Why shouldn't I be a superfluous man? Why should I care about any of you? Here is the definition.
>refers to an individual, perhaps talented and capable, who does not fit into social norms. In most cases, this person is born into wealth and privilege. Typical characteristics are disregard for social values, cynicism, and existential boredom; typical behaviors are gambling, drinking, romantic intrigues, and duels. He is often unmindful, indifferent or unempathetic with society's issues and can carelessly distress others with his actions, despite his position of power. He will often use his power for his own comfort and security and will have very little interest in being charitable or using it for the greater good.
>The superfluous man will often attempt to manipulate, control or enslave other individuals, even if it goes against their victims' best interests. Because he has no integrity, he is often self-serving and sees little point to being a benefactor or helping others in society.
the last part strays into psychopathy, its one thing to be an anti-social hedonistic dandy its another thing to be entirely exploitative and untrustworthy
i agree with the behaviors in the first paragraph, there is no point in investing, if I had lots of passive income I would do nothing but go to the casino, drink, romance floozies and smoke all day.

>he wants to be a literal dandy in 2018 Super faggot fedora shit.

>the last part strays into psychopathy Exploiting the exploitable without moral weakness is a sign of a healthy disposition, not psychopathy.

Why shouldn't you? If you actually want to be such a person why did you first have to stop and come and ask the literature board on Veeky Forums? seems quite odd to be honest.

Fuck off back to /pol/, or better yet go drink a pint of Drano.

This already applies to me, except I'm not talented, aristocratic, or successful in my endeavours. I can't be any other way. I'm a brain broken millennial who was spoiled by upper middle class parents who forgot to teach me regard for anything. Now I'm a self serving parasite with substance abuse problems and little to no empathy for anyone else.

I'm not /pol/. They don't like superfluous men.

If you want to be a self-centered cunt, you can be a self-centered cunt. Just don’t be surprised when no one likes you and you end up posting tfwngf /r9k/ at 2 in the morning

Autism, the thread.
You aren't special. Get used to it.

You need to find God, you loser
Nolan Reyes
You mean I have to prostrate myself in front of YOUR God (aka you). No thanks.
its distasteful, I don't even feel a moral compunction to defend the weak, I just don't see the need to be a beast. Its not appealing to me, and part of what makes us the apex predator is choosing our prey wisely. You are posturing. the rest of the OP is sensible and if I had the money all I would do is eat, drink, fuck and get extremely high until I died
Nathaniel Jackson
>part of what makes us the apex predator is choosing our prey wisely. But we are still predators, and a good predator exploits without morality getting in the way of it.

Literally wrong lol
Colton Butler
>gives humans the moral compass of animals Is there a word for this?
Jonathan Kelly
why do retards like to pretend that humans live in nature only rather than nature + history (and predominantly history for civilized races)? our prey are ideas
Parker Adams
>To live alone one must be either a beast or a god, says Aristotle. Leaving out the third case: one must be both - a philosopher. i.e. not all humans are equal. The need to be humanitarian is proportionate to the degree of your mediocrity.

our prey are other people and ideas and systems of thought. We are constantly at war with one another, even withint groups, sons and fathers (freud), brothers (Greco-Roman wisdom), neighbors (capitalist status signaling), friends (every single romantic tragedy) are all competing constantly. We are simultaneously subject to socio-biological pressures other animals aren't which allows for emergent phenomena like remarkable sympathy, restraint and cooperation but we are not actually bound by these and higher fitness or just more vigorous specimens can easily subjugate these tendencies to their will or go around them at no cost. This is what I approve of, Nietzsche talks about theives deserving to be set free for daring, and dignity. I think there is a small degree of truth in this. Those who are higher types have a right to circumvent certain norms but if this is excessive, if it destroys them and leaves a trail of nothing but destruction, they're poisonous and deserve what's coming to them. Exploiting anyone who you can get away with is disgusting behavior, its unmastered, doing it when it suits you and when its necessary to get an advantage is a sign of a healthy sense of Self. Christians and Humanists are disgusting because they lie to people's faces about their intentions or they genuinely believe their irrational group-pack mentality which is often totally self serving and unbelievably cruel, often many times crueler than lone egoists, is some kind of blessing for humanity. An honest thief with a vague code of conduct is much preferable to a disgusting preacher or police officer or judge who is always exploiting people unconsciously or using unfair group behavior to get ahead while preaching social contract, altruism and cooperation. Its just the lowest kind of behavior, truly inhuman, and its arguably what most people think is the best part of being human, ganging up on someone to destroy them for no real good reason, taking their stuff, giving it to the needy who you are just using for group cohesion. That's what most people like about humans and is why most humans are beneath higher types, they have incorrect morals, incorrect understanding of human intent and incorrect range of acceptable thoughts they allow themselves. An imprisoned, bound and gagged self that still steps on people is much uglier than an ennobled, lively, predatory Self that knows when to hold off because it doesn't need to surrender to the most base instincts all the time. Hedonists are fucking disgusting, shitting on themselves, barfing, cumming everywhere
