Existential crisis

The next part is when you realize after the great gulf war of usa vs russia, the skinwalkers invade and begin hunting humans and harvest their skin and organs while keeping them perpetually alive with their laundry machines, and they will soon have to leave but leave behind strange creatures that hunt any type of lights that go off in the night.

>business and finance

go away

Quite recently I just realized how a humans soul is assigned to a body if and only if the genetic code written at conception matches up exactly with what the interdimensional god has stored in their database of unused genetic codes. Once that genetic code is assigned, it can never be reused, and is gone forever. So the fact that I was born now and not 500 yeas ago is due to pure luck. Holy fuck.

i feel so small
we’re are all humans stuck in this pit of death and we think we have it all figured out

i would stare into the mirror and question my consciousness for like 10 minutes at a time when i was 14, i can't do it anymore tho my head starts hurting real bad

Now you can spend the rest of your life trying to find things that take your mind off of this new found awareness. Or maybe that’s just me. In a way it’s good to know but don’t spend too much time thinking about it. I have to find things I’m really in to in order to not think about it

What suprises me is normal people only want to start families and have sex. Shelter, food, sex..... thats it. Like holy shit.. normal faggots are extremely boring. No wonder most of them fall into depression, because they have achieved nothing that is unique to others.

>tfw you realize that one day you are going to die
Can you imagine ceasing to exist? holy fuck

Ya, I've become so self-aware that it's painful. I have no feelings towards anything, it all seems so pointless. Why do anything ever besides the bare minimum required to continue living, and even that part's debatable.

I actually envy really stupid, ignorant, simple people who go through life on raw emotion and who are reactionary to whatever's happening to them and the environment they're in. The highs and lows they experience must make life feel like it's worth living and fighting for.

I wish I were so lucky...

Thats why before you die. You do something that will turn the world upside down Scientifically speaking, there is no such this as "0%". Even the chances of you becoming a billionaire or the next dictator is NOT 0%. All you have to do is to find the steps on how to go through that 0.1% chance of achieving something no person has done before.

And even if you do fail. Atleast on your death bed, you know that you tried your best. Who knows, when people shoot for the moon. They sometimes end up among the stars.

i mean technically you will reincarnate, your corpse will turn into some fungus, which will turn into some plants, which will be eaten by some bugs, which will be eaten by some bird, which will be eaten by a cheetah.

chill out crybaby i've been irrevocably sick for 4 years now and 3 out of 4 days i wish i would die. enjoy your life while you can and don't be scared of dieing anxiety is just an obstacle while traing to enjoy life

it goes full circle. You're too retarded and focus only on the basics - you're fucked. Smart enough to actually be worth something in life - fun time. You're smart to the point that doing any arbitratry thing from the normal becomes the norm, you get back to just focusing on what you need because you don't get gratification from anything else - you're fucked

But you're still going to cease to exist. Just the thought that one day you're never going to wake up horrifies me. Also
>having a normal day
>stumble upon news of some guy who died in some accident
>they are my age
>suddenly realize it could have been literally me
>realize I can die in a horrific accident anywhere anytime
>my mind involuntarily tries to imagine what the last moments of this guy were like, trying to experience their pain and state of mind
Idk man it seems that nowadays almost everything brings me existential terror.

holy shit

You only die when people forget about you. Thats why before you die, you do something so fucking retarded that your legacy will live forever. Look at Hitler, do you think he really is dead? His ideologies, his legacy (uniting europe), his words are still alive today. Fuck we would probably 100 years less advance if he wasnt born. Nothing is impossible in this world, dont become brain dead normalfaggots like this guy .

This is like a post from someone who thinks their an adult now after they realize how bad people are, and then use the realization to justify their own poor behavior. In reality this just isn't good enough, even f you are working. You are still bad. You are still being a slave to the system or someone else. The just be a man line of thinking isn't good enough. Your still a piece of shit. You have to become an enlightened being in order to be good.

No man. Look, I get what you're saying and I actually agree on that point. But the fact is, the you that is experiencing life - is going to undergo a process, an experience of you blacking out without EVER EVER waking up again. You can tell me all about how to accept death but I would never be able to shake out this anticipation of experiencing death.

>implying you exist.

What drugs are you doing? Would like some.

>TFW got existential crises from working on AI for google.
Had the same thing when i worked for google on AI and finally realized that i will in fact life to see singularity approachen much faster than even our scientists had predicted and that AI will take over 90% of all jobs in 20 years. Took nearly 2 years for me to recover from that. What helped me a lot was working on topic related to Nick Bostrom and ancestor simulations.

