What can a man even do with his life?
All my interests now seem corrupted. All work seems like meaninglessly slavery. Most people seem like automatons with no interest in anything beyond immediate gratification.
So what does a man do in a world like this? What purpose can one apply to their life and in what manner can they pursue it?
I don't want to give in to complacency or apathy but lately I've been thinking of the future and what I want from it and can't find any answers.
The lost purpose of the Modern Man
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
No idea. I'm about done trying to find the answers when I'm increasingly convinced there are none anymore.

youl be right cunt, it is just that you are not fully embracing 1488.
There can be only 1488.
Then you will arise great warrior, arise.
Fuck up nazi
1488 is not nazi you 2 digit IQ nigger.
As a Men, you need to face the Truth. The horrible Truth. There is nothing. You have to create your own meaning, no one is here to help you. You are always alone.
It all seems so pointless now.
Why dream of a better society, if they then will fill it with people who will only destroy it.
Why have children who will become the minority in their homelands.

>All my interests now seem corrupted. All work seems like meaninglessly slavery. Most people seem like automatons with no interest in anything beyond immediate gratification.
It's time to kick some ass.
Spite. Its what keeps me going.
This. Step BEYOND the event horizon that is nihilism and set yourself truly free.
Embrace the world of advanced mathematics and philosophy.
>babby's first existential crisis
Grow the fuck up. The meaning of all life is to reproduce and further your genes and ensure the success of the next generation. Anything else that doesn't directly further these goals is a waste of time.
Go get a career, MAKE yourself passionate about it (it doesn't happen on it's own, all jobs suck) get a good wife, have many well cared for and double-parented children.
Commie
Digits confirm this is the answer. Create a large, white, Christian family that knows the truth about Hitler.
>"Heil Hitler" is not nazi
Come on now.
We desperately need purpose. We need people that will show the road to everybody else. But more than that we need War. Not to kill each other, but to give a purpose to some. To create hard people determined to head on to collision course with destiny rather than weak faglings interested only in self gratification.
THIS
First, make sure your physical self is good (can you pay rent, groceries, and medical? Try to kick bad habits like smoking, treat any illnesses). Then make sure your family life is good. If you don't have one, make one. Try to make your kids lives as best as possible, teach them everything, love them and inspire them to walk the same road. Then worry about your extended family and countrymen.Then worry about acquiring luxuries.
Materialism is over rated.
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion.
Pray
>we need war
So, we can lose a generation and rebuild from nothing again?
The wars of the past century cased all of this shit and more war would just make things worse. There will be fewer white people, more scum imported to attempt to 'rebuild' the world which would lead to more problems.
What we need is to kick out the leeches, put them back in their shitholes and start exploring space like we should be doing now.
You wouldn't like to have a god telling you what to do, would you?
That would be oppressive af.
So you should egoistically consume like there is no future for you or your children.
Man is an explorer. But there are no more frontiers on this Earth. Thus, his existence is pointless. Only the stars remain. Alas, we were born too early for that. We are the middle children of history.
>keep on surviving by doing things you hate and have children so you and your children can keep doing things you hate to survive and reproduce
There's the sea matey
The cause of the increase in apathy, nihilism, hedonism, and other degenerate behaviours is the lack of struggle the modern world faces. Our societies have been based around "Man vs X"; the eternal struggle. During the paleolithic this struggle was "Man vs Hunger", during the neolithic it became "Man vs the Unknown", and during the enlightenment it was "Man vs Authority". Today, we have no struggle. Life is simple, life is easy. The only way to change this is to either force humanity forward and conquer the heavens- or force it far back, and destroy all that we have today. Either way, life will regain meaning.
This is actually a thoroughly compelling idea: that purpose can only exist with struggle. Would give credence to the statistics that suggest on average people in third world shitholes are happier than their western counterparts.
think beyond the construct of society either better your life or others, you dont have to be filthy rich to be happy.
