Sorry man, can’t do it. Won’t try to argue with you but as a fellow self-hating dirtbag, we need you to hang in there with us. Contradictions are going to reach a breaking point soon, I feel it. Don’t you want to see it play out? That’s what keeps me going, that and the fact I know I can help people if things get really bad.
All I’m saying is stick around to watch the fireworks at least, you know? We’re already in the cool zone and from here on out we’re heading into the great unknown. We have the opportunity to witness the collapse of the most powerful empire in human history. That’s got to count for something right?
Believe me, I looked really hard into this stuff at one point. Even the “foolproof” methods like shooting yourself in the head only succeed like 98% of the time, which means 2% just give you major brain damage (e.g. someone hears the gunshot, calls an ambulance, and the doctors keep you in a coma, at which point you will be unable to finish the job)
Please don’t think it’s not worth it. Even if you do nothing from now until your eighties, you’re better than the chud types who victimize people.
Doing nothing else, you’ve made my life better by enriching this community.
I’m going through similar thoughts and feelings more often than I’d like to these days, but one thing that keeps me going is knowing that if we get to see meaningful change in our lifetime, I want to be part of it.
Been reading through the thread and I noticed you mention something along the lines of “multiple versions of you”. I’m interested in this aspect. Would you be willing to discuss this further, as it seems to really mean a lot to you? Feel free to spoiler away and add CW/TW.
You don’t actually continually die. You continually change. Death is when there is a change that actually breaks the continuum.
Even teleportation doesn’t actually kill you, unless that continuum is broken relative to itself which it doesn’t have to.
That’s fucking stupid. To say that a sodium pump in one of my cells trading out a sodium ion for another sodium ion or potassium ion, or anything else is the equivalent of death is fundamentally stupid. To go above that and say that having a cell die and be replaced by a newer cell is tantamount to my death is also stupid. The basic premise of your existential crisis doesn’t make any sense, and even if it did, why not take the path of the man in the comic? Present self has no right to kill future self, nor any reason to do so. Even if you are right, there are a million moments of happiness and contentment that future you can experience, even if they are ultimately fleeting, and even if their existence is ultimately fleeting.
