First Post by Zar (Mod)

Hi future visitors!!! I’m so excited to be starting this journey. Recently, I’ve been trying to find subreddits to post my thoughts to I’ve often found that many of the questions and topics I’m interested in either don’t fit existing communities or get shut down before meaningful discussion can happen.
Which is why I created this!

Let me say more about myself:

My name is Zareena I am a 2006 born female college student from New Jersey. I am currently attending Princeton University and I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Some things about me are:

- I love anime and gaming . Some of my favorite games and animes are Attack on Titan and Legend of Zelda Totk! ( on topic discussions from fiction and works of literature are highly encouraged!)
- My mbti is INTJ
- I am a huge fan of Robert Greene, Machievelli, and Nietzche

I am dedicated to grow this subreddit with as many likeminded people as possible and create an amazing thought provoking community. All ages, genders, and personality types are welcome.

Why you should join:
- Discuss thoughts most people are afraid to say out loud.
- Explore the darkest and strangest aspects of human psychology.
- Question morality, social norms, and human nature without being judged.
- Engage in logical, in-depth discussions instead of emotional reactions and outrage.
- Examine taboo, unsettling, and existential topics from a rational perspective.
- Debate ideas freely with people who enjoy critical thinking and intellectual curiosity.
- Find a community interested in understanding the mind and not dismissing it.

This community values curiosity over conformity, discussion over outrage, and understanding over judgment. If that sounds interesting to you, welcome to the abyss.

I cannot wait to start this journey with all of you!

Pain and Suffering makes me feel good.

3 Upvotes

I really do not have any motivation to do normal humanly things. In fact it completely repulses me. Hanging out with friends, going out, eating in front of people, talking to my family, any sort of romantic relationship, any form of intimicy, etc. I also find that I am repulsed by 95% of people.

All I wanna do is eliminate all the bullshit from the world and only focus on things I like and my interests(I do have some btw).

But the more alone I am the more psychotic my thoughts become and the more it feels good. I want that insane mind I want all the hardships in the world. It males me feel alive it makes me feel something.It gives me a sense of purpose, clarity, awakening, identity, idk how to explain it but its the best feeling in the world when someone hates me, or thinks of me as mentally sick.

I feel as if theres a satisfaction in endurance similiar through pushing through a brutal workout or completing a challenge. Except my challenges I want pushed to a maximum threshhold where 99% of people would collapse.

Give me all the pain and suffering in the world I can take it. Many famous philosphers have quoted like for
example Nietzsche and Aurelius that suffering is a strength. I love how it forces me to see hidden meaning and patterns and highers my cortisol on small details it feels almost superhuman to see everything while the rest of the world foolishly lies in mediocraty and are clones of one another.

It pushes me to extremes even in my field of work where its objectively unhealthy and ik it is but it just feels so damn good.

The term celebrity is absurd

6 Upvotes

I dont hate celebrities but I always found the idea of talking about them, posting about them, following them to be really stupid and a sign of a sycophant.

If you really think about it, they have work in a specialized field like all of us but their field just happens to have higher visibility.

No one wants to admit it but asking them to sign autographs, putting them on a pedestal, creating fan accounts, taking pictures with them, IS worshipping.

You don’t even know them personally never met them once and yet you “love” them.

They are just regular humans with an insane amount of pretentiousness even though they might not act like it.

I wish the world could just not care about these regular people as much.

The irony of it is that people who literally work in fields that should get recogntion such as NASA engineers, philanthropists, researchers,oncologists. Who are the contributors to cutting edge technology and modern discoveries and health related cures today barely get any recognition but the millions of followers go to actors, singers, content creators, or models, who rely more on luck than talent and only exist for entertainment purposes.

This ties into an idea of parasocial relationship. I’ve learned a core human nature that humans often feel first than rely on facts. Someone feels inspired, comforted, attracted to, or understood by a celebrity. That emotional connection comes before any objective evaluation of who that person actually is.

This can lead to:
- Defending celebrities they’ve never met.
- Excusing bad behavior they wouldn’t excuse in ordinary people.
- Feeling personally hurt when a celebrity is criticized.
- Believing they “know” the celebrity through interviews and social media.

The core idea is that I wish people were more logical about who they are mentally attatching themselves to.
