Epicureanism

Epicureanism is a philosophical system founded by the Greek philosopher Epicurus around the 4th century BCE. It teaches that the ultimate goal of life is to achieve pleasure and avoid pain, but not in a hedonistic, reckless sense. Instead, Epicurus argued that true pleasure comes from simple living, moderation, and the cultivation of friendship.

Key principles of Epicureanism include:

  1. Pleasure as the Highest Good: Pleasure, defined as the absence of physical pain (ataraxia) and mental distress (aponia), is the ultimate goal of life. However, this pleasure isn't about indulgence in excess but about attaining tranquility and contentment.
  2. Avoidance of Pain: The avoidance of pain and suffering is central to Epicurean ethics. This includes mental pain, which is often caused by irrational fears or desires, such as the fear of gods or death.
  3. Self-Sufficiency and Simple Living: Epicurus promoted a simple life that minimized unnecessary desires. He argued that many desires (like wealth or power) do not lead to lasting happiness and should be replaced with simpler, more natural pleasures.
  4. Friendship and Community: Epicurus emphasized the importance of friendship, seeing it as one of the greatest sources of happiness. A supportive and harmonious community of like-minded individuals can help people achieve a peaceful, pleasurable life.
  5. Materialism and Atomism: Epicurus adopted a form of atomism, arguing that everything in the universe is made up of atoms and void. He believed that the gods do not intervene in human affairs and that death is merely the end of consciousness, thus eliminating the fear of the afterlife.
In summary, Epicureanism advocates for a life of calm, thoughtful enjoyment, free from anxiety and unnecessary desires, focusing instead on the pleasures of friendship, intellectual pursuits, and simple, natural joys.

I’m more of existentialist

I agree with Nietzsches analysis that life has no inherent meaning and meaning is made through self determination

I also agree with his evaluation that power is the main driving force for human action

I don’t agree with his ethics tho, I believe in kantian ethics

What’s that?
Accelerationism is a range of revolutionary and reactionary ideas in left-wing and right-wing ideologies that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, infrastructure sabotage [citation needed] and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems and create radical social transformations, otherwise referred to as "acceleration". It has been regarded as an ideological spectrum divided into mutually contradictory left-wing and right-wing variants, both of which support the indefinite intensification of capitalism and its structures as well as the conditions for a technological singularity, a hypothetical point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible.

Pleasure leads nowhere, everything becomes boring. That philosophy is bs. Life must not be easy. Life must have achievable challenges, otherwise you're dead alive.
