    25 KB Hedonism 40K: How to be a Slaaneshi Cultist Anonymous 05/18/09(Mon)22:50 No.4591379  
    Four days ago a thread was posted by an anon curious as to how to become a Slaaneshi Cultist. It was failure through and through. Then at the end of its brief, dull, boring life, there came an anon who had seen the light of chaos, and the virtue of indulgence. These are his posts. I said I would post today in hopes of the anon coming back and posting more, but it would be sensible that he would choose not to if he did not feel like it. Perhaps other anons could post their own ideas for the record.

    'Ere we go.

    Okay, you need to realize a couple of things, first.
    Facts:
    1. Hedonism is expensive.
    2. Hedonism is socially unacceptable by modern society.
    3. Hedonism will often lead to illegal acts.

    Lets go into a bit more detail, now. Fact 1 means you will need money to live a life glorifying Slaanesh. Fact 2 will mean it will often be hard to find a well paying job, while enjoying your hedonistic lifestyle.
    But that's okay! I mean, really, who wants to grind away at a 9 to 5 job for years, anyway? Jobs are not very much fun, and thus, not worth the time in your new life.
    Instead, seek refuge in Fact 3. Most of the really fun drugs are illegal. So, obiviously you are going to be breaking the law anyway. Just forget about the rest of the laws, and run with it.
    So, illegally, there are whole new, enjoyable, ways of making money. For starters, you can sell drugs. Pot is easy to grow, and a great way to get into the business. Stay away from Meth production. It's far more risky. You are more likely to get caught, more likely to get blown up, and more likely to die from poisonous vapors.
    Of course, drug trade isn't your only potential source of income.
    There is of course the skin trade. Prostitution is is the oldest profession for a good reason, it's profitable. And for a follower of Slaanesh, it should be fun and interesting, too! But if you want to rake in the real dough on the skin trade, you should pimp.

    There are two ways to get control over people to the degree you can whore them out, and take all the profits. The quick and easier, if more dangerous and less profitable is the drug addiction method. Be a supplier of a highly addictive drug, get some desperate people well and truly hooked, and whore them out for mass profits, while keeping an iron grip on their drug rations.
    Then there is the more profitable method, and the method that in general provides more satisfaction. Slaves. Get a couple of extra slaves and whore them out. Best to use non english speakers here. And do make sure you have completely broken their spirit. If they shank a john and end up picked up by the cops, you're screwed. I'll go more into slave acquisition and training when I reach the chapter on sexual hedonism.
    There are other methods of fund raising. A quick one is to pretend to be a prostitute online over a site like Craig's List, and when someone agrees to meet you, mug them for the cash and run. You set a couple of encounters like that up, and you can make a mint in a single night's work. You may ask while go through the bother of pretending to be a whore, opposed to just going out and mugging people. The advantage is that these days, most people use debit cards instead of cash. This way you guaranty a decent amount of cash on you're victim's person.

    There are of course other ways to earn the money for your life of pure excess. Those are just some ideas to get your started.

    Now, lets talk hedonism in regards to your clothing. There are two things to keep in mind when it comes to your new Slaaneshi wardrobe: Does it look good? And does it feel good?
    And those are your only two criteria. Ignore gender roles, ignore fashion styles of the season, ignore price or brands.
    I'm just going to through out some suggestions here, because youre taste are different then mine, and what looks good and feels good to me, might not to you. And vice versa.
    But to give you some idea, lets talk underwear. More then likely you wear some. I've met few guys the go commando and less women. If you are, however, a commando type, fine, just apply these guidlines to the rest of your clothing.
    Step one, try multiple different types of your given garment. In the case of underwear, try out boxers, briefs, panties, thongs, boyshorts, bikini briefs, and any other kind you find. Find what looks good to you and what feels good to you.
    Step two, material. Try your garment of as many different materials as possible. For undergarments this can be cotton, polyester, silk, leather, latex, vinyl, plus any I've missed.
    Once you have a favorite, move outwards. Things get more complex after this in the different styles of clothing out there, but find what you like. Don't be afraid of trying something that society says is obscene or perverse, but if you aren't comfortable in something, don't wear it.
    Remember this though, for many rituals of Slaanesh, one must expose or keep exposed the right side of their chest. You may need to modify your clothing to match this. Cutting swathes out shirts or dresses and removing the right cup from your bras.

