THIS I suspect is the hidden undercurrent behind a lot of post-rationalist discourse that no one mentions explicitly, the dance with thoughts of suicide.

every addict is the same. they are FULLY rational because the aspect of themselves that is in control feels like it will DIE if the addiction is not continued. this is fully rational. whether the addiction is heroine, cocaine, alcohol, sluttiness, a cult, sex, money, etc...

promiscuity for e.g. has a one way ratcheting effect because you can't back out of it. you already lose your reputation so ur only way forward 2 not die socially is to hang out w/ lots of guys all the time. (girls r mean) sure it's just social death but it feels like REAL death

this is what connects normie losers with sociopaths & y they seem to "see" the same world. losers don't question the right to existence as well. that's why they can so easily start families and have children without too much angst
