If someone is more intelligent than you, why don't they have the right to act that way?
A good person wouldn't, but that's a different story.

The guy in the video is an ass, but that doesn't mean he's less intelligent.
He seems fairly intelligent to me.

You do sound like a young kid trying to find himself.
I can tell you, you're looking in the wrong place.

"You are something, you are important, you do have something to offer to society."
You'll learn that though.

Read my signature on how to approach any knowledge, including self help books.

OP, I get that you're going through an existential phase, even if there is nothing after death that does not mean that the world is not a fantastically beautiful and culturally rich place and that you cannot spend your life exploring it and learning from it, it'll enhance your view of things and make your existence a more enjoyable one and the world an even more curious place to live in.

You should probably get high and watch I Heart Huckabees :rofl:, I feel like you'd dig the existential vibes.



I agree completely on everything you just said.

Nature and everything about it is incredibly beautiful and every single day should be treated like it's your last, there is nothing after this life so yes we should enjoy the ride while were on it.

I Agree.

OP is an idiot.

Knowledge is key.

Books are like... a plastic copy of a key that opens the same doors without having to whittle a metal key with your own teeth.

Knowledge and Intelligence and books are useless if you don't use it.

He's right. That guy (Ben Affleck) will serve french fries and the other guy will think he is a genius and be rich for reading a lot of stuff.

The sage should study the scriptures in her search
for knowledge; but then she should leave them, like the
chaff that is left behind, when the grains
of rice have been winnowed.
--Amrtabindu Upanishad

What are your motives in life ?

What do you deem a useful life?

Everyone has different motives in life but they all end up in the same place in the end.

Everyone has a different definition of what can be considered a 'useful' life.

I do not have any current motivations in life, i am just trying to live right now instead of mentally masturbating about the future.

My life will probably consist of Escorts,drugs,alcohol,junk-food, hell maybe even travel the world at some point. :-D

im not convinced a good portion of the population is ABLE to read.
those few that can , poorly comprehend even comics on a good day.

i suspect what drives the self help,
and, many  other books, is the "poser effect".
simply being seen with a book,
appears to make peeps seem educated and exotic.

no one could possibly suggest,
even .01% of books are read and understood,
if they were, world would be a whole different place.

One day you will find a book that makes you begin to appreciate them.

Experience is more than actions.

Experience is also thought.

I take back deeming you an idiot, you are merely un-experienced.

I do enjoy reading when i have the motivation to read or when there is nothing better to do.

I truly enjoy Chuck Palahniuk books.