LSD and adderall, nothing crazy

sounds like a horrible combination dude, no wonder you're going fucking insane

and what's even more depressing is that the world as we see it isn't even real, it's just a bunch of wavelengths that our brain interprets and constructs in our mind

even when it comes to mundane shit, for example think of color blindness or dyslexia, we view these as defects, as if something's missing or wrong in people with these problems, when the reality is that it's just the eyes/brain interpreting and processing differently in a way that only applies to a minority of people. Now think that if what we view as color blindness or dyslexia was actually the norm, as in the way the majority interpreted things, it wouldn't be considered a defect at all, it would just be normal. Basically what I'm saying is that the things we take for granted could actually be completely fucked up to an outside (non-human) observer and we wouldn't even know it, the majority of us could be horribly mutated yet we just accept it as standard because it's all we interpret and all we know.

>neurodiversity
kek I saw that big think video too

Acceptance is step 1.

Let the reality wash over you. Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power. Do you want to be happy or strong?

You can’t un-know what you learn, but many people numb themselves with denial and drugs.

How do you want the crest of your life to be, knowing you can’t go back, ever.

You’re assuming they are ever self aware enough to realize it.

There is joy in a simple life, it’s just not for everyone.

you sound pretty manic breh

oh thats why. just dont do anything stupid and land yourself in an inpatient clinic op.

lol brainlet... don't mix a stimulant with a strong psychedelic like LSD. the reason being you will have existential thoughts that affect your life perspective, but you will also be flying through them trying to find an answer you will never reach. by doing this you are oversimplifying and speeding through a process that has taken mankind years to determine and establish. slow down and appreciate the process.. try and learn something, this shit seems easy on the surface but realize how difficult things like this are to figure out for a human being.

Have a similar existential crisis recently. Given the short span of average person, it feels absolutely foolish to be enslaved for a good part of life to earn money. May be a majority of science and science-induced capitalistic efficiencies we don’t need actually and yet we can be happy (think homestead/traditional village life/tribal life). It’s our concept of BAU and social conditioning (high education/job/mortgage/mindless consumerism/debt) that’s flawed.

Imagine a fictitious conversation between two outsiders (to the system) - they happens to be two tiny sparrows (father and son)

Son: why are these houses empty, dad ?
Dad: all of them gone for work, son?
Son: why they work hard when their massive houses lie empty in a beautiful sunny day?
Dad: this how the economy works? You work and you earn.
Son: why sparrows has not created our economy?
Dad: good lord, you want us to be enslaved by that system, like humans. Thank god that we have a simple life. We don’t need crazy mortgages/soul-crushing jobs. Consider yourself lucky that you are a sparrow, not a human.
Son: But I like their cars/big houses/big machines. They are capable of amazing things, Are not they ?
Dad: true. But they are over-intelligent to realise that they actually don’t need all those crap to lead a purposeful and simpler life close to Mother Nature. Science and intelligence helped them to dominate over us and all other species. However, empathy-less science and intelligence is causing dooms for us and even for them.
Son: if they are so smart, why humans don’t realise these issues?
Dad: some of them does and are already taking actions. But for a vast majority of them - they are so brainwashed by the artificial economics and unending desires of urban lives that they refuse to change. They think nature exists because to give their selfish lives a more dollar value. How foolish.

babies first acid trip?

I kid... Yeah, the world is quite interesting when looked at from an abstract perspective. Keep your vision whole, your soul warm, and have a hell of a time while you're on this earth, is my take on it.

Since I discovered crypto though, I'm just living for the "better tomorrow" where gains will be had. Maybe it's gonna end in despair

Ever since crypto crashed in jan I've staying up at night wondering if I have cancer or am slowly going blind and feeling my teeth because I think one tooth is getting longer and longer. I keep thinking I am going to go blind, loose all my teeth, or die slower of a painful disease. I hope I die suddenly or my sleep. A quick heart attack among my friends if I had any would be ok too.

This is known as the lesser Kan and Li in Taoist philosophy learn to meditate, real meditation the ‘mindfulness’ stuff is just the first step, like learning to walk once you can do it move on to ‘microcosmic orbit’ and learn to run. Keep your tongue up.

H-hello satan-kun.

Could I legally put the shit on Jow Forums into a book?

Uh yeah.

That feeling of existential dread will hit you hard when you don't expect it. It tends to happen in the middle of the night, usually accompanied by a panic attack.