Did you call me gay?
start laying down on a busy sidewalk
>Do thing you hate
>Do it well
>Do it better than anyone else
>Pride and happiness will follow
Besides, being a man is not about doing what you like. It's about doing what must be done to ensure the prosperity of your dependants. Your happiness is intertwined with their success, you'd understand if you had kids soiboi.
Any good reads or documentaries out there?
Struggle towards what? What is worth struggling for in modern world? What is worth to struggle for in my personal world? I can't seem to answer this question.
I'm a version of your brother you can trust.
Don't run. Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody's gonna die.
Come watch tv.
Focus on fulfillment indirectly, by following the four ancient Virtues:
Wisdom
Justice
Fortitude
Temperance
Your own morality is paramount.
>What we need is to kick out the leeches, put them back in their shitholes and start exploring space like we should be doing now.
Can't do that without a war, bro.
>being a man is not about
oh didnt know you were the authority on what being a man is about
but i cant really argue with you if you can uphold the illusion that your life has purpose because of your kids good for you i guess.
it may work for you but dont go passing it around like having kids its the ultimate salvation in life, most people will just be born into a life mostly filled with pain and suffering
Join the FFL
Unforgettable experience, but you might die for the frogs, which sounds really gay.
How do you even look in a mirror you depressed heap of humanity. Kids are not a project for your salvation or entertainment, they are a responsibility and a duty. You think your "it's all meaningless" nihilism is the deeper insight about the world? The "harsh truth"? So pathetic.
stoicism eh
nice
I'm a mad scientist, i pursue immortality, the godseed, and power over the fabric of reality at every level except social.
You could try that or sucking Dickson, the eternal choice of the Op
>What can a man even do with his life?
Same thing the rest of us do, fap to anime, here's some to get you started. careful shes a fire cracker
We're either last breed of men reaching for the light or just another peak in sinusoide. Depends on you OP, will you stop being a fag ?
All I want to do is run my own farm.
One of the only things I can find intrinsic good in is the natural order. Farming puts me close to that.
I am thinking of moving to australia and doing it there, since land is so plentiful there.
didn't read, too long. Quick rundown plz?
You can struggle for your beliefs, or your faith, or your political ideology. Adopt communism and you will struggle against the bourgeoisie, adopt nazism and you will struggle against the jews, adopt Christianity and you will struggle against sin. These will help slightly since these are not open threats, you don't meet the bourgeoisie nor do you meet the secretly reigning Jews, nor does sin have any affect on your life at the moment. Thus, without willpower you may fall back into the pits of despair. However, if you have children you can struggle to mould them into moral beings and someone better than you could ever hope to be. This however, though good, is only a personal struggle; not all will have children. Thus, society must change to adapt a struggle. This could be accomplished via war and her effects, or climate change and her's. It could also come into fruition through the advancement of the sciences, and the subsequent colonisation of the universe.
>just another peak in sinusoide
Explain.
Go to a US State like Montana or the Dakotas. You'll feel at home.
It's very hard to emmigrate to the US. Otherwise I would love to go.
>be gay
t. Hans, jose and pajeet can do it, but i guess it's too difficult for a gercunt to pull off
I'd love to go as well, but the only way in is through marriage or having an arranged job. I've lost hope.
California will let you in if you say you're a refugee :P
Lol those people who don't have kids just failed at life. Pain ans suffering are due to their own hedonistic and nihilistic choices.
>kids as a salvation
Lol no. You are an animal, an animals purpose is to procreate and spread their genes, if you did not then kill yourself. You lost the game, get out, no do overs.
Bump. Same.
I dont want to build my life in a country where they might kick me out at any time.
That would be very irresponsible.
Id say classical art or hardcore mathematics, and wait for some meritocracy in the workplace.
I don't know about you, but I'm working to finish my degree and become a civil engineer so that I can fix my country's roads, buildings, and anything infrastructure related. I'm also thinking going into politics so that I can fix my shambles of a country. Hopefully gonna turn this Lebanon into a Lebanon for lebanese Christians.
