Introduction Thread

[Kasarix]

Hello! I've been observing this forum/sphere for a while now (I guest-posted about potential ties of rave-EDM music with trannyism in the tranny aesthetic thread,) and I made this account in the hopes that I might be able to provide something of use.

For the past few years I've been on a sort of "quest" to find "insight" or "wisdom" across the internet, really just anything that serves of any practical or spiritual use in life; I've deemed most of the internet quite barren in this regard, having come from a plethora of different communities and witnessing the shallow substance of their ideas, produce, etc. The people here however are earnest in their desire to make worthwhile posts, or at least are very learned on the subjects they speak on, which I much respect.

I don't know how active I'll be, mostly because my interests lie almost entirely in the theological field. But I do share similar interests, particularly with internet anthropology which fascinates me. I'll try my best to provide some value with my writings, lest I fall into a chasm of my own vapid and hollow ravings.

Hello friends.

Was recommended to this forum by a pedophile on twitter and thought to investigate. I've read half the threads on this site before actually making an account. Plz be kind to me

Hi lindy bros and cindy ones as myself from frog twt. I was familiarized with some users who read Nietzsche and Evola around here and I lurked some threads about it so I decided to join this forum for literature reasons. I won’t be much active anyway but good to see that amarna grew a bit

Hello and welcome. Hope you enjoy the forum.

Hello Armana,

I come to you from 4chan's /v/. An interesting thread from a day or two ago seems to have been a repost of the contents of an old Armana thread regarding Norwoods in gaming.
I found the posts interesting, have spent a little time perusing the Armana archive, and now I am here.

I consider myself an artist. One of my primary interests in life is aesthetics.
I find the aesthetics and philosophies of this forum mostly to my liking.

While I considermyself very intelligent, I am not particularly well read, nor do I see a need to be, at least regarding several of the big names thrown around here (BAP, Nietzsche, Evola, etc.).
I believe I have ideas the members of this forum may enjoy, and am able to contribute with high quality posts.
I am sympathetic to much of the sentiments I have read both here and on the archive.

Given the political slant of the forum, the security issues regarding email addresses outlined in the "General > Forum Announcements > Technical Issues" post, and having an impulse to "test the waters" first, I am still deciding whether to create an account or remain as a guest.


But I wanted to say Hi, to let you know a knew sol is lurking here.

Welcome Guest. Feel free to read and post as much as you want. Very happy to have anybody who's interested. We love video games here but cover just about everything. Please, anything on your mind, feel free to post.

And as for an account, you can guest-post indefinitely if you'd like, but names and pictures are nice. If you want to use a one-off throwaway email to sign up that's fine. No pressure either way. Hope you get some enjoyment out of this place.

@anthony

Thanks anthony. I've frankly already found this place quite a breath of fresh air.
I may make a throwaway email when I have the time.

Btw, what is the format for quoting?

I have a few ideas gestating for potential posts . For fun I'll list a few
- Star Wars (1977) as an idealistic film, marred by its sequels (Empire, Return, not just the "Sequel Trilogy"), and partially redeemed by the prequels
- Cruelty Squad and its dev, Ville Callio
- Kubrick/Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence "what Kubrick was trying to say(?)" + the Ridley Scott/Aaron Guzikowski show Raised By Wolves + Bladerunner as gnostic and life affirming and its relation to the underrated Ridley Scott Alien sequels - (I have a handful of ideas about these that could piggy back off the already existing thread about Prometheus, or may be separated and stand on their own)
- a possibly unusual or understated perspective on the potential origins or ground zero of the rise of modern transgenderism in 1970's British industrial music/the transgender movement as "tender eugenics"/potentially interesting ways to manipulate the transgender movement
- Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack as a movie that should and probably will be remembered as an all time classic, and "the only thing Char Aznable did wrong was disappear from my life" + thoughts about writer/director Yoshiyuki Tomino
- optimist fiction, where it went, and how to find it now
- how to willingly be extremely autistic and make it work for you to the point of altering reality

and other "very intelligent" topics
in all seriousness I could write about these and other interests of mine, but I'd want to make sure I'm contributing some timeless high quality posts
so if any of these are interesting it may take a few days

To quote someone you hit reply next to their post. To quote multiple people you tag "quote" next to everyone you want then hit "reply" on the last one. You can then edit them while writing your own post. Can also just create quote boxes yourself while writing your post using one of the buttons above. Hope that's what you were after.

