      Everything looks gray and cold and shitty? Well then don't do anything Stay inside, lower your heartbeat and just stop moving until the sun comes back out again And they say this is an obsolete impulse and in the modern real world it's "irrational"

      But is it? Is that actually true? Seems to me that "pandemic depression" is EXTREMELY RATIONAL Someone who falls into a "quarantine funk" is fucking saving lives -- their own and others -- by lying in bed and not moving and refusing to believe it's safe out there

      There's a fuckton of evidence that our society is fucked because we DO TOO MANY THINGS, and by so doing burn up resources on wasted bullshit The fact is that the biggest and most major way to fight climate change, for instance, is to DO LESS SHIT

      Isn't it weird that we think if you're upset about something the right response is to DO SOMETHING, GET OUT IN THE STREETS "I'm so mad about climate change I'm gonna go out there and -- " Aaaah hold up -- go out how

      "I'm gonna get on a plane to -- No, I'm gonna get in my car and -- No, I'm gonna -- huh" (I'm gonna be honest, "Why are you flying to twenty cities around the world on a private jet to yell about global warming?" is a good point)

      You wanna save the world from global warming? STOP GOING PLACES STOP DOING THINGS Be someone who never leaves their home, has never traveled outside their hometown, never tries exotic foods and spices and eats an extremely bland diet, never buys interesting new products

      Are you actually endorsing this mindset, or are you just trying to make a rhetorical point? I don't think many people are going to be very happy if they become shut-ins who literally never do anything but exist.

      Seeking happiness is delusion, lack of unhappiness (or happiness) is the only meaningful goal

      Yeah see the "nihilism" isn't the important part, it's the "optimism vs. pessimism" The fact is that it doesn't matter whether God made us for a specific conscious purpose or our lives don't matter, either way, that life sucks ass

      This is the whole thing that I admire @Nymphomachy for commtting to, the exact inverse of "optimistic nihilism", misotheism -- the belief that God did consciously create you for a specific purpose, which is eternal and inevitable suffering

          I don't know if I believe that, but I do believe something akin to the Buddhist idea of consciousness being a self-defeating paradox, an inherently harmful phenomenon

          Even if there is a demiurge to blame for all suffering, it doesn't make a difference to me from an ethical standpoint. I don't believe that gods are a prerequisite for principles.
