All there is for entertainment is music, movies, books, videogames, parties, sex and going out to see new places. If you dont like at least one of those things, you're gonna have an awful time in this world.

>>7415776 Maybe I am... I don't know These people don't dream bigger, they don't have their own ambitions, they just live every day of their life like groundhog day, taking about useless shit that is completely irrelevant, and the world wouldn't be worse off if they, and everything they were interested in, didn't exist. They aren't getting involved in life. It's like they're incredibly simple.

>>7415776 As in intellectual discussions about relevant topics, using logic, reason and evidence to come to conclusions in a conversation. That's the depth that OP is looking for, for sure. It's hard to come about people that actually want to talk reality and be rational because most people aren't raised that way, and in our culture, it's not a very popular thing to do. To them, it's "you better keep having sex, keep partying and fitting in with all the social norms that you can eventually rank yourself higher in the social ladder!"

>anymore people have been complaining about how stupid others are since the romans and back, it's not recent, and even besides, there is no objective standard for "leading a fulfilling life". they might not meet your standards but I can guarantee they're having more fun what do you like to talk about opee, books, the latest art house films, offbeat music genres, traveling? what genuinely sets you apart from them other than them having different interests to pursue? I'm not trying to pick on you, but superiority complexes in general vex me

50 min later 7415914 Anonymous
>>7415859 Why am I special? Because I see the inanity of video games, card games, sex, drinking, partying, and see these are forms of doing nothing. Interests include, cryptography, Mandarin, travelling, political discussion, computer programming (among various other things on a computer), reading literature, singing... everyone I know doesn't even have a deep knowledge/interest in their actual interests, so it quite frustrating.

>>7415855 I don't really know what's pretentious about it. I'm as proud of myself as I would be for anyone else who has waded through criticisms and ostracization from their culture and people around them in order to reach rationality. If someone wants to lockdown into their fantasy world like most people do, that's fine and that's their decision, but they're sacrificing their connection with reality, and that is something that most people have a hard time with admitting to. Logical thought, specifically from animals with a prefrontal cortex, is the most depth that any human could achieve and would need.

>>7415904 Any topic that is occurring in someone's, or a group's life, that is either affecting them currently, or going to eventually, against their will, is the most immediate relevant topics that come to mind.

To all of you pretentious autistic niggers. Intelligence =/= wide spectrum of knowledges. Intelligence = being able to articulate knowledges into the real world. That's the difference between being informed and cultured. Now you can keep hating on plebs and normalfags but they're much more successful using their fish brains than you are using yours because they understand the concept of human cooperation you obviously can't grasp yet suffer from.

>>7415914 those are inanity as well, none of those matter at the end of the day when you recount how you spent your life or when you randomly lose it. if you genuinely enjoy those things then more power to you, have fun, enjoy yourself. but if you like them to feel above others or genuinely can't stand others for their differences then I'm sorry for what imagine is a terrible life you lead in your self created fortress of solitude it's fine to wish you had friends with similar interests, but it's an altogether different thing to look down with spite at those who don't share them or have "lower" interests. just enjoy life and the people around you man, these inward barriers creating will only harm you

>>7415951 It seems you just don't understand the value of casual social interaction. It's more the fact that they're enjoying each other's company than they're enjoying the conversation topic, if that makes sense. It's fine if you don't enjoy it, but don't be a dick about it.

>>7415958 Not quite ambitious, and not OP. I don't have a current career; it's not really relevant anyway. We're just talking about depth. Depth is from the ability to think logically, and display reality. Someone who's using logic, on their own, will figure out why they'd want to pursue their own interests and not what society would tell them to, unless their interest is to pursue what society tells them to do. >>7415964 I don't think there's an argument against cooperation, just against people not thinking for themselves.

Autists are the ones who focus in depth over various fields of knowledge and who don't appreciate social interactions. People don't have the same time preference as you do. They go banter in bars instead of bantering over here at /r9k2/. What's the difference? Find people like you or whatever, who cares.

>>7416013 That's the point. The most intelligent people I know can't think for anyone but themselves. What's the point except self-contemplation and intellectual masturbation? When they realize the real deal is to work hard for everyone but/before themselves, they quit their state of self-satisfaction and can make the necessary connection between complex knowledges and actual life.

>>7416040 Again, I'm not OP, and I did not assert that I was superior, but that rational thought is superior to irrational thought, which I will stand by, unless someone proposes are fairly well-reasoned counter-argument. (Valuing rational thought is valuing the human species over other animals.)

>my interests are superior to everyone else if you don't think like me and act like me you are an uninteresting sheep Get off your fucking high horse. Your interests are no more interesting to other people as theirs are to you. And people who flaunt their intelligence around are just as bad as dudebro retards, especially if you haven't accomplished anything with that intelligence. You're have the mindset of a shit talking wigger, you think yourself so high when you're really no different. Maybe if you had more friends you would realize that you aren't a special snowflake.
