The most distressing aspect of modern femininity is banal self-worship. In the obsessive quest to “love yourself” you condition yourself to love your personality defects. You should hate yourself, and seek to kill that which you hate about yourself. It’s the only way to survive.

Actually the trick is not to identify the bad parts of yourself AS yourself. Self-loathing is often a barrier against positive change since it causes you to identify urself as "thing that I hate." Better to realize that part is dead weight to be sloughed off, not part of self

It only ceases to be a part of you after you have destroyed it.

This is all v conceptual. There is real danger in excessive self-loathing since it associates ur ego with bad attributes by implication. It's neither about self-love or self-loathing. It's not about SELF at all, that's the hardest part. Impossible to think urself into smaller ego

It's about identifying contexts where you want to succeed, forcing urself into them, and then the parts of you that are deadweight will show themselves to be separate and weighty parts that you will naturally lose as you continue adapting to new context. Being is an action.

I think we are fundamentally arguing the same thing and are now nitpicking semantics and minor details

Possibly yes. I get antsy when people say the solution to malformed self is self-loathing, because if ur sitting in bed hating urself ur still just sitting in bed. The more you use I AM the bigger the ego swells, and in 2018 the ego is already in extreme hypertrophy

You either sit in bed hating yourself until you initiate transformation and adapt, or you waste away or suicide. It’s an evolutionary filter. It’s become so easy to satisfy basic human needs we are actively developing new mechanisms to incentivize agency.

The problem is modern society makes it very easy for the bed ridden individual to continue existing in that state. If anything it encourages it. Perhaps our problem is there are not conditions these individuals exist in that are horrible enough to motivate them to action.
