Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

I would like to expand my "research" into suicide and complement it with legitimate philosophical texts. Now, I'm not well-versed in philosophy at all beyond some Hannah Arendt here and there.
Who has seriously written and published about suicide?
Reactions:
The anhedonic one, Lostandlooking, Praestat_Mori and 1 other person
To answer in a minute Durkheim, even if he is more socio than philo imho.
Cioran
Try also Sartre and Schopenhauer
But all philosophs have worked on this notion, as a part of live and death, and humanity, and self determination
There's no suicide philosophy. To start with all philosophy profs are basically career teachers. They need the jobs--, so none can express true ideas on suicide. You try it, you kiss your career goodbye. The philosophy they push on you in pretentious academic discourses are ambiguous which are subjected to misinterpretation and whose ultimate endnote is..., Camus, Sartre, Schopenhauer, etc conclude life has a meaning if only you decide..., Yada yada.
So, just make up your own philosophy....., I can assure you, chances are, your own philosophy will be 100% correct.
Human life is structured for continuity...., Even most of us here would never tell our kids, students, etc to kill themselves. ..., Or even to follow our choices.
That's as it is.
Sure I was disappointed about their conclusions, they are human after all and weren t able to overcome this shitty IS. Especially Cioran, i despise him as he seems to look for a specious argument to justify he was going on living... erk.
But i can understand your willingness to read about it and it s never lost to read, if you are challenging all this.
i think we are all european here, right ? Since it s not usual us people is interested in this... perhaps it s a judgement and i apologize if i m hurting s.o.
I found these videos in another post on ss and thought they were very informative. Shelly Kagan talks about the rationality and morality of suicide. It's in three parts. This is just part one. He also published a book based on these lectures called 'Death'.
