I think the way the video was designed was kind of funny but awkward to me.

This is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. I don't know why it made me so uncomfortable lol.

To universalize a suicide maxim is to take it as a law of nature; nature already has a law that we strive, even amidst adversity to live; hence, a contradiction would exist between a law driving our survival and a law driving our suicide... "One sees at once a contradiction in a system of nature whose law would destroy life by means of the very same feeling that acts so as to stimulate the furtherance of life, and hence there could be no existence as a system of nature. Therefore, such a maxim cannot possibly hold as a universal law of nature and is, consequently, wholly opposed to the supreme principle of all duty."

That, at least, is the canonical formulation.

 

[Final Escape]

Lol!

 

[RottenOdysseus]

"because it will upset my family and friends?" "No, fuck them"

IMO Kant was a genius, but yeah, even geniuses have stupid ideas... I can't see how this matches the rest of his ethics, on the contrary - it contradicts it. I sense a lot of religious dogmatism which was not something he was able to completely avoid...

There is a critique of Kant here: https://philosophynow.org/issues/61/Kant_On_Suicide

Remember that it is not the deed, but the maxim at issue. Killing yourself isn't wrong according to Kant, but acting on a suicide maxim of the sort criticized in the Groundwork is. If my maxim were: I will ctb if this isis the only way to avoid suffering that ruins life, then it could be universalized. Kant leaves room for some suicide maxims in the metaphysics of morals.