    Now a quick word on food.
    Try everything. Every weird food out there, give it a try. Make lists of restaurants with unusual dishes. Try them out. But do go the route of most expensive fanciest food everytime. Try it, find out it you like it. If you like it eat more of it, if you don't never touch it again. But either way keep trying new things.
    Don't restrict yourself to diets for anyreason. If you're hungry eat. If you crave a certain food, eat it. Food is you're way of pleasuring your sense of taste. Indulge in it.

    Thank you.

    Now for the one of the Big Three of Slaanesh.
    Drugs!
    Do some. Do lots. Go crazy with trying new ones. But a couple of quick tips.
    Use different dealers. Don't stick to a dealer more then a few time in a row. This will help because every new dealer you go to will give your the cream of the crop for the first couple of hits, but after that they start to give you crap, and figure you are too addicted to complain.
    This will also help if a dealer gets busted or killed, you still have options are aren't left short on supplies when you have a major revel coming up.
    Another very important issue is to know drugs individually, before you start combining them. This will really give you an appreciation for the wonderful variations one get when you start to mix.
    And always be careful about the newest thing on the streets. If a new drug comes out, get someone else to take it first. Preferably someone mostly expendable. You should always know what a drug is supposed to do to you, before you take it. Trust me on this. Bad trips result from unknown drugs. Of course a bad trip is an experience one should have in your life anyway, so perhaps this isn't the worse thing.

    Second of the big three.
    Rock!
    You have music you like. Everyone has music they like. Well, take that shit you like, and turn it up to fucking Eleven!
    I'm serious. Play more music, and play it louder. You have that special song that you absolutely love and can't help but sing along to at the top of your lungs. Well, play the fucking song and play it fucking loud. Find other songs you long, songs that rips the emotions from your heart and blare them across the world. Find them! Play them! And rock the fuck out!

    These articles are getting shorter. Mostly because I'm tired and should have fucking slept 8 hours ago.

    Okay! Best for last!
    Sex!

    Go have some! Right now, if you can manage it. I don't care if you think yourself straight, or gay, or bi. Go fuck something right now! No, not your hand. Something a bit more intersting then that. You should fuck something every day, atleast. I don't care if you fuck your spouse, or boyfriend or girlfreind. I don't care if it's male or female. I don't care if you fuck your sibling or parent. I don't care if you fuck your neighbor or damned dog. I don't care, and neither should you. You should just fuck it. Once you've establish regular sex, start to mix it up.
    Listen, there are more fetishes out their then I can list and almost as many sexual positions. I highly recommend you fuck multiple genders and age categories. Go to swingers parties. If you are a single male and can't find a female to go with you, don't worry. There is a trick to getting in to those oh so exclusive sex parties that's worked since the dawn of the swinging scene. Prostitutes. Pay a hooker to accompany you. Most people will be able to tell, but they won't say anything. A prostitute used in such a matter is known as a Golden Ticket.
    Now you've started to have regular sex and with multiple different people, it's start to really get down to business. Go to a BDSM munch. Get to know the people, join the club. Go to the conventions and the shows. Start doing weird sexual acts that you've never heard of before. Say yes to every offer. Volunteer for any scene. Be a kinky slut, and love it.
    You won't get bored of sex. But you might get frustrated with lack of willing victims... I mean partners. But there is a way around that.

    Fuck it. I was writing a whole bit on catching, keeping, and training sex slaves, but I'm fucking tired. If this thread is still alive when I get up, then I might post more. I'ts 2 in the afternoon here and I'm fucking tired.I've been up for 30+ hours, and it's time for some sleep.
    Oh! Sleep for the hedonist! Sleep in! When ever you want. Fuck a regular schedule of sleeping 8 hours for every 16 awake. Stay wake as long as you want, and sleep when tired for all long as you want. I woke yesterday morning, am just getting tired, and probably won't wake up to till the tomorrow.
    Anyway, good night my fellow Slaaneshi hedonists.

    You know, your encouragement has convinced me to go on a bit more.

    Just some quick notes on slavery for fun and profit.
    Get them young and break them quickly.
    Wear a hood or mask during both training and use. It dehumanizes in their eyes, and helps if they ever get questioned by authorities.
    Decided if your home has room for a slave. You need a room with only one door and no windows. Inside this room, you need a cage for your slave. Rarely take your slave out of this room.
    When you do take it out, blindfold it. If you're slave is to be a party favor for a revel, blindfold, hogtie, and gag it. Use a ring gag if you still need to use the mouth. Don't use real names in front of a slave.

    I could go on, but this is supposed to be how to be a disciple of Slaanesh, not a professional slaver.

