It's mental masturbation because it's fantasizing about being better off. Same way as dudes here mentally masturbate and fantasize about getting lefort 3 and obo.

Cause for most people their self improvement wont lead anywhere, but it keeps them hopeful that someday they'll be better off because of it

Most people here suit the self-destruction route. (Talked about in the video) Not the self-improvement.

It isnt even remotely close to masturbation. Tyler durden is just nuts literally.

Mental masturbation you moronic tool. That shows you never really watched Fight Club or understood it.

You're the fool for thinking i meant fapping.

Mental masturbation is fapping,
Self improvement is sex.

One is necessary for ego other destroys ego.

It means youll have to goon
 
You stop self-improvement and you fall into depression. Evolution is coded in our DNA, you can go against that but you’re just axing your own foot. Life is simple, don’t complicate it with feel-good philosophy stuff.

It's not him telling the narrator his take on what self improvement is, he says it because whenever we see Marla and Tyler having sex in the movie the narrator is working out or reading (self improvement) also Marla like Tyler is a made up character inside the narrators mind, the narrator isn't having sex, he's masturbating to the thought of both his characters doing it

Tyler Durden wasn't real, the protagonist was simply crazy and imagining things and Tyler seemed to be more like a troll trying to mess with the guy...

No offence but I don't think you have the iq to get the movie if that's what you saw.

Philosophy is not for you. Stick with tiktok.

Lol, it's still satire, if you consider it a classic, that's good for you...:feelsokman:

What is satire built on? The absurdity of reality. Humour is funny because it's true. Using satire (Extremes) to emphasise reality is literally an art form. This is philosophy. You think much of this movie doesn't play out in reality in several many ways, then you're a moron.

Which is universally proven in day to day world life.

So pretty accurate if you ask me. For almost most people.
 
Comparing my self to where I was 2 years is a night and difference so self improvement is not cope
