if you have people who care about you then it's unethical to put that burden on them
if death is oblivion then time will not exist for you and you might be reconsituted again in an instant, somewhere amidst the seas of infinity
if it's not oblivion then it's unlikely that such a generally unethical and selfish act would be rewarded

eternal oblivion is terrifying and is only one of the possibilities; by killing yourself you're betting everything on that possibility, and it makes it so that you might as well have never existed at all, which means that you're already dead anyway if it's true

I never understood this argument. This is assuming you're being selfish by killing yourself and leaving your loved ones still alive. So would it be more ethical to murder your loved ones before killing yourself? This is related to asking christcucks if heaven is so great why is murdering believers wrong?

Obviously Camus, which I suppose OP is alluding to with his pic.
Most major religions have some kind of injunction against suicide. More theological than philosophical.
Again, not really philosophical, but you don't know what experiences you're denying yourself by killing yourself. It could be that if you wait ten yeas, you'll experience unparalleled bliss and fulfilment. You literally can't know otherwise.
For us, the pace of tech development marginally increases the chance that this is actually true. Maybe in twenty years medical advances will change whatever part of your brain makes you unhappy or anhedonic, and tech advances make attaining heavenly bliss possible. Killing yourself precludes all possibility of experiencing these things.

>> No.15319022

Except you can't know for sure the nature of time you haven't experienced yet, or your emotional relationship with it.

Shit, videogames give meaning and entertainment to millions of people, billions of hours every year. Nobody in the seventies could have even conceived of such a thing.

>If you want a safe compass to guide you through life, and to banish all doubt as to the right way of looking at it, you cannot do better than accustom yourself to regard this world as a penitentiary, a sort of a penal colony, or [Greek: ergastaerion] as the earliest philosopher called it.[7] Amongst the Christian Fathers, Origen, with praiseworthy courage, took this view,[8] which is further justified by certain objective theories of life. I refer, not to my own philosophy alone, but to the wisdom of all ages, as expressed in Brahmanism and Buddhism, and in the sayings of Greek philosophers like Empedocles and Pythagoras; as also by Cicero, in his remark that the wise men of old used to teach that we come into this world to pay the penalty of crime committed in another state of existence--a doctrine which formed part of the initiation into the mysteries.[9] And Vanini--whom his contemporaries burned, finding that an easier task than to confute him--puts the same thing in a very forcible way. Man, he says, is so full of every kind of misery that, were it not repugnant to the Christian religion, I should venture to affirm that if evil spirits exist at all, they have posed into human form and are now atoning for their crimes.[10] And true Christianity--using the word in its right sense--also regards our existence as the consequence of sin and error.

Amongst the evils of a penal colony is the society of those who form it; and if the reader is worthy of better company, he will need no words from me to remind him of what he has to put up with at present. If he has a soul above the common, or if he is a man of genius, he will occasionally feel like some noble prisoner of state, condemned to work in the galleys with common criminals; and he will follow his example and try to isolate himself.

>>15319457
I don't understand your analogy at all. Can you explain it? It seems like the opposite of suicide - the escapee is taking steps to ensure that the future holds pleasure. The prison-breaker is totally in agreement with me, in that he must have a belief that there is a possibility of pleasure and meaning in a future. Otherwise, he'd stay in prison, or indeed kill himself.
And why is it absurd to admit that you don't know what the future holds, and that it may hold pleasure and meaning for you? That just seems objectively true. Look at suicide attempt survivors - almost all of them regret what they did. I've given lots of examples, and your refutation is "it's absurd". Pretty lazy.
I think you're a bit too lost in nihilism. In any case, why reject the absurd? Coming to terms with it strikes me as an important component to living life.

it probably sucks (going through with the act, surely you have something better to do..)

it causes pain and grief to your loved ones

your death is assured either way, no need to really hurry it along, there's no need to make this grand "fuck you" against life when you die regardless

other than that not really. life is basically the presence of embodied suffering. murdering the body brings an end to the suffering. although it destroys what could benefit from the act (there is no post death you that feels the relief or absence of suffering), the act brings an end to the pain regardless.

the problem of course is it's too late really. best of all was never to have been born, to never be put in this horrific existential situatino where one must even ponder these choices and actions in the first place.

something like "pain is inevitable. suffering is optional."

shit will happen. there are too many forces bouncing off of each other to not have something go wrong and cause you pain. But suffering is partly based on expectations.