    Sup, here's some related copypasta from /d/ on the subject of slavery

    Step One: Induce learned helplessness

    Your goal is to essentially teach the person that they have no control and get them to accept it. This will take some time to accomplish.

    Begin by stripping and shaving the victim. The shaving may seem a bit odd, but it reinforces your control over them and reduces their perceived individuality. There's a reason the military shaves recruits when they go to boot camp, after all. Once "prepped" tie them up to restrict movement as much as possible and gag them to inhibit speech, then put them in a small isolated room. This room should contain as little decoration as possible, with the exception of a mirror placed directly in front of the subject so that they may gaze upon their own helplessness.

    Now, even with the restrictions to movement and speech, the individual may attempt to communicate in some fashion or another - most likely when their gag is removed during feeding. It is important that their actions go unacknowledged.

    Given these circumstances, the individual will be highly distressed, and, during feeding, may refuse to eat. Should this occur, simply regag them and leave the room as though nothing had happened. The next time you go in to feed the subject, instead bring in a feeding tube and use some good old fashioned gavage. A few days later you may attempt to resume the normal feeding routine.

    During their confinement, you should also come in to either flog or bring the subject to orgasm. This, as with the other actions, reinforces the notion that their life is now entirely dependent upon your whims.

    This phase should take between one and three weeks, but do not be afraid to take longer if they are being especially stubborn.

    >>4592027

    A note to the above, you should take some care to inspect them (preferably when the subject is unconscious) to ensure the limbs are receiving proper circulation and to prevent sores from developing.

    Step Two: Begin re-socialization

    Now that you've essentially broken down everything that made them who they were, you now come to the task of rebuilding the subject.

    You can begin by unbinding the subject and carrying (carried, because they'll be incapable of walking after remaining bound and stationary for such a prolonged period of time) them to a room in which they shall be bathed and otherwise groomed.

    Along the way, speak to the individual. Refer to them as your pet/slave. While before, they would have hated to be talked to in such a manner, they will now be grateful for ANY attention.

    Once cleaned up, take the pet to their new room. This one should be noticeably different from the first cell, while remaining relatively spartan in appearance.

    The bathing, the speech, and new room all help to show the pet that this is a new phase of their development. It will also discourage bad behavior as doing so would risk being sent back to phase one.
    >> Anonymous 05/18/09(Mon)23:50 No.4592042
    >>4592034

    Phase three: Further re-socialization and task training

    Once you've got the pet firmly grounded in the new environment you may begin the training proper.

    Begin teaching them the various behaviors and tasks you'd like them to exhibit. This can be done using traditional classical conditioning methods. Offer rewards when the subject is good and harsh punishments when the subject is bad. You will want to guilt trip the pet prior to dolling out more physical punishments and encourage the pet to admit to mistakes by "rewarding" them with less severe punishments should they come forward.

    The subject should be under surveillance as much as possible; however, there should not necessarily be visible cues that you're doing this. If the pet makes a mistake or commits some other transgression, you should, next time you see them, allow an opportunity for the pet to confess (without prompting them). If they confess to their crime and plead forgiveness say that you'll "think about it" and leave the pet on edge for a while before finally deciding not to punish them or punish them in a noticeably less severe manner.
    >> Anonymous 05/18/09(Mon)23:51 No.4592046
    >>4592042

    Part Four: Enjoy

    Due to the extensive conditioning (and standard Stockholm Syndrome), the subject will now be submissive and display the desired behaviors.

    While no further training may be necessary (unless you decide you want the pet to do something new later on), you will need to periodically reinforce less commonly exhibited behaviors.

    Additionally, your pet will come in handy as a role model should you choose to adopt a second one.

    Assault on identity: You are not who you think you are.
    This is a systematic attack on a target's sense of self (also called his identity or ego) and his core belief system. The agent denies everything that makes the target who he is: "You are not a soldier." "You are not a man." "You are not defending freedom." The target is under constant attack for days, weeks or months, to the point that he becomes exhausted, confused and disoriented. In this state, his beliefs seem less solid.

    Guilt: You are bad.
    While the identity crisis is setting in, the agent is simultaneously creating an overwhelming sense of guilt in the target. He repeatedly and mercilessly attacks the subject for any "sin" the target has committed, large or small. He may criticize the target for everything from the "evilness" of his beliefs to the way he eats too slowly. The target begins to feel a general sense of shame, that everything he does is wrong.
    >> Anonymous 05/18/09(Mon)23:57 No.4592094
    >>4592088
    Self-betrayal: Agree with me that you are bad.
    Once the subject is disoriented and drowning in guilt, the agent forces him (either with the threat of physical harm or of continuance of the mental attack) to denounce his family, friends and peers who share the same "wrong" belief system that he holds. This betrayal of his own beliefs and of people he feels a sense of loyalty to increases the shame and loss of identity the target is already experiencing.

