my throat it's... kind of hilarious.

These grandiose achievements as you put them consist of basic necessities for survival. The fact you use words like "grandiose" reveals a deeply dismissive attitude towards the suffering of others. I'm guessing, because you've completely dismissed your own suffering, along with the benefits of accurate accounting. Maybe that was the only way for you to move forward. I'm capable of having awareness and accounting and still moving forward.

You seem to be so afraid of past truth you're literally exclaiming "it doesn't matter" while intensely commenting on mine and sharing your own. So clearly it does matter to some repressed part of you.

> no matter how much I felt the pain from the trauma I suffered, that trauma never went away.

Soo... stop feeling the pain and just do accurate accounting. Why are you making this so complicated?

> And finally I'm putting it behind me.

No offense, the way you talk doesn't sound like that's actually happening.

> It doesn't matter that your accounting of your history is accurate or not.

There's a ridiculously destructive belief if I've ever heard one. Your PHD is an accurate accounting of your research. Your bank account is an accurate accounting of your earnings. I hope your wonderful girlfriend is accurate in her accounting of your relationship, because the alternative is she's cheating on you. See where this is going?

Dismissing accurate accounting of anything, including history, is a recipe for disaster.

Accurate accounting is the #1 skill that has drastically improved my quality of life.

> But nobody is going to make you change. You will either wake up one day and be so tired of your own bullshit that you will start to change.

You seem to be under the false belief that I'm somehow stuck unable to change. Don't know where this is coming from, but it smells of projection. You're dismissing accurate counting of history so hard it's almost like you're afraid to face the truth.

I'm not afraid of an accurate accounting of the truth, on the contrary. We call that wisdom.

> Fixation on how your present circumstances might be better if not for the wrong done by others to the extent that you describe it as a severe and chronic issue is neither inescapable nor particularly factual.

So your stance is that I imagined the whole thing? You're not making any sense here. It's absolutely, undisputably factual that when a child lacks basic necessities for development, they don't develop properly and will suffer as a consequence.

As a consciously conscious being, I have awareness of that suffering. That's not a "fixation", it's an actual chronic issue that makes life 100x harder than it needs to be, and awareness of the issue is the antidote to preventing something similar from happening to others, especially by my doing.

You are attempting to null my experience, I don't know why, but you're failing at it because you cannot null the cold, hard, objective, measurable facts simply by saying "nuh uh".

"A set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population"?

That just describes sexual selection in general. Of course you think with your big head when choosing a mate, not the small one that's easily fooled.

You make it sound like choosing good genes for your offspring is evil or something.

> do you ever consider that your experience grants you the opportunity to lead life away from the well-travelled track to success, and do something personally and actually meaningful?

Like what, fail in an entertaining manner?

Imagine telling a malnourished child that their experience grants them the opportunity to lead life away from the well-tasted fruit to satiation, and do something personally and actually meaningful, while starving to death.

That's how stupid that sounds. "Have you tried eating dirt?"

My definition of amazing at this point is not being useless then dying alone and unloved.

> They give you the skills necessary to interact with your life today.

I'm fully interacting with my life today. My life today is not a problem. I'm the master of survival skills for my particular environment - I would've died already otherwise.

The problem is the circumstances that failed to cultivate and extract my potential. The problem was leaving me to fend for myself. The problem was godlessness, immorality, violence, and stupidity.

No therapist can fix that. Ergo, therapy is a waste of time.

> If you are struggling to handle problems yet believe you already know and are doing everything then I would suggest you find some humility.

Can you explain this? Knowing and doing everything is a struggle almost by definition. This struggle I welcome with glee because it's a struggle I choose to endure for the betterment of my quality of life, and through health and productivity, hopefully a benefit to all one day.

Everything I said is inescapable fact. A victim mentality would be "I can't do anything about it". I have the opposite mindset, so you're entirely wrong to suggest this. An accurate account of history is not victim mentality, it's truth.

Yes! I've consciously decided to learn to like many things in life that I used to hate, because they are good for me. I see no reason to assume animals aren't capable of the same. It just takes time.

That seems so 100% wrong to me. Who are you to say what tapeworms do or don't comprehend? We don't even understand consciousness, yet here you are exclaiming that tapeworms are essentially robots fated to die of extinction.

They are not. They are conscious beings in charge of their lives and evolution like any other being is. They might have less brain cells than us, but you don't know what they are thinking.

Yes. There's no such thing as "infinite value" and certainly not for every individual. Our value, especially as men, is entirely tied to our ability to get shit done. If you do nothing, you are literally worthless.

Therapy is not a solution, it's just wasting time dwelling on the problems, which I'm already aware of and struggling to fix. There is nothing a therapist can tell me that I don't already know, and aren't already doing.

I don't self-harm, I'm not suicidal, I'm not even depressed. I'm just so late to the party that the chances of making it shrink ever smaller each year. No therapist can ever turn back time, so no therapist can ever help.