Eventually, you'll just accept that you're going to die and you'll be okay with it.

there is so much wrong with this i dont even know where to start.

summer normies get some time to think

can you undergo two existential crises? im sure i had my first at age 18, fucked me up good and it took a long time to become a functioning human being afterwards, the second one is much more recent, just a few months ago but now i feel like a different person "less" then who i use to be, its hard to explain it...

feels like my head is filled with so much shit i cant take this anymore, i honestly cant tell if im just crazy or i was crazy and now im sane, fucking ask me something... anything

Who gives a fuck about existence and shit. We are all gonna die. All that matters is whether you can enjoy this shitty short lifespan given to you. Unfortunately I can't even do that since I'm broke and cant get a job. Might be better to just end it.

That's what drugs are for. Even though life is pointless and nothing you do matters, you can alway get wrecked on drugs and forget that all that shit for a few hours.

I bet they sleep like a rock every night and are much happier being dumb as fuck like that

tfw heroin addicts living under a bridge are among the smartest people alive

Read Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. Both are sons of priests. Struggle with the same questions, freedom of will, existence, God. Kierkegaard finds a solution in his own ubermench within the theistic realm. Nietzsche finds his atheistic ubermench. They write and think so similarly about existence, but come to a different endpoint. Will teach you a lot about subjectivity, and how to deal with existing, but also a lot about how society works as a collective. It's facinating and it gave me a lot of insights in how to deal with EC in my early twenties. Nietzsche gets a lot of shit for being the angst teen philosopher. But he did write that in his book that only people in the year 2000 would get his book. I enjoyed them the most of all philosophers. Now I just read fun philosophers like Arne næss

Definitely worth reading, but I wouldn't recommend to anyone who hasn't already put some serious thought into these concepts on their own first.

I didn't read any Neitzsche or Kierkegaard until I was in my early 30s and was glad for that as it put me in a position where I could actually compare and contrast my own opinions with their writings. If I'd read Nietzsche at like 19 years old I feel I'd have been too impressionable and just blindly went along with (or completely disregarded) the philosophy.

Life is a Bubble

tfw you're all figments and creations of my own imagination and i am truly the only sentient being in the universe

tfw solipsist

im 28, and i dont know who i am, i feel like my life isnt mine, like everything i've done, the path i "chose" to get to this point was me just going along with the flow because it was convenient, but not was i really wanted, i didnt dare, i settled, to a point where it became a lifestyle and now i feel like i just woke up from a 28 year long dream where i missed out on every single potential good opportunity that presented itself to me which i would have grasped if only i knew i was dreaming.

and whats worse is that i feel helpless to change even after knowing this, i missed out on so much i feel like im the literal definition of the word "retarded" i lack so much life experience that i can never fill do to the constraints of age and health that all i'm left with is sadness and regret.

it's all a simulation OP. The fact that our universe exists the way it does today prove the rules that govern consciousness and reality existed long before the energy that makes up our existence came into birth. the whole things is a feedback loop.

Brainlet. I was pondering that shit when I was a kid. Reached enlightenment before 25 (its individuation for all you brainlets) and I watch the world function calmly knowing what it all is. Keep inquiring. All that you need to know can fit in the palm of your hand.

Don't worry user, we can explore the stars when we reincarnate in future lifetimes.

I had that feeling at 19, I'm turning 22 and still haven't really done anything about it yet. I put in an application to the military but when I looked at the paper work I just stopped responding.

Yes man every day lately. Whats worse is youre surrounded by actual monkeys

Looks like a interconnected constellation of networks (the internet).

What if there is an action that unlinks your soul/conscience and you don't even know because it's like you are dead but your body still goes on like normal. Like what if you drink 2 pints of water and tap the side of the glass six times and that just permanently fucks you forever and you wouldn't even know. What the fuck.

That's just a coping mechanism and shows your weak. There is nothing to this world -- own up to it and make it your own.

So much mental illness in this whole fucking thread so imma just drop a woke bomb right here.

Your thoughts aren't even yours. Why would you think things that make you feel bad?
you love yourself. You've always taken good care of yourself. See yourself as you are today. Congratulations on keeping yourself from dying until now.

There is much work to do, and you may start by ending the bad thoughts and only focusing on what makes you feel good.
Be true to yourself above all else, and let your light shine unto others.
don't concern yourself with the real world. all you have is what you percieve, why not make it about nice things?

God doesn't exist.
YOU are god.
the universe loves you very much but you've gotta start loving yourself too.