Find a serious problem in your community and try to fix it. Become a politician. You say everything is corrupted? Good. Be the beacon of morality. You say people have no interest in anything beyond instant gratification? Good. Show them that long term hardwork pays off tenfold. Be the change ausbro.

I was about to post this answer to someone in another thread, who said essentially that there's purpose in biology/DNA. Guess I'll post it here.
Not anymore. When I fully realized the depths of the blackpill regarding the current steadfast trajectory we're on to what seems like an inevitable transition from human biological life to non-biological life, it quite literally usurps the purpose of that which you mention.
WWII was the final crossroad, Man's dominion over technology (Nazis) or Technology's dominion over Man (USA).
CLENE UR RUME
This, I'm studying and saving money to invest in my own country so that it stops relying on oil. I'm sure it won't make a difference at all, but I will know that I did something.
That's a very good aesthetic answer, and I shed one very masculine tear reading it.
This is too one-sided. The man is having an existential crisis, not looking for politics. BEGONE!
This is what the man is currently doing.
The first is correct, but saying that the middle is pointless because it is not the beginning or the end is utterly retarded. It is a pre-requisite for the end. In fact, it might be the most important, considering the middle can be the changing element of the story. That is, if you accept free will. If you do not, there's no sense in arguing at all, or saying anything at all, or doing anything at all.
We'll get there, buddy.
Not making tons of sense, but I think we can extract some knowledge from it. Children are very important for mental well being, and are definitely the largest part of our mortal lives.
What I advise is to free yourself of the world emotionally. The only way I have succeeded in doing this is through Christ. I do not feel the least bit emotional anymore about any of our political issues. The current state does not bother me. I try to shape the world into something better. Correct the incorrect within myself and others. Another very important thing to do is to shape yourself into a man that is going to be a good father. If you do these things, you will start to find enjoyment in immediate gratification like vidya. It also depends on where your ambitions are set. If you want to be mega-alpha, have super hot wife, and dominate in some area, go for it. If you are content with mid-range wife, family, and easy life, that is also good enough. What matters in the end is how you act as an individual, and how you raise your kids.
Hope this helps.
If you look closely at history it's constant fight between order and degeneracy, humans cannot find something inbetween. If you look at Berlin before Hitler you will see literal town of whores. Situation was so bad that pretty much every family was selling it's body to tourists, levels of degeneracy were insane. Whores, homosexuality,trans, family orgies. Hitler hated Berlin as symbol of moral decadency of Germany, he brought order. Same happened numerous times in our history - degeneracy of nobility brought revolution upon them in France, opium wars, even fall of Rome was result of decying culture. Now we've got USA as mother culture for Europe, they're going down the same path as always. It's up to us to stop them and bring order back. Can't think how low humanity will fall if we fail
Think playing a video game with infinite hp and ammo and cheats. Boring.
Jeez, you normies ITT...
1. The answer, the way, the truth and the life is Jesus Christ, his sacrifice and his sayings.
2. The purpose is to give glory to God and Jesus for your creation and to build a world as close to the perfection as the one before the fall
3. You do this by using all your God-given talents to succeed to your highest potential
4. You remain thankful for this and by humbling yourself and reaping the rewards of your hard work, you gain happiness
Brainlets who haven't figured this out... I swear...
>All my interests now seem corrupted. All work seems like meaninglessly slavery
Right in my feels.
Ever since i became aware of the (((greater picture))) nothing really brings me joy anymore. I used to like my job, now i hate it. I used to like my friends, now i don't. I used to like video games, now i despise them.
The only thing that brings me any stimulus is weight lifting and fucking my gf.
why do you have to bring down everyone with this faggotry? realize life has ups and downs and tomorrow you'll be just fine. just avoid killing yourself, keep learning and lifting and one day you'll stop being a pathetic piece of shit
>taking advice from DUDE GOD LMAO
Yeah no.
The first step is to stop caring about the fact that other people have no interest in the good things.
They never have and never will. Greatness wouldn't be greatness if it were commonplace.
You are getting close to the truth. Find your ancestors, study what made them great. Learn your history back to the founding of your people.