    Breaking point: Who am I, where am I and what am I supposed to do?
    With his identity in crisis, experiencing deep shame and having betrayed what he has always believed in, the target may undergo what in the lay community is referred to as a "nervous breakdown." In psychology, "nervous breakdown" is really just a collection of severe symptoms that can indicate any number of psychological disturbances. It may involve uncontrollable sobbing, deep depression and general disorientation. The target may have lost his grip on reality and have the feeling of being completely lost and alone.

    When the target reaches his breaking point, his sense of self is pretty much up for grabs -- he has no clear understanding of who he is or what is happening to him. At this point, the agent sets up the temptation to convert to another belief system that will save the target from his misery.

    ­­Leniency: I can help you.
    With ­the target in a state of crisis, the agent offers some small kindness or reprieve from the abuse. He may offer the target a drink of water, or take a moment to ask the target what he misses about home. In a state of breakdown resulting from an endless psychological attack, the small kindness seems huge, and the target may experience a sense of relief and gratitude completely out of proportion to the offering, as if the agent has saved his life.

    Compulsion to confession: You can help yourself.
    For the first time in the brainwashing process, the target is faced with the contrast between the guilt and pain of identity assault and the sudden relief of leniency. The target may feel a desire to reciprocate the kindness offered to him, and at this point, the agent may present the possibility of confession as a means to relieving guilt and pain.

    Channeling of guilt: This is why you're in pain.
    After weeks or months of assault, confusion, breakdown and moments of leniency, the target's guilt has lost all meaning -- he's not sure what he has done wrong, he just knows he is wrong. This creates something of a blank slate that lets the agent fill in the blanks: He can attach that guilt, that sense of "wrongness," to whatever he wants. The agent attaches the target's guilt to the belief system the agent is trying to replace. The target comes to believe it is his belief system that is the cause of his shame. The contrast between old and new has been established: The old belief system is associated with psychological (and usually physical) agony; and the new belief system is associated with the possibility of escaping that agony.

    Releasing of guilt: It's not me; it's my beliefs.
    The embattled target is relieved to learn there is an external cause of his wrongness, that it is not he himself that is inescapably bad -- this means he can escape his wrongness by escaping the wrong belief system. All he has to do is denounce the people and institutions associated with that belief system, and he won't be in pain anymore. The target has the power to release himself from wrongness by confessing to acts associated with his old belief system.

    With his full confessions, the target has completed his psychological rejection of his former identity. It is now up to the agent to offer the target a new one.

    >>4592105
    ­Progress and harmony: If you want, you can choose good.
    The agent introduces a new belief system as the path to "good." At this stage, the agent stops the abuse, offering the target physical comfort and mental calm in conjunction with the new belief system. The target is made to feel that it is he who must choose between old and new, giving the target the sense that his fate is in his own hands. The target has already denounced his old belief system in response to leniency and to­rment, and making a "conscious choice" in favor of the contrasting belief system helps to further relieve his guilt: If he truly believes, then he really didn't betray anyone. The choice is not a difficult one: The new identity is safe and desirable because it is nothing like the one that led to his breakdown.

    Final confession and rebirth: I choose good.
    Contrasting the agony of the old with the peacefulness of the new, the target chooses the new identity, clinging to it like a life preserver. He rejects his old belief system and pledges allegiance to the new one that is going to make his life better. At this final stage, there are often rituals or ceremonies to induct the converted target into his new community. This stage has been described by some brainwashing victims as a feeling of "rebirth."

    Certain personality traits of the brainwashing targets can determine the effectiveness of the process. People who commonly experience great self doubt, have a weak sense of identity, and show a tendency toward guilt and absolutism (black-and-white thinking) are more likely to be successfully brainwashed, while a strong sense of identity and self-confidence can make a target more resistant to brainwashing. Some accounts show that faith in a higher power can assist a target in mentally detaching from the process. Mental detachment is one of the POW-survival techniques now taught to soldiers as part of their training. It involves the target psychologically removing himself from his actual surroundings through visualization, the constant repetition of a mantra and various other meditative techniques. The military also teaches soldiers about the methods used in brainwashing, because a target's knowledge of the process tends to make it less effective.

