You truly talk like an NPC, where everything in your life is simply what occurs, like you're watching a movie play out and you are just sitting around...
Which 'certain' philosophies are you referring to? Do you not choose how to respond to events? Are you dominated by your self, your emotions? Do you h...
You're severely depressed and are clinging to your depressed beliefs. Hope you can atleast see this in yourself. On a side node, how is Stoicism contr...
The Stoics were closest to the truth, atleast in my view, regarding how one 'shapes one's life'. Life is a duality of actions and reactions. Our actio...
For the OP and anyone else who can relate, here are my 2cents on this matter, after struggling with severe depression and suicidal ideation as well. T...
Yes, given that AI makes people dumber and lazier and that it has disastrous effects on the environment, while also mainly benefitting tech companies ...
Our downfall will be a lack of energy (fossil fuels), which will bring our civilization to a grinding halt rapidly. Not instantenously obviously, but ...
Such a perspective is gaining more traction and it definitely makes sense. Consciousness being God is a theory that is extremely recent but it has som...
Life works for you when you grew up in a safe and stable family, where you were nourished, supported, protected, and loved. Where you had all the tool...
Disagreeing is one thing, but it's more like that I am stating the sky is blue, and you're like 'nu-uh, to me, the sky is green!' Go offer a counterar...
It's not to shun the experience of suffering, but to endure it without letting it consume you. In the second half of 2024, an Ukranian man lost his wi...
You are right that the amout we suffer in life can vary wildly. We all have our stories, our backgrounds, our unique views on the world, and so on. Al...
Time can be complicated. As the other posters here have already shown you, there is a difference between 'subjective' time (your experience of time pa...
Anarchy is one of the biggest threats to the current system, that's why there's endless propaganda in circulation to diminish what it actually is, how...
I appreciate the sentiment and remember that it's never personal. I simply disagree at a fundamental level. Cars have definitely become safer, faster,...
And i'd rather be alive 60 years ago than today, because then atleast I'd be able to afford a good home and raise a family on an average income, and b...
Human progress is a delusion. 10.000+ years of progress and all we have created is pollution, poor health (millions are obese, for example), a system ...
Anarchism is the only way of living that can work, because it respects the inherent mystery and beauty in life, and it doesn't try to dominate or cont...
You are onto something here that an increasing number are beginning to realize. Consciousness is not just some 'brain activity' or anything of that na...
In my experience, the lowest paying jobs were the most soul-draining. Intense micromanagement and a seemingly endless supply of work to do. If you get...
Homo Sapiens have existed for roughly 300,000 years. Our system is roughly 12,000 years old. Seems a bit off. Yes, of course people have to work, almo...
Our system is built on the illusion of pressure, control, and rush. This is everywhere: in academia, at the workplace, in our media, and so on. We are...
Interesting post and well explained. Maybe we, as humans, are simply overcomplicating something very fundamental. Time is inherent to reality, like sp...
You write such thoughtful posts; I really enjoy reading them. And no, not everything is a story/fiction/illusion. There is a natural world, and this m...
Very thoughtful post and I thank you for your insights. I will read the works you mentioned, as I have not heard of them before. Of course man has nat...
What do you mean? And I am not a Peterson follower. I don't follow anyone, I read literature all across the spectum and would align myself most closel...
The human mind seeks answers because it cannot understand the true layer of reality. We think we can understand the world through our sense, for examp...
You raise solid points and don't worry, I didn't feel anything you wrote as a personal attack. Scrutiny is always welcome. You made me reconsider my s...
Thank you for the response. A few things need to be cleared up. First of all, you should always trust your own instinct and accept the consequences of...
I am a free speech absolutist. You should have the inherent right to speak your mind at any time, and any place, without a fear of violence or another...
Fundamentally, nobody knows. Would it even be possible for humanity to reach a level of understanding that makes us understand the 'why' behind creati...