You are unhappy because:
1) you know what happiness is. without a counterpoint, you can't understand your current situation
2) you believe that happiness is possible. You are less likely to desire something that you know won't happen. LIke, whoever despaired not being able to fly like a bird? very few
3) your actions to get what you want, and you know what you can have are thwarted. If you are sitting in a chair and a bird dies. you might feel empathy, but not feel personally affected. But if you are taking care of that bird, and it dies, you will feel misery.

All of these things are under your control. You set the expectations for what happiness means. you set expectations for what is possible to accomplish. and you decide how hard you want to struggle against your current situation.

If your requirements for happiness are "a billion dollars and a supermodel girlfriend", then you will be miserable. if it is "a rewarding career with growth potential and an attractive woman who loves me" then you have a chance at satisfying that need.

If you fill your awareness with people who have billions of dollars who constantly tell you that you only need to do this one simple trick to get rich, then you will be miserable when you fail. If you study people who worked hard, were grateful, who pursued their talents, and had achievable goals, then you can follow that example and be satisfied with your progress.

If your strategy for making a billion dollars is "invest in Bitcoin" then you will be miserable. If your strategy for growing wealth is "learn a trade, make business contacts, and hone your discipline" then you will find success and be happy, even if you never become a billionaire

One would be Kant's universal maxim, that you shouldn't commit an action unless you are certain you could will into existence a world where everyone thought killing themselves was acceptable all the time.
Moreover, Kant would argue that human beings should only ever be treated as ends in themselves, and that killing yourself is using yourself as a means to end your own suffering. As you are just as much a human being as everyone around you, you must treat yourself only as you would treat your fellow man- as ends in themselves, never a means. if you would not kill your fellow man to relieve your own suffering, then you should not kill yourself because it's the same thing.

Sure, but 'compelling' is relative here.

In reality, if you want to stop pushing the boulder, you're free to do so. I wouldn't recommend or condone it, but I won't pretend I don't empathise.

Suffering is suffering retard, it doesn't change into some different thing depending on who it happens to. Go ahead and show me the proof for hard deteminism, there's no proof either way and it probably can't really be proven either way. You're taking a position on something that's completely useless and meaningless to any discourse wholly on faith. Like I said, even if it's true and (You)'re predetermined, (You)'re still experiencing the illusion of choice, so you can't use determinism as an excuse for anything.

They're presumably not the ones causing you the suffering (and even if they are, two wrongs don't make a right), the circumstance is. By killing yourself when you know you have prople who care about you, you knowingly cause suffering to them.

but would you kill someone else to relieve your own suffering? Remember, you are killing yourself to relieve your own suffering, not someone else's suffering, and your agency and rights to life, and to not be used as a means to an end is equal to that of everyone around you
Kant would argue it to be immoral to kill someone to relieve their own suffering anyway, as you are abusing their biological life and entire existence to accomplish an end to suffering. Humans are always an end, never a means

When you try to say that you don't have a choice in killing yourself because it's predetermined, you're basically putting yourself above the deterministic process as if you can somehow look through it. It's absolutely retarded and contradictory. If determinism is true then realizing it still doesn't do anything to detract from the power of the illusion and your own experience. But nobody can show how it's true anyway, they just want to assume it because they're edgy retards.

>> No.15326651

Cioran's view on suicide is alright. Only philosopher I can think of who was of sound mind when they killed themselves was mainländer.

(I know Nietzsche and Deleuze killed themselves but their [haven't read deleuze] philosophies don't really prescribe suicide)

But really any philosophy in favor of suicide is just as irrational as its counterpart.

>> No.15326670

>>15318770
Not really a philosophical reason, more of a practical reality. Since you're not currently in the middle of the act of killing yourself, your life situation hasn't regressed to the point where you can't tolerate another moment. Even when life is really bad, it's not all bad. Since you're not currently killing yourself, you already have a compelling enough reason deep down. Try to work out what it is. You don't need our reasons. You're gonna die anyway, maybe it will be by your own hand, maybe it won't, but death is coming. Might as well see what happens until then.

Nietzsche didn't kill himself, but at the end he probably would have if he only could.

There actually is a section I think in Beyond Good and Evil where Nietzsche talks about how longevity is massively overrated and part of a life well lived is knowing when it's time to go.
