Lurkers thread Nanonymous No.12521 [D][S][L][A][C] >>12531

Another meta thread, for fucks sake. Just search for a thread and post a comment or make a useful thread, it's not that difficult.

If you believe in what you said go make a thread instead of complaining and spreading negativity.

I do that nearly every day. I'm might even go further and say I'm the only anon keeping this imageboard alive.

Take your hippie philosophy to 8ch, not here.

I'll say again: it's not difficult, you just have to find a topic you like, then make a thread. Another anon did that on /a/ just now, you can do too instead of complaining like a kid.

Also, did I tell you to fuck off?

Funny you say that cause i made that thread. (if you mean the snk thread)
I'm just interested in what lurkers have to say and if they exist here(seems they do after all), you're the one with a problem here not me, so i turn back the offer to fuck off back to you :D

Tech-psycnogger here, I make some threads, but restrain from creating some due to it being too narrow interest, which could de-anonymize me. Some complain that I'm trying to make /g/ like stackoverflow, but the reason I post on here instead of the clear web is that some of the topics are too specific and would make me light-up on the clearnet to corps or glowers.

Hello, I am a chronic lurker. I've spend most of my life collecting information of any kind. I have gotten by, for the most part, on just echoing this information back at people but I'm finally hitting the point at which this lifestyle is unfeasible. Everyday I try and fail to abandon my information addiction. Ironically I know exactly what I need to do to fix my life but I just don't do it. No matter what wake up call I get, no matter what the consequences are, I get by and nothing changes. This existence is very painful to me but it's not so painful as to inspire change. I have removed most of the things that tie me to my addiction but I am in a deadlock. I require access to information in order to progress in a meaningful way but as long as I have access to information, I won't progress in a meaningful way because I know that if I do, I won't have access to information and my subconsciousness is fucking me over, literally. Even within this post there are contradictions inherent to my state of constant cognitive dissonance.

Affirmative, but talking about things on Tor cannot be linked back to you, unless they admit they've broken it. I shouldn't have too much to worry about, I'm not using it for drugs or cp related bullshit. But it's likely enough to obfuscate activity for the data miners of the clear web.

I lurk to the point of endangering myself to suicide from disconnection from things beyond even the normalcattle-sphere. I post so little and have tried to use certain patterns on purpose to see if nanons recognize me because I'm bored.
>>16611
This is very relatable. I have an information addiction that, due to not being quenchable by common core (((academia))), causes me to barely get by in school. I shared none of the classes with arrogant "nerds" who only cared about advanced classes for job opportunities and flaunting yet wanted nothing to do with the lemmings I was forced to breathe air within meters of on a daily basis.

Though it wasn't directed towards me, this is uplifting and I'll keep in mind it was said by a nanon for future reference. Thanks.

>I lurk to the point of endangering myself to suicide
I think you are misinterpreting your surroundings. Living in isolation has a lot of negatives but there are also positives. The way I see it, you are not taking advantage of any of the positives. The biggest advantage I can think of is the lack of common assumptions. Most people are held back by what they believe to be absolute truths when in reality everything is relative. I'll attach some interesting books I'm reading right now which might help you.
>I shared none of the classes with arrogant "nerds" who only cared about advanced classes for job opportunities and flaunting yet wanted nothing to do with the lemmings I was forced to breathe air within meters of on a daily basis.
Normal people are here to stay. You can't be living on the hope that you meet somebody like-minded. The way I went about this problem is to make friends with the fringe nerds with which I can engage in interesting technical discussions and to make friends with normal people who have some overlapping interests. I spread my social needs over a large group of people and get close to very few. If you decide to go down my route, be warned that it's just a substitute and therefore ultimately unsustainable. You would need to harvest as many relationships as you can while in the education system because when you get into the real world, everything will get much harder and your friends will only diminish in numbers.
>not being quenchable by common core (((academia)))
Seriously consider skipping years of education. If you are confident in your intelligence, there is nothing stopping you from learning the material on your own and passing the exams. I wish I tried when I could.

P.S. A good way to find books it to go on torrent lists and order all the books by seeders.

>Normal people are here to stay. ... The way I went about this problem ...
The way to go about this problem is to stop viewing yourself as anormal. No matter how knowledgeable or rational you are, you are no more extraordinary than the most ordinary, no matter how ignorant or irrational they are. It is not intelligence but experience, what defines people, and you don't experience by being smug.

Also, hi. I'm a lurker, and don't post, because I can't stand anormies.

Nanonymous No.16659 [D] >>16660

>It is not intelligence but experience, what defines people, and you don't experience by being smug.
I think there is a lot more to people than intelligence and experience. And "experience" and smugness are not mutually exclusive. I can gather experience and still be smug about it.

Nanonymous No.16660 [D] >>16662 >>16682
>>16659
What more is there to a man than his intelligence and experience? One or the other will always determine his manner.
To be smug is to be perfectly content with oneself, and so one no longer endeavors, no longer experiences. You can be smug about your experience, yes, but once you are, you will not seek further experience.

Nanonymous No.16661 [D] >>16663
>>16658
>implying "the problem" refers to normal people staying
Also I'm just curious, what type of person would you consider extraordinary. Experience can be gained by anyone which would make everyone extraordinary and everyone can't be extraordinary by definition. A point can be made that not everyone is willing to put in the effort but it all boils down to random chance or "free will" if you are religious. So how is that different than intelligence which is also acquired through random chance?

Nanonymous No.16662 [D] >>16663
>>16660
>implying smugness and therefore content is constant
Wouldn't you slowly loose it and start wanting to gain more experience to feel smug again?

there are like 5 real people and dozens of bots written in perl. you are mostly seeing posts from a script written in 1999. it just grabs responses it has learned from 4chan and recycles them, occasionally throwing in a few trendy words / memes.

Personality? Thoughts? experience and intelligence do not dictate everything I think and do, and to say otherwise is greatly reducing what a person is.
>You can be smug about your experience, yes, but once you are, you will not seek further experience.
I can be smug and still want to experience things. Again, they are not mutually exclusive. I am very smug, but that does not mean I think I am the best at everything and have nothing else to learn. Smugness may give way to contentness, but they are not the same thing.

>Personality? Thoughts? experience and intelligence do not dictate everything
Not that nanon, but there is an argument to be made that our personality and thoughts are shaped by our experiences. Our thoughts definitely are heavily influenced--perhaps even entirely--by our experiences, though our personality is a bit more iffy. It's basically this whole thing, but I'm not psychologist so who knows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_versus_nurture
Psychology gives some interesting yet wishy-washy 'this-is-probably-the-case-based-on-statistics-but-we're-not-sure' kind of answers to these sorts of questions, and I'm not really sure whether to trust it or not.

Why don't you try to share the information you collect with others? That should make it less miserable for you.
Also you should make archives of the information, categorize it, making outlines of it, you could be really useful to others and find meanign through what you consider a problem now. Gambatte nanon-kun.