And people would be into any of those subjects. We have Gundam fans here, Star Wars, Kubrick, it's all good. If you want to make more than occasional posts I'd recommend an account just so people don't get confused.

Hello Armana,

I found this forum through that same /v/ Norwood thread, and I share many of the sentiments in his post. I've been making my own observations since I signed up, and the sheer amount of high quality, well-reasoned discussions is impressive. I haven't seen a single thread that wasn't, at least, interesting enough to make me think for fifteen minutes... I understand what men used to say about "diversity of thought" now.
(Please do not inform me of any uninteresting Amarna threads. I would pull my eyes out to remain blind.)

I'm not too familiar with the forum format — at most I've used forums for tabletop and video game related matters — but since I'm not an idiot I doubt I'll any issue adapting. A lot of topics vaguely echo things I've said or thought myself before.

I'll give myself a written introduction too:
My ideals are luxury, and laziness. I desire a world which all-powerful, platonically beautiful boys can treat like a game. Blind rushing-in, just doing what they want to do. Every most wonderful thing happened this way. Every great conqueror, all he ever wanted to know was *just* how far he could get.
I think the Illuminati actually existing according to the conspiracy theories is the most based idea imaginable. Near demigods — the living results of a millennia-long project — playfully enacting their whims and through it batting the World in every direction like a ball of yarn. I remember, when I was very young, looking up how to join the Illuminati.
If only the Elite had beautiful and all-consuming Egos and Vices, instead of being ugly old man content wallowing with gay humiliation rituals, human rights, and wife-swapping. And if only I could be Elite...

Also, I feel blind, but how or where do I see the archive? I get the feeling there's a massive thread full of screenshots right infront of me that I somehow keep dodging.
Adding on that I'd be into any of those threads the other Anon mentioned wanting to make. The one about Cruelty Squad and the last three points especially. What do you mean when you say optimist fiction?

Welcome. Happy to have you and glad to hear you're having a good time. 

The archive is here by the way: https://archive.amarna-forum.net/amarna/

It's not everything, but a decent amount of stuff that was saved before the first incarnation of this forum was deleted from above.

@Chud @Starn

Haha, HS is comorbid with autism enough that I was curious if I'd get any hits here. Good to know the horrifically spergy On Homestuck effortpost I intend to write someday could get up to two readers. 

Anyway, hello everyone, glad to be here.

[PIGSAW]

Homestuck was one of the most (if not most) significant cultural forces of the 2010's. It's impact now is highly understated as the fanbase has entirely dissolved (no one cares about Psycholonials, but they should, not for the reasons you think).

I would be very interested in longform discussion of Hussie and his role in contemporary e-society.

[The_Author]

Hello Caspar David Friedrich, very German. Georges Sorel is not worth reading in my opinion. It is basically just rambling, a guy who is talking just to talk. Nothing you haven't already thought of yourself.

What are the correct reasons to? Homestuck is obviously one of the eldritch beings that spawned internet culture, but I'm not sure why anyone would care about Psycholonials.

Hello!

I found this forum via chadnet and I am impressed with the number of intelligent people congregating here. Hopefully this will stay this way for a long time. 

I am currently interested in the following (connected) topics:

• Biology/Psychology/Evolution:
  Inspired by the work of Ray Peat, which I have studied for quite a few years now, I am interested in what the human potential might be, both within one lifetime, as well as intergenerational. While accepting heritability as a basis, I want to understand how we can shape our environment to accelerate and guide our evolution.
  What change will it make if environmental CO2 increases 10-fold?
  How does thought influence physiology (psychosomatics)?
  What is the real relationship between conscious thought and feelings/instinct?
• The state, development and future of our civilization/culture
  Having made similar observations about the current, deplorable state and development of our civilization/culture as many of you, I ask myself what the trajectory will look like, and whether there will be opportunities for some kind of revolution in our lifetime and what that might look like.

Apart from this, I consider myself a man of both thought and action alike. This means I don't like continual, aimless intellectualizing just for the sake of it, although it can be fun and a good exercise from time to time. In the end though, I want to further develop and hone my worldview in order to be able to see further than others, so I can maybe make a difference at some point in the future.

Hello, welcome to the forum.

I've never properly looked at chadnet, but if it's another chance for people to be directed here then I suppose that's cool. Hope you find some stuff here that interests you.
