Was bound to happen eventually. Can't live eternally in a cradle. Turns out we're too stupid to even make it past infancy let alone the cradle haha can't wait to be a raider and crucify richers in the name of Poseidon.

An insane mind posted:Is there any reason (other than money) that people deny climate catastrophe? I mean, what I'm trying to say is...ugh...the people who do this are actively dooming future generations. Has there just been a boom in psychopatic births? Every human (that does not have a mental condition that specifically fucks with that part of development) has the capacity to feel empathy right? So how can you not think about what you're doing to the future. How can you deny evidence that is basically clear cut. climate catastrophe is inconsistent with a lot of strongly held beliefs, with the added bonus of the accumulated history of ~200 years of anti-malthusian discourse. also for most people "beliefs" are just an excuse for social posturing and have nothing to do with truth. this has probably been the case for all of human history, it's just that it didn't matter since it was mainly people killing other people directly instead of turning the world into a murderball of climate death

Can't live eternally in a cradle. christianty n poo poo was one answer to that by those of ye olde by going 'well God made it for you to gently caress up and you'll all go to a happy dance party in the sky with all your memories and friends n family forever n ever nothing bad can ever happen with Him watching' which is a more appealing choice. but everyone always deep down kinda knew and knows is pretty bullshit wishful thinking to not think about it but hey why not. its always been something discussed by philosophers and writers and basically boils down to the same thing of 'you were non-existent before the universe began, before the previous universe collapsed and reborn, and before that one, and before that one too, and before that one as well, and will be for so many universes yet to come to undergo entropic death and rebirth afterwards, this is your existence in a brief wink of incomprehensible amount of time even among time of matter/energy ever existing in the first place across who knows how many iterations of life and death' it really doesn't bother me in my everyday life other than 'lol thats gunna suck but heyoo well im here now im got weed to smoke and balls to drain. cant wait to see florida underrate and die raiding peter theils new zealand mutli-billion bunker'

I think that we only get one chance at life and nearly any kind of being alive is preferable to being dead. Also I was born into a certain level of inescapable discomfort so my tolerance may be biased. We are in general stronger than we think we are.

Every human (that does not have a mental condition that specifically fucks with that part of development) has the capacity to feel empathy right? So how can you not think about what you're doing to the future. How can you deny evidence that is basically clear cut. the ego - which imagines itself to be permanent - cannot and will not willingly face the reality its own dissolution. whether through certain (but not immediate) physical death, or the destruction of so many core assumptions about the self that they cannot be smoothly integrated into the ongoing narrative, information like this that is abstract/far away that cannot be reacted to and corrected in an immediate manner (like an imminent physical attack) is simply filtered out. this is true of almost everyone, online brokebrain is generally maladaptive in a broader social sense. facing reality means accepting either "i am going to die because of this" or "in light of this reality my actions prove i am not the good person i imagine myself to be" or both. unacceptable. its not even a question of morality its just how brains (dont) work
