that's why he was good at advertising he looked the part, he was charming and he had a way with words but he was an absolute shitshow underneath the persona that he put on. nobody likes dick whitman but everybody wanted to be don draper. if he looked like ginsberg he would have never gotten as far as he did.
wow, it's almost as if happiness comes from things like family and community and spirituality, and not just career success and getting girls
crazy idea right
You as a man have not experienced a full life until got fit and healthy, financially stable, loved by a woman, respected by your friends and after achieving all that didn't think to yourself >I'm a worthless fricking Black person
Because he was abused and raped at a young age you stupid moron.

>>is somehow "depressed"
Depressed is a physiological state, not psychological. It's not merely a feeling that you can feel better by telling one to "just be happy bro", imagine someone in a wheelchair, you can't just tell them to "walk it off bro".
There this is entire genre of "feel sorry for this despondent privileged white male" during the 2010s for some reason. Like mad men, walter mitty, scott pilgrim, etc. It's weird and cringe.
>Tall >handsome >rich >charismatic >can get any girl he wants >is somehow "depressed"
?
Reality is actually terrible and the smarter you are the more miserable you will be. Does not matter if your life is better than 99% of the rest of the planet, if you are smart you will still realize how bad things are for everyone and everything.
It really is terrible, and I'd probably come to the same conclusions even if I were rich. Think about it >you're born rich >you could have easily been born poor >you had no choice in this whatsoever
So, a rich person would feel guilt and a poor person would just suffer all their lives over something they didn't choose. It's pretty good.
That is assuming you have the intelligence required to realize any of that. There are very stupid people who are born rich and thus manage to be happy, and there are very smart people who are born poor, who suffer more than even their fellow poorgays who are too stupid to realize how fricked they are. All in all, being stupid and moronic makes you happier, and also makes you into a piece of shit. The kindest people are the most miserable. morons will disagree and say it's the opposite though because they're stupid and don't understand how anything actually works.
You could argue someone is intelligent enough but lacks the emotional response to sympathize with others. Different beasts entirely. Wealthy tech autismos may not give a shit about the common plight, which is why all giant tech companies probably have quantum computers in their basements fighting 4D chess with one another in the shadow realm.
But I'm 110 IQ midwit who never learnt about higher things on his own until lately. Should I be depressed or just melancholic? I'm not kidding here. I read your posts and it makes sense. But I'm just step above being a dumbo. Why aren't I happy?
The concept of midwits is unironically a midwit meme. It doesn't matter whether you have an IQ of 100 or 160, if you get it, you get it, if you don't get it, you don't get it. It's also possible that your life is currently bad in a way which goes beyond the normal abstract realization that reality itself is bad. While life is full of suffering, if you aren't currently being fricked with by the people around you or you are starving of some nutrient or sick or diseased in some way then even a normally happy go lucky moron might have a lapse into seeing things clearly. The breakdown of the human body is one of the most powerful teachers, it's why on average old people are wiser than young people. It has nothing to do with old people having read more books, because most of them haven't, but actually experiencing one's own internal organs and limbs failing them in ways that they never did before, and for which there is no remedy, that is the most astonishing life lesson.
he just like me fr
>handsome
Post face
He’s the definition of handsome. Handsome doesn’t always mean extremely attractive. It’s a masculine male thing
IS THAT A HECKIN COMPLEX CHARACTER? WOW MY BORING ASS SHOW HAS SO MUCH DEPTH
filtered
tpbp
Middlebrow cries out
Basado
he's not handsome
He is extremely handsome. That's why he was cast in a kino with Sarah Gadon.
his entire life was a lie. he could never feel comfortable or at home.
Its called mental illness
Is it true that Don has BPD?
did you not watch the show? he was fricked in the head
that's why he was good at advertising he looked the part, he was charming and he had a way with words but he was an absolute shitshow underneath the persona that he put on. nobody likes dick whitman but everybody wanted to be don draper. if he looked like ginsberg he would have never gotten as far as he did.
It's almost like he was written to be metaphor for the entire industry.
Metaphors aren't real.
mad men is a hedonism show disguised as post-modern critique of the 60s
maybe because a post-modern critique of the 60s would be a hedonism show you fricking moron
Being troubled is cool. Being happy and content is uncool.
Cooper was, and he’s one of the most cool and beloved characters
Who cares?
You again!
same with pete at the end of the show
that's the point
wow, it's almost as if happiness comes from things like family and community and spirituality, and not just career success and getting girls
crazy idea right
that's just a theory. it's risky to take that leap, you might end up wasting your time
Can we go one thread without resorting to anti-semitism?

He was abused as a kid
Men can't be raped by women
Because he was abused and raped at a young age you stupid moron.

scott pilgrim is about a total douche that manages to play a role of pathetic nice guy.
movie did a bad job of adapting that
>white pilpul
nah it's a white nerd wish fulfilment fantasy. nothing more. it obviously indulges at scott.
>white nerds want to get with used up roasties who have had like twenty previous boyfriends
Lol, no. It's literally a horror movie.
This real-life gigachad had low self-esteem and depression. I guess his brain was incapable of processing joy.

Because you've no friends or achievements, and you waste all your finite time here.