    Repaying the Eternal Debt is just as unobtainable, except with that one Final Sacrifice (and afterwards you don't have to worry anymore). With heretical Slaaneshism, you're just bound to fail on the way (by dying from overdose - or on the pyre), as you can never reach the Ultimate Pleasure, if it even exists.

    Pure faith in the Emperor, on the other hand, gives you constant serenity by the simple assurance that you are walking the right path. You do not have to struggle on a constant quest for some next achievement, only to discard it upon attaining it. Better yet, His most enlightened emissaries - the honored preachers and confessors of the One True Ecclesiarchy - shall guide you on that single road towards salvation, without any intermission.

    There is no heaven. There is no sitting by the side of the emperor. There is no resurrection with the coming of the emperor. There is only the laughter of thirsting gods, who will never be too full to accept the newest wave of souls for their consumption. The warp awaits all humans. That is the truth anyone who stares into the warp knows. It is your greatest, deluded hope that the warp has stared back into them before they can tell you what the truth of your ending really is.

    Damn, I thought I would miss this thread. Good to see it still up.
    I like all the new information on slavery. Not much I didn't know already, but it's alot of good material, and the program will work.
    Slave training doesn't really take a huge monetary investment, just an increase in utilities from increased water and food usage, but it is a tremendous investment of time.
    Is it worth it? Yes and no. A personal slave is awesome. And don't anyone tell you otherwise.
    But slave training isn't something I'd want to do full time. It's too close to work.

    Let me make this clear: Not everyone can handle the hedonistic life of excess that I've been preaching. Chaos is all things, covers all paths, encompasses all actions, but hedonism, and specifically Slaaneshi Hedonism, is but one path. Though it may be to me the most glorious of the paths, that it is the path leading to happiness, this does not necessarily ring true with others. Some will follow other paths. Some will walk down to path of hedonism for a while, before turning, and finding a path that suits them better. We can't change that fact, my fellow Slaaneshi Cultists.
    But here is what we can do. We can welcome all who would attempt our path and shower them with welcoming gifts of oral sex and alcohol. (Take from me, nothing can put you at easy faster in a strange place then blowjobs and mead.) So accept those that willingly walk our path, and let those that don't walk away. One day they may turn from their path to ours, and that it a things to celebrate.
    Of course, even if they don't change their mind, well not everyone can be willing. What would those of us with a taste for subjugating the unwilling do if no one ever said no?

    Sup man! Sorry I was late if you were here yesterday afternoon, I did post it around last night though, and /tg/ was kind enough to keep it at page seven until I got up at nine this morning. Can't find my textbook, but I've got some notes of my own from it. Let's see if I can make any sense out of them.

    Here's some notes on cultist creation. It mentions

    Unfreezing, or a loosening of prior beliefs
    Change, abandoning former beliefs
    and
    Refreeze, the solidification of new beliefs.
    I think that was the textbook mentioning
    >>4592074
    In less words and depth. Here's some stuff on making angry people I put in here for some reason- maybe to rile up your new slaves and make them guard dogs, I dunno.

    Aggression Cues: Signals associated with aggression- sensitivity to weapons because of aggression: See weapons effect
    Weapons effect: When weapons are presented people -> Autonomic Nervous System, Sympathetic Response-> Parasympathetic Response.
    That seems to say people get more aggressive, not necessarily hostile though, when weapons are present, due to the Sympathetic Response (fight or flight) kicking in.

    There's some stuff that might be viewed as simple enough but not often thought about I've got in here as well:
    Frustration-> Aggression->Frther Frustration+ no reduction of prvs frustration-> Hostility
    Aversive Stimuli Produce discomfort
    Displeasure-> Heightens aggression

    And some more stuff on Brainwashing
    1) Isolated from others w/same points of view as self
    2) Dependent on captors for satisfaction of needs (breathing, elimination, sustenance, stimulation)
    3) Indoctrinating agent can reward the target for changes in attitude &/or behavior.

    Reading this thread got me thinking, and I've just realized how easy the life of a Nurglite must be. All that papa asks of you is to remove from your life the time-consuming tasks of cleansing oneself and one's surroundings. Instead of going out and spending money on all these foods and sex toys and drugs, I'm going to sit on my cozy pile of trash, training and bettering my immune system by letting anything assail me that wishes to. I don't clean, I don't wash my hands, I don't shower, and this frees up more time for me to relax and do what I want. I will eat the cheapest, most processed food, freeing up more money so I don't have to work as hard. My goals are to free up as much time to myself so that more of my life can be my own. I await death with open arms, because I will have had most of my life to myself, not taken from me by other people.

