Eating and shitting is the byproduct of wanting something more? Not reallyYou know all of this but are you advocating for what? To continue it? And to say that I am the cause of my own pain because I expect something greater? No, eating and shitting and consuming is merely a byproduct of the human desire to have MORE. Would you say the end goal is to eat and shit and sleep? No. That’s just things we end up DOING to continue this path of suffering. Because even in fulfilling all these desires of eating and sleeping and shitting, I am still existentially miserable, which makes me feel as if there IS SOMETHING that the eating and shitting is supposed to be used TOWARDS.
Almost as if there is supposed to be a god, or a meaning, but I know there is not.
And to say this life will end soon, why end it now, is essentially to say “there is some reason to stick around” which you im sure have already thought about. You MUST have some sort of cope which is why you are so effortlessly able to see the things I am seeing but still tell me that I am at fault for feeling the way I do, and that there’s a reason to live.
You seem self aware, so what is this cope?
I'm not advocating for anything. If anything, what i said reaffirms what you're heading towards. What do YOU want to do about it? Kill yourself or choose to wake up tomorrow? Personally I think even if quite shit, the human experience has to be statistically rare and is worth living, hence why I advocate to continue it. I'm not anti natalist
I never said the goal of life was carnal desires. Those are just impetuses to fulfill the ultimate evolutionary goal which is survival/reproductionWould you say the end goal is to eat and shit and sleep? No. That’s just things we end up DOING to continue this path of suffering [\quote]
Yeah lol I know it feels there has to be something more, something more profound and purposeful but there isn't. Just because you're not fulfilled doing basic human mundane activities doesn't mean there is something more. You weren't designed to get a heroin tier rush after performing normal everyday tasks. Human ancestors had a better grasp of purpose because it was harder to accomplish basic human things like raising children and foraging food and finding shelter. The present lifestyle leaves people feeling empty because they experienced the full scope of gratification your brain rewards you with. People just don't want to admit that gratification is really rhe only "purpose" they seek and just call it muh hedonism even though every retarded bullshit disciplinary hardship they put themselves through like working more hours or working out or eating better or etc etc all eventually lead to higher access of food + bitches + shelterBecause even in fulfilling all these desires of eating and sleeping and shitting, I am still existentially miserable, which makes me feel as if there IS SOMETHING that the eating and shitting is supposed to be used TOWARDS.
I already touched on this, it's called hyperactive agency detection and its in all mammals, just very pronounced in humans. It doesn't mean there is actually a causative agency like God, as you said it just feels like it
I do believe it's worth sticking around until natural death because sentience is a unique experience. Suicide is fine if like is unbearably difficult for a person but I don't really think that's the case for you, you're just a 20 yo guy that realized how shit it is to become a member of the rat race. But even rotting at home doing nothing and not working will also make you feel depressed, so it's more than just shitty working conditions
I'm not telling you that you're at fault for feeling anything, just that you shouldn't be confused why you have no purpose, because you really don't. I think it's worth sticking around to eat more food and fuck more girls. You will always feel hungry and horny again
I don't understand how it makes sense to kill yourself because you don't have a purpose unless your life is painful/hard
