Date: April 2nd, 2024 9:17 PM Author: walnut vigorous set being 'smart' increases the likelihood that you will suffer some grandiose post-adolescent Hamletesque existential nervous breakdown at some point (although it's far from a given; a lot of 'smart' people are not terribly 'sensitive' or neurotic, and are perfectly content with life).
but even if you're one of William James' 'twice born' neurotics, if you survive into middle age, you end up becoming so burned out that you're left kind of permanently numb. this in turn allows you to take pleasure in simple and mundane things again, as a born-again normie. though everything has the whiff of approaching death in it. |

Date: April 3rd, 2024 1:42 PM Author: razzmatazz deer antler hissy fit Protip: most dumbs are miserable too. But the real source of XO's misery isn't being smart, it is having unrealistic expectations. So many people here expect to have constant app slores ready to put out or millions in the bank or whatnot. Then their realistic options are a regular UMC job and a regular female to wife that is about on their level and they freak out and become miserable.

Date: April 3rd, 2024 9:32 PM Author: razzmatazz deer antler hissy fit One thing I've come to learn is that some reasonably happy people seem to be ok with getting enraged over all sorts of silly things. Steve Jobs was famous for easily getting totally unhinged and enraged over minor shit. People like that are assholes, but they're not necessarily unhappy. Some of these people appear to enjoy letting themselves be total shitheads to other people.
Now, it is more common that people like this lash out because they're miserable people, but I wouldn't assume that this is universal. |

Date: April 3rd, 2024 9:37 PM Author: razzmatazz deer antler hissy fit Absolutely. But he seemed pretty happy with himself and his life, even if he treated everyone else like total shit. He seemed to legitimately enjoy it. I see zero evidence that he was actually unhappy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5512511&forum_id=2#47553448) |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2024 9:37 PM Author: Comical base i dont think happy people treat others like shit. anger is triggered by the non-fulfillment of desire. if you walk around angry all the time, and make yourself feel better by hurting others, there's something missing in your life.

|
Date: April 4th, 2024 2:41 PM Author: razzmatazz deer antler hissy fit Or they're just assholes. They feel good because they get to use their power to hurt others. I'm not saying this is good, but it does exist. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5512511&forum_id=2#47555441) |

|
Date: April 4th, 2024 3:08 PM Author: razzmatazz deer antler hissy fit People feel "naturally good" when they can do what they want in life and feel fulfilled. For some that means they make the world a better place. For others, that means they make the world a worse place. Some people are just really bad people. It doesn't mean they're not happy.
I think you're deriving your theories from how YOU work. I used to make the same mistake and think exactly what you're saying. However, people really are different and I've realized that some people are legit awful. I feel good saving dogs. However, some people wish they could kill dogs all day because they hate dogs. It isn't because they're miserable, it is because they're evil. |

Date: April 4th, 2024 3:12 PM Author: Comical base yeah i dont believe that evil people are happy. just look at them. by your logic, heroin addicts can be happy because they enjoy shooting up. youve rendered the term meaningless, like a liberal. but whatever, youre entitled to your opinion and i dont really care discuss further (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5512511&forum_id=2#47555536) |

Date: April 4th, 2024 4:26 PM Author: razzmatazz deer antler hissy fit Parting thought: Steve Jobs had more money than he could ever spend. If being an asshole and running a company really made him miserable, he could stop at any time. It isn't heroin, it isn't some drug. He did it because he loved power, including power over people. His idea of true power was being able to be a total asshat to them with zero consequences. This is why he was a really bad person but if that made him miserable then he could easily stop. He didn't. He kept doing it right up to when he was no longer physically able to and then he died.
Another example: TDNW would absolutely murder Russian children if he could. He would do this if he had everything else he ever wanted in life. He's just a bad person. |