    I was on in the morning, but in the afternoon I had a Twisted Tea Party to go to. And once the tea party broke up, there was a impromptu rain dance as storms rolled in.
    So I wasn't on the net much yesterday evening.

    I wouldn't recommend the use of slaves as guard dogs. I just wouldn't trust a slave that had enough aggression in it to fight.

    Speaking of dogs, somepeople think it's a great idea to break a slave by treating it like a dog and even go as far as keeping it with a dog. This is supposedly a very bad idea in that your potential slave will draw strength from the dogs and take much much longer to break.
    I don't know if it's true or not, but it sounds reasonable. I can't stand dogs, though. So it's never been a big issue.

    Dark Eldar Haemonculi will sometimes train slaves in torture and then set them free if they see the slave exhibits tendencies of the Dark Eldar mindset; ie enjoy torturing others, no sympathy or mercy for anything, etc.

    So basically if you can emulate a Dark Eldar (and do so completely, to the very core of your being), Haemonculi may let you work for them.

    There is a loaded question. The answer is yes, to both.
    Some people want to be slaves. And if that's what you want, who am I to stop you?
    Don't think just because they ask for slavehood, that it's going to be easier. In general, it will take more to break down someone going into it of their own will. And you must break them, otherwise it's not slavery, just servitude.
    Abduction is has it's own problems, though. Finding a victim, not getting the caught, relocating the victim, isolating...It's not easy. Basic rules follow: Acquire your new slave from out of town or better out of state, and then never return to that town with the slave. Also, don't follow your slave for days looking for the best moment, or hang out around schools or businesses looking for that perfect slave. Find someone that conforms to your standards of beauty, grab then and go. Use a van or truck. Keep them gagged, tied and preferably unconscious during the relocation. And if you get the chance, burn or cut off her fingerprints. They won't completely vanish, but they'll change enough that you can get by a scan if you ever get printed.

    that's an advanced course.

    But, any former emo kid can tell you that there is a thin line between pleasure and pain.

    cutting oneself just to feel the unique sensation of flesh parting and being sliced is...
    well, unique.

    Yes, there is pain, but that can be trained to be pleasurable.
    You start small, making tiny incisions with a razor into the soft pliant flesh of your wrists and thighs.

    Be sure to use a fresh and sharp razor that has been stored in oil to prevent rust, and clean it properly before you begin.

    begin by lightly raking your skin.
    Human skin has 7 layers to it, each one producing its own feeling as you rend them.
    As you get better, you can find a precise level of pressure to cut without drawing blood, and still get a lovely sensation.

    Morality is subjective. Western, modern society and its precious human rights say that everyone has rights to their freedom, individuality and pursuit of happiness.
    Break free of this indoctrinated morality, and you're the only one who dictates who deserves what - as long as your actions remain undiscovered.

    All morals are learned, I came to mine of my own accord and reason. I spent much of my adult life in constant introspection and questioning.
    How am I going to keep one person's freedoms from encroaching upon anothers? Simple, through the most basic of human mechanisms: force. At the point where you start impeding the rights of other humans, you've stopped being an effective social animal and have become instead a rabid dog, rabid dogs are best put down.
    What makes you human? Fundamentally, being a collection of flesh an organs in a humanoid carriage with the capacity for reason and abstract thought. However in my opinion, the capacity to act as a social creature with the understanding that you are in no way better or worse than any other human. The knowledge that as you pursue your own dreams and goals, so to do others pursue their own dreams and goals of equal validity.

    No, I know people discuss concepts like this all the time. I prefer that such discussion is used as knowledge to combat such people, but the fact is that it is often used to exchange techniques, a fact that sickens me to my core.

    I'm going to end this on a note that I don't often play: someday, you're going to see me in a position of power. I swore this long ago and even as I come closer to departing what little youth I had left, I hold to it. I'll do my best to make people like you regret my existence, my very soul is put to that sentiment. Disregard me as you please.

    You've got your own moral ethos. You generally inherit the morality of the soceity that you're raised within.

    In the end, it's completely subjective. People with a more dominant personality ignore the rights of others while those with more submissive personalities ignore their own.

    True, maybe you believe in the only successful form of morality for a social, acceptabe lifestyle in the modern world.
    However, it certainly isn't the only logical one, depending on your position.

    For the purposes of the slave discussion, I used similar techniques on myself.