When you do this you will feel the obligation to be the greatest man you can be, because you no longer carry your own desires with you, but those of the dozens of men whose successive efforts gave rise to your existence.
This obligation is not a burden dragging you down from reaching your goals, as our sick society would have you think, but rather a pair of wings to guide you down the path you were called to take.
Once you have done this, and know yourself, you will know how best to use your talents to build a career to serve your people. Seek that out.
Then find a good woman and have children, and raise them with the lessons you learned.
I'm just searching around in the dark for fun and waiting
yes have a family, then wage cuck for the rest of your life, send your kids to indoctrination chambers and see how the spark from their eyes dims as they are being brainswashed by everyone around them. make them go to college so they can be a productive member of the society, a nice contribution to the gdp and a stat on the tax sheets, never amounting to anything more.
let your daughter expirement as we are in a free society, do not speak up against the current power structures as that would be raycisss, do not stand up to people as if you kill your enemies they win
yes, continue following the left and right political illussions of the (((current world))), the last saviour of the common sense and anti degeneracy was hitler, he almost succeeded. now we are paying the price of his failure.
...
>working for someone else
trading your energy for pieces of fucking paper with no real value
REEEEEE
while he was the frontman, the magicians of thule and vril societies were more influential, but still, his speeches do make me shed a tear.. he was close....
Oh, ok. I understood what you meant then.
I agree that history is a cycle between decadence/decay but it's different this time. Vast portions of the population hate themselves and welcome their replacement and extinction. It will be an incredibly hard fight to reverse this.
America will fall just as Rome did. Europe needs to be ready or we'll have another Dark Age again.
The world seems corrupted? Make a new one.
steal copper from vancant houses, make ingots, sell them, eat from the dumpster, make a list, kill everyone on it, whatever man you are blessed with time and resources, kill some reporters
No they won't, they are most likely white.
>being this retarded
you can exchange those pieces of paper for gold, rice, cars...
sure it'll lost maybe %0.5 of it's value between you receiving it and you spending it but it then it keeps %99.5 of it's value anyways...
Work. Eat. Drink. Sleep. Vote. Marry. Make children. Get them to vote. Work. Eat. Drunk. And sleep.
Doesn't feel like enough, does it.
Explore. Hunt. Invent. Create. Build. Construct. Give your children something to look up to.
>Instant gratification
14 isn't, but 88 literally is you dunce.
The truth will liberate us. I believe pendulum is swinging in our favor, America doesn't have to fall, people chose Trump even when everybody told them not to. Americans used to be the wisest nation on earth, loving liberty distrusting government ,I believe those old timers are still out there waiting to bring good old times back. We still have to do our part tho
the 14 words were spoken by a neo-nazi though
I remember reading about the Thule/Vril Society surviving the war and spreading throughout the West. Maybe something will happen?
>not painting your skin brown and taping your pubes to your face
Anyone can be a shitskin with some effort.
coming here after some time. whats up with these fagots? wtf
those people were dead at least by the time the federal reserve was created, more so by the second world war.
the people you describe are all dead.
Our Purpose is coming soon brother, keep lifting and reading.
yeah and when shit hits the fan everyone will be in dire need of the fucking fiat. my point was more about slaving away and wasting your energy for others (as is the case for the majority) for mere paper
many went on to work for nasa and nato i think.. maybe theres still real germans waiting in antarctica, readying to show themselves, who knows.. what i've heard its not gonna get any better at all.. the pole shifts... when jörmungandr starts moving around the whole earth will tremble
Try psychedelics, I'm not joking.
It pulls you out of your everyday thinking patterns, you can try something else. It usually ends up being the way you always were because it's actually the easiest way for you.
You can break free if you reach for the light!
Well said, user.
they can help for a short period of time, put you in a better state of mind, but once you've ammassed enough knowledge and experimented enough with psychadelics, even that doesnt help at all
what about heroin though? theyve made it appear that opiates are something from the devil, but are they?
come home white man
Growing shit here is hard without major capital for water pumps and irrigation. A lot of places have salty soil too.
