If you really want something, you will get it. If you are not getting what you want, it's because you do not really want it.

Do you agree or disagree? I'm trying to figure out what I want. What do you want?

I've attempted all kinds of things in life but they all failed because I would eventually quit because I guess I didn't really want it. Now, I don't know what I want, which might be what I really want... to not know... to not want...

To me there's a wide gulf between not knowing and not wanting... But you have developed knowledge of antinatalism which seems to be your "life's work"... You have not failed at that...

When one understands that there is nothing to know (nothing one can know), then, seeking, the desire to know, ends.
Antinatalism, in my opinion, is pure logic. It's simple arithmetic. No birth = no suffering, no death.

And yet you know that: that there is nothing to know. That is, perhaps, the only thing to know.

You can't know anything. You can talk about it, exchange signs and symbols, make diagrams, develop nomenclature and so on. But, you never know anything. Not a single thing. It's like chasing a carrot on a stick. It's Sisyphus, over and over again.

I agree. And yet we "know" language, we use it. We talk about not knowing. So we "know" that we don't know. We don't even have to say anything. To be alive is to be Sisyphus. Even you, even me.

We don't even know what the letter "t" is. Or, "m". Or, "f". And on and on. We don't know language. But, we use it. We make sounds with our mouths and throats, contort our lips and tongue and emit gases and vapor out of our pieholes. And we call this language