    I destroyed(or at least heavily damaged) my social mores and conditioning and shame and morals etc etc so that I could recreate them myself.

    I used to be an incredibly shy, moody, immature whiny little prick, but after I hit rock bottom and absolutely hated myself, I rebuilt myself to be a better, in my eyes at least, person.

    See, that's the real trick. Most people aren't going to advertise their preferences.
    Start by joining your BDSM group in town. You're town will have one, it just may be harder to find in a smaller city. The internet is a good place to start.
    Once you find the group, join it, and get a feel for it's members. After a while of regular attendance, you'll start to get a feel for the one that just into bedroom bondage, the lifestylers, and the real hedonist. The last will probably unliked or slightly ostracized from the group. BDSMers have all these rules and if you don't play by them, they don't let you play. The people you are looking for don't play by the rules.
    Be subtle in your inquiries.
    Most people like me aren't part of the BDSM groups. I'm not and never have been. But I've got friends who have friends. And through them I've met a lot of very interesting people. Eventually you'll end up at the right kind of party, and meet the right kind of people. It's all fun and games from then on.

    But what if the wolves were to instead protect the sheep? To help ensure that the sheep lived lives of prosperity and happiness, accepting what the sheep have to offer so that the wolves may survive as well? It is not possible for this to happen within the animal kingdom, but with humanity it is not only possible, it's proven itself to be quite the effective survival strategy.

    then the wolves starve, and the sheep prosper.

    Living in this world requires a little give and take.
    The wolves must eat to survive.
    The wolves must also moderate their eating to ensure mutual survival.
    The wolves must also die, to nourish the grass and feed the sheep.

    We can't all be wolves, and we can't all be sheep.
    We all must feed.

    The wolves you refer to however do not require to feed on the sheep. Humanity is not a simple matter of wolves versus sheep, it's humans and those that consider themselves above humanity. The wolves could simply cease 'feeding' entirely and suffer no ill effects. They could moderate their feeding to not come at cost to others. But instead, they abandon restraint and consider themselves to be the only creatures worthy of being called human, a title they are unwilling to bestow even to other wolves, and that is why I carry nothing short of total disdain for them. I would call it a casual disregard for their beings, but I know all too well that I would love nothing more than to actively end them, thus denying me the right to refer to it as casual.

    You are a sheep.

    You can't possibly know what it means to be a wolf.

    Human advancement comes upon the broken bodies of other humans.
    You stand on the shoulders of those before you to climb ever higher.

    you devour the weak so the strong remain.

    Humans are very much sheep, wolves, and all manners of in-between.

    Your boss at work is a wolf.
    They prey upon you by forcing you to handle work beneath them, so they can focus on more important matters.

    Choosing to be used by another is coercion all the same.

    You did a project your boss took credit for because you wanted to keep your job.
    Sure, you were willing, but you still had the choice to refuse and didn't take it.

    you are a sheep to their wolf.

    No, I am a shepherd. My boss is no wolf, he is a man, as simple as I. I agree to accept monetary compensation to perform tasks to my own comfortable limits. The key here is choice. A true wolf would try to force me to perform these tasks, but it is my nature as a shepherd to put wolves down.

Were he a wolf, and I a sheep, as you so claim, I would have no choice in the matter. Your little 'pets' are not granted a choice, this makes you a wolf and it makes it my duty to see to it that you no longer harm the innocent sheep.

    so without stooping to acts that run the risk of destroying your life(jailtime, overdoses), there is no easy way to be a hedonist just like there is no easy way to follow any other path aside from suicide.

    Can you be considered a hedonist for simply sitting back, relaxing and enjoying being alive between the greuling work hours you perform to continue sustaining yourself?

    By your logic, by keeping a slave, I'd be forcing a human to do something, when by logic no human can force another human to do anything.
    All slaves have the ability to choose death over servitude.
    Even if I force a feeding tube down their throat, they can simply refuse to do anything. Each defiance would be a victory, each moment of my wasted time would be sweet to someone who chose that path.

    You are a slave because even if you DID quit your job, your master society would strip you of your comforts until you bend to its will again.

    It wouldn't be logn before you either stepped back into your role as a slave again.
    Hunger is a great motivator.

    You have no choice, only an illusion.
    Your fabricated choices serve only to keep you content. You tell yourself you can always quit, but you know that you can't. You quit one job and have to find another.

    You need to live, after all.

