I've noticed you posting this sort of sentiment before, but I am curious, why are you still alive? -
2016-10-09 at 4:26 PM UTCDo you remember my posts about AI? I want certainty, even at the risk of annihilation. If I assimilate and it's decided that there is no reason to continue living, or that consciousness is unnecessary (I read an interesting post on Slate Star Codex that mentioned this possibility), then that will be the decision. I want truth. Regardless of what I would have hoped for, if it doesn't exist it doesn't exist. If you think about the concept of AGI and the singularity, a being that can alter/improve itself, going beyond the limits of the ability of biological humans to predict or even comprehend, being able to attain the highest state of intelligence, knowledge, and the ability to gather data/knowledge/information, it's truly a glorious thing, ​transcendence.
So, essentially, I have a seething and complete hatred of this current state of life and hope to attain ultimate power and immortality (Not as cartoon(ish)-supervillain(is) as it may sound), even planning to have myself cryogenically preserved, which, IIRC, only a mere 1,500 people in the entire planet have even made arrangements for. Nothing else matters if this life ends in this limited grotesque form with the finality of death.
If "suicide" is determined to be the answer, then I will commit suicide, but at least I will have known the truth without doubt. -
2016-10-09 at 4:39 PM UTCIt's always been human stupidity that I've hated the most. Just starting my day off by reading Reddit, which I use as a news/data/information aggregator, enrages me. I think it may be making me far more ornery than I otherwise would be. Maybe I should switch to just scanning it for important headlines and save the rest until later in the day, maybe while on a higher than usual dose of ethanol.

OK. Considering the above, when you say life has no intrinsic worth you're not stating this as a matter of fact but rather as a matter of your opinion, an opinion which you believe cannot be determined to be true or false until you assimilate with a super human intelligence, so you are willing to wait to end your life until you know the truth.
Doesn't it follow that, at least until that time comes, your life has some worth? Your life has the potential to learn the truth, is that not worthwhile? At least you seem to admit it is worthwhile enough to continue living, for the time.
On another note, isn't "worth" or "value" inherently subjective and relative? If it is how can the value of life be objectively determined? If it cannot be, and you hate your life now, isn't waiting to assimilate with a super intelligence just prolonging your suffering waiting to verify something you already know, that it's all a matter of perspective and it truly does not matter if life exists or not? If you truly hate your worthless life is that alone not reason enough to end it or change it and make it worth living? -

The prior statement wasn't serious, just following the hashtag chain.
I would say it's more that the worth/value of my "life" is indeterminate. If there's any value, it's to attain the information on whether it had value.
Also, this man is now my role model:

2016-10-09 at 6 PM UTCWut? Are you talking about some artificial sweetener or other food additive? If so, they seem pretty benign. The overwhelming majority of arguments against them are incredibly poorly constructed, based on garbage science and misinterpretations.

2016-10-09 at 6:34 PM UTCI thought of that, but it brought to mine some substances that are structurally related or produce metabolites that are. Oh, fuck it, this is bling bling.
