@CristusVictor I think if you view looksmaxxers as art projects instead of role models it redeems them a little, because they interact with the culture we live in and exaggerate it in an art type of way

While this is resourceful, the looksmaxxing trend is objectively homosexual. I have always had deep convictions about health and aesthetics, but real beauty is not merely surface. It’s emergent. The artist starts with a vision, but the masterpiece is realized through painstaking work. Contained in the masterpiece is the marks of his process. We live in a world surrounded by ugliness. Ugly homes, ugly people, ugly public spaces, ugly stores, ugly everything. In my home we work together to surround ourselves with beauty. It doesn’t even have to be all that expensive. Same with wardrobe and personal presentation. There is a process and effort put into it that cannot be replicated by mass-manufactured goods or merely throwing money at it. Plenty of wealthy people have terrible taste. The aesthetic beauty of a man is not merely in looking good or presenting himself stylishly, but in the work and the internal effort and endurance of body, spirit, and mind coupled with an intentional dignity. The beauty is derivative. This extraction and compartmentalization of “looks” without regard for the substance is superficial, and therefore homosexual. I do not call it homosexual because it concerns itself with beauty. Being concerned with beauty, and cultivating and protecting it, is perhaps the most masculine trait of all.

@davenovella attraction != beauty

move away from hot and cute, we want beautiful

These are related somehow, being able to live with uncertainty and living in real time

@dystopiangf The underappreciated but necessary element to this mission is being *emotionally connected to the moment*, if we're gonna "create" something novel that carries beauty it has to be rooted in experience and life, both traditionalism and futurism miss this

Conservatives are largely wrong about aesthetics. We shouldn’t look to the past for beauty. The solution to modern ugliness is not to copy-paste Greek statues or Renaissance oil paintings; this would actually be an expression of defeat and creative infertility, a humiliation, an admission that our imagination has been beaten out of us. We’ve been traumatized by anti-Western left-wing movements to believe that anything new must also be ugly and filthy. The answer to the trauma we’ve suffered is not to be afraid or to regress, but to boldly create something new *and beautiful.* This is right-wing futurism at its core: the conviction that new and beautiful things are possible, and that it’s our primary duty to create them

How do I find out what god wants me to do

Watched this video I found yesterday prbly 10 times I'm fastened to it in a weird way youtube.com/watch?v=eB1J4o…

@AdinUpdate This is good art

Clavicular’s friend, who’s another looksmaxxer, explains he cries all the time because the tears make his hair SOFTER 😭💔 “I take the tears and put it in my hair, it’s like sea salt spray., it makes my hair softer”

Det er noe helt eget deilig ved skogen om morgenen. Luften er kjølig, ren og full av duft av våt mose, kvae og frisk jord. Solen filtreres sakte gjennom tretoppene og legger et gyllent, mykt lys over alt. Å gå der tidlig, mens resten av verden sover, føles som å få skogen helt for seg selv. Tømmerstokken dekket av tykt, glitrende mose, den lille hytta som titter frem mellom stammene, duggperlene som henger på bladene.. alt blir ekstra vakkert i det stille morgenlyset. Ingen støy, bare fuglesang, lette skritt i underlaget og den rolige susen i trærne. Det er fred, det er friskhet, det er ren livsglede. Det finnes få steder som føles så godt som en skog om morgenen 🌲🌿💚

the challenge of the modern world is a lack of aliveness; we're missing a visceral sense of connection to the moment what deepens this challenge is that we keep seeking aliveness in external things (money, relationships, achievement) rather than through the practice of presence

@jq_cat @PoFPodcast What explains the psychological attraction to making cryptic posts? I tend to be drawn towards being enigmatic as well, it feels right, but often doesn't work

@PoFPodcast Btw.. if you want to appease the algo, then you need to understand how recommendation systems work. So instead of relying on cryptic posts, you need to craft(!) posts in a way their models consider it appealing to users to push them up in the x.com/jq_cat/status/…

Can I get a like if you think the existing dominance hierarchy needs a mulligan?

@laisofealdwine Adult but not old male voice a little bit annoyed but calm/measured

I’m guessing if you guys have heard me talk on spaces, you probably have a good idea of my tone when I’m posting. But I am kind of curious, for those who haven’t, what kind of voice you’re reading my posts in…?

@poohthebear0 That's the opposite of dissociating

took the longer route just to walk a little more and dissociate from the world

@Arkoneous Exactly

In a world where so much is fake, give me something real.

@TheAnnaGat This guy instagram.com/aronwiesenfeld/

Who is your favorite new painter that you have discovered? I'm looking to fall in love with new art!

@PoFPodcast @EmilySm43 Interesting, I interpreted it as loneliness

@noonshake @EmilySm43 Programming. I am rewriting the code of X itself.

Be brutally honest 🤔

@StructuredThou1 Same

As this is still making the rounds I want to point out that all my teachers loved me and usually treated me better than the other kids. I still want to see the entire profession heavily reformed and most contemporary school systems abolished.

@PoFPodcast @EmilySm43 POF you're way too intelligent to respond to fake accounts

@EmilySm43 You are a baddie. This is a thirst trap. You are hoping guys never watched Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
