• Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

What the point to life when existing equals death or worse prolonged suffering in a malfunctioning machine
life is awful for the vast majority of machine alive here why prolonged something that is inherently incapable of producing a good life for most
if life can't guarantee anything but suffering and eventual death, for the majority i see no reason to prolong it's inevitable destruction
especially since it's destined to be destroyed anyway, Why would anyone create something that he/she knows is destined to be destroyed in very short time
Some people justify it by saying the journey matters more than the end, but that only works if the journey is worthwhile. And for most, it isn't. It's a cycle of struggle, survival, and loss. So why create it at all?

On life is suffering: I believe that overcoming the 'Will-to-Live' provides the closest thing to a 'point' in life. This is why I—somewhat—reject anti-natalism—the birth / creation of another life offers another chance for the 'will' to be transcended, which, while it doesn't efface suffering, it does suggest the potential for a sort of 'redemption' or elevation of the 'self' through it

Small edit: I really like your posts!

Whether one finds meaning in their own journey, and whether they realise the unfair nature of living are up to the individual. The length of one's journey is also up to themselves, and once they believe they have fulfilled their purpose, they are likely to no longer stick around also.
Having realised and assessed the situation, one can then make a choice to continue in pursuit of meaning (if they have not yet found it) or to not go down this path, and find peace elsewhere.
Both are completely valid choices, for what is "meaningful" in such a fleeting existence is in and of itself a mystery to which the answer's nuance will vary greatly between even those who share a life ambition, grand or small.

There is no transcending the natural laws it is impossible to go beyond or break the inherent rules and patterns that govern the universe, essentially implying that everyone and everything is subject to these laws, regardless of their will or actions, nothing will ever compute faster than the speed of light
everything that is possible within these natural laws is extremely limiting very restrictive, and prevents a lot of choice or freedom.

letting each person decide for themselves how long they want to participate in this absurd game would be ideally but governments have imposed restrictions on our choice to leave because they don't provide away out and outright stigmatized suicide even locking suicide people away for their own protection and banning peaceful suicide methods they even go as far as imprisoning people for assisting someone suicide, so not just choice to leave

I'm from Indonesia. And I've considered myself to be quite privileged enough (luckily/thankfully), living quite a comfortable, easy life, when compared to a lot of people in this country who have it (much) worse than me & my life. But, even then, I still feel like perhaps it's better for me to not exist, especially in this world/society/life/existence/reality. My life is a failure, in almost everything. If you've read my posts & comments here in this forum/website, you'll know that I'm basically a NEET for a (very) long time already. And at my middle-age 42 years old now, & still being a single male, who still live in parents' house, jobless, unemployed, & basically just rotting away, I honestly feel like what's the point of me still living? still existing? What's even sadder, & the most ironic/tragic & absurd thing is how so many people (if not almost everyone!) have told me that I have so much potentials & talents to 'make it big', to be 'successful/succeed', be famous (especially in music/musician), etc2. But, in reality, here I am now, just a nobody/nothing & a sad, pathetic loser rotting away...

Shits happened. That's life. Welcome to reality.

Life is absurd. But I don't even twist it to be something 'positive, optimistic, hopeful' like even in absurdism philosophy etc2. The fact that life is absurd & things just doesn't make sense often times, just proves of how *depressing* actually this existence is.
