I totally agree with you there. But should we assume that we know a nonexistent person would really want to be born before we bring them into existence???

I already laid out the case why its a philosophical blunder. The comparison and Value Statement youre making is bogus. That is why the dude is HEAVILY outspoken. Because his primary argument is on broken ice. Its sunk.

If you cant understand why this whole Voluntary Extinction junk is flawed, that is on you.

I GET IT, you are unsatisfied with YOUR existence. But frankly Im saddened at the disconnect between your own subjective dissatisfaction and Objective Philosophical thinking.

Your poisonous emotional appraisal of your life is affecting your logic bro. That is demonstrable in the many posts you have written.

But it’s subjective. Remember? We’ve agreed on that. You can’t be too critical of me for how I see things if it’s based on my own emotions and my own experiences…

Its like you understand that comparing nonexistence to reality is a fallacious reasoning exercise BUT THEN YOU GOT CONFUSED ON WHICH SIDE OF THE FENCE YOU SHOULD BE ON. I assure you, youre currently on the OPPS IM WRONG side. And I think it has to do with the current dissatifaction with your life thing… Mid-life crisis 10x or something going on.

I dont know whether to tell you to take a vacation and have some beers or to make an appointment with a doctor for happy pills…
If you are ticking the boxes for being an Alcoholic, based on the way youre drinking, then you need to STOP drinking pronto pal. WORRIED ABOUT YOU!

You have everything to live for! LOL

Dude, you need to do something sporadic and fun. Go somewhere. Buy something. Kill something (not yourself) Fvck something. Blow up something. Set a car on fire maybe.

Take a cruise to Mexico. Do something impure. Do something pure to redeem it.

Anything but the same old will maybe shake you out of this morass.

go ride that flippin TRACTOR in that photo. That tractor gives me a boner everytime I see it. I want to drive that thing around a field tearing sh!t up!!! I want to buy an axe and chop down a god damn tree using only my arms and back muscles and sweat. IM ON TOP! Im ALIVE!

I think it is important to understand that a healthy person who has not had a bad life has a default setting of overall contentment/ satisfaction with life.

So I don’t mind taking that risk bringing people into the world (though I think I will not beget any more now as I am just maxed out on resources, so I will not seek another woman and I doubt the one I still see will bear another child at her age now).

I don’t think it needs any deeper logic than that in the end. Do you give your son a car? He might have a crippling crash but he might have a good life driving to work? Do you buy your daughter a pet -she might get bitten and be scared of animals for life or she might learn to love and care for animals. Its your choice but I would go for expecting the best. Good enough is the default setting for life satisfaction.

A woman is like fire -fun to play with, can warm you through and cook your food, needs constant feeding, can burn you and consume all you own

Don’t worry about me. I’m doing fine. It makes you feel better, my neighbour fed me a BBQ steak a week ago, for free! First one I’ve had in years…

Gravel pit’s suggestons for doing something to shake things up are pretty sound. These things sound corny and cliche things for men to do in a crisis but they are only that because so many people say them and so many people say them because they are totally true. When you are depressed you can’t see it but something has to be done to get you out of that state because it is not actually your natural state. You are supposed to like life enough to be content with it overall or at least to be working to become content with it.

A good shake up is the start and then a lot of positive mental reinforcement. Try keeping a diary of every compliment you get or thanks you get from people in life and fill it in every day. Set a list of achievable goals to make life better in small ways and tick them off. Again sounds like the sort of thing people are always saying but they are always saying it because it works.

I live a very austere life. It doesn’t need ‘shaking up’. I afford myself few luxuries but I keep warm, fed and dry. I’ve live this way for many years and although my friends IRL sometimes worry, I am used to my life and I’m really doing okay.

I don’t need anyone to be concerned but I do ask that I not be expected to go through life joyfully singing and dancing merrily, thrilled just to be alive. I’m surviving and that’s enough for me.

A buddy recently told me that I need to get some ‘fun’ in my life. Not starving, freezing or being in constant pain is about as much ‘fun’ as I can handle. I try and keep my expectations low and so far it’s what has been working for me…

Look at you go, yeah.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

Me ! I’d be honored ! lol

Seriously, I’ve “shaken” things up for the last few years and nothing does it anymore. I’ve done and still do really fun stuff but it’s routine now, superficial, pointless…

Like I’ve said before (somewhere), I’m just passing the time until I die and I’m still in my 30s.

Unlike the majority who suck at most things then find one thing they’re good at and stick to it for the rest of their life because they’ve found this fulfilling thing to do, I excel at everything I set out to do. I learn quickly, get really good at it and then I get bored as fu.ck. So because this happens, what’s the point in trying anything new ?

Having ‘fun’ is a luxury for me. My time (when I’m not online) is just spent doing work that needs to get done. Yard work, home repairs or fixing vehicles, there’s always something. It’s never ending and there are so many things that need to get done I can just switch jobs or projects to keep from becoming bored. I have literately years or work ahead of me. I don’t even remember what being bored feels like. Being exhausted, that I understand…