    Well... Maybe. I dunno how you would place that. My path is that of excess. I live an unrepentent life of pleasure beyond what most consider acceptable.
    But... I'd say enjoying what you have to the fullest, without necessarily seeking out more, is a kind of pleasure of it own.
    I wouldn't label it as hedonism. But that doesn't mean it's not. I don't have all the answers, just the ones on living a life in the same path as mine.

    But once you do that don't you stop being the wolf and become the dog and lose that 'freedom' to follow your instincts.
    But I think that is a moot point because there is not such thing as a 'freeman' so to speak.
    If you are a wolf you're a slave to your desire.
    If dog you be slave to duty and loyalty.
    If sheep you be slave to fear and the need to be part of the whole.
    The only freedom you do have is to choose which master you will serve.

    I'm not one for the hedonist lifestyle, I don't like it, but at the same time, the righteous anon that thinks he is going to rule the world is really fucking annoying. He will also never rule the world. Righteous tyrant anon, you post circular logic on 4chan for hours, and work a 9 to 5 (I think), and you're young. You will not rule the world, or hold a position of power that the majority of the human populace would be directly affected by. You lack the drive, intelligence, and charisma. Not trying to be a dick, but thats just what I'm seeing from my (admittedly limited) observations.

    Look, the majority of people everywhere, regardless of culture, are basically the same. And from the brutal tyrant to the saint to the serial rapist, all in some convulted fashion believe they are justified in their actions. Most mainstream religions believe in an absolute morality; that at the end of the day, or the end of the world, one group of people are right, and the rest are wrong. Humanity in practice though, uses subjective morality. Our cultures (hedonist, democratic, socialist, anarchic, etc) build a morality, and try to force it on others, either through violence or simply outlasting the competition (in the case of the boring ass pascifists). The game we all play is to make our subjective moralities the absolute morality.

    Who is right, who is wrong? We are all organic meatbags, who exist by the most infinitesimal of chances. Imagine all the variables and circumstances and freak chances that have ever come to be in the universe (you can't, by the way, but try), and marvel that the precisely correct combinations and reactions happened to occur on this particular planet, and that life (especially your line) survived and evolved long enough for you to come into this world. That any of us are alive and thinking at all now is in itself a wondrous miracle.

    In the greater scheme of things, according to probability, nothing you do will matter in the end. With a universe that will likely exist yet for billions of years, as it already has, chances are humanity will cease to be, and all of us most certainly will cease to be. Even if we survive to the very end, if there is one, all of us today will certainly be forgotten on a long enough timeline. Righteous tyrant anon's contributions to this world will be countered by hedonist anons tearing down, and so on and so forth. After so many eons of time, each of us as an individual is not even worthy of being called a speck. Humanity, likely, will not even be worthy of that name; it sure as hell isn't now, with our one tiny mote of dirt to call our own, in a sea of motes so vast it is beyond our power to imagine.

    The truth is, as cliche as it sounds, your life and your purpose are what you make of them. There is no greater meaning (if there is, as thinking beings, you are free to reject it), other than the one you create. Hedonism simply is, the same as righteous anon's morality simply is. On a day to day basis, good and evil is applied by each person's measuring stick, and one cannot exist without the other. On the timeline of the universe, even God's measuring stick (if there is a God, or plural) is likely inconsequential. So do what you will. Hedonists deem that without a greater meaning, they will spend their time doing whatever they please. Righteous tyrant anon deems that without a greater meaning, he will try to give everyone his greater meaning (good fucking luck). What will I do? Unimportant, other than I believe it will be the right thing for my little mote of time.

    The purpose of this long ass fucking post? To wish you all luck with your motes of time, and the game of morality, if you wish to play it.

    And to say righteous anon is far more fucking annoying than hedonist anon.

    Cool fact of the day; humans (without any outside help, i.e. tools) are only capable of comprehending up to about 1000 of anything; after that all we can do is guess, and often poorly. An example would be a crowd of people with one human observer using only his eyes; after the crowd grew over 1000 strong, the observer would begin losing his ability to accurately guess the size of the crowd. You can try it yourself now; you know of a billion, but you dont know what it is. Try to imagine a billion dots, how many do you see? Now try a million, or a trillion. Can you (honestly) notice any difference? All you see are a sea of dots. Think about a perfectly clear night with no light pollution, and you are looking at the stars. How many do you think there are? To those of us who spent childhoods in the countryside, most of us can probably remember thinking there must be millions. In truth, there about 4500-6000 stars visible from Earth. And you can only see about 1500 of them at any given time, granted perfect conditions.

    Hows that for a thread derail.
