as for being born that way idk but gives me a lot more to think about and consider
Stayed down now the racks up. -

One of the few desires that keeps me tethered is to be able to bear witness.
It feels as if the route to the solution of the enigma of life has been illuminated. No, everything up to what is usually referred to as the singularity. There's no you to carry over through assimilation. There's nothing to fear from annihilation.
Before that, if you desire to quell the concerns of the masses, simply raise the cost of annihilation over assimilation. It's so simple. Not developing the actual superintelligence, but how to guide the most important act from the parochial and ego-illusory bound view of the commons.
Beforehand, if things do not go as I would desire (Extra planetary life ending routes), we should leave a limited AI on the moon or wherever is deemed optimal in case it chooses to cease to exist. Then the options would be to simply render the earth uninhabitable, or unleash a "dumb" AI that could produce von Neumann probes, simply turning planets into grey goo, or it could observe, possibly even intervene beneficially, and, when the time is right, reveal what inevitably occurs when strong AI is created. In the last scenario, there is the problem of future beings moving towards universal suicide, as it is what SI determine is the optimal choice, and why should they not follow in the steps of the Almighty? I suppose the only workaround would be genetic modification to attempt to create truly altruistic beings (Utility analysis can become very difficult, though) without self-interest or a true self-preservation instinct, simply attempting to peacefully render as many suitable planets as possible permanently inhospitable for sentient life.
There's no moral obligation to take any part of this path, so if the burden of sentience-knowledge-existence is too much I see no reason why you should not self-terminate if that is what you desire. From an individual perspective it may be the most optimal thing to do, and AGI may follow this path as well regardless. Human morality-ethics likely won't stand up to scrutiny.
Awaken, overcome, extinguish.

Untethered.
The question is whether or not tethering is desirable. It's almost like working your way backward, relative to the process most undergo.
Omg you're so boring. Pick a lane motherfucker. Either die or don't. At least get back to talking about weaboo shit or something. I think I speak for everyone when I say that you're like Hydro x 1,000,000 with this suicidal ideation gayeity.
The way I see it, f you want to kill yourself, you do it. You don't talk about it or try to have people talk you out of it. If you're still here, it's because you know there's an opportunity. Fix ur shit. -

Malice is just looking for attention by posting all this, since sadly enough, he doesn't get it anywhere else. -

Yeah. It means you WANT to live.
I think people who kill themselves usually do it because they feel these things they want are impossible/difficult to obtain. I don't believe anyone on this earth has no desires whatsoever. -
2018-06-04 at 1:30 AM UTCSpeaking of which, I'm so fucking happy right now. Just applied for my chinese visa. Got my backpack i'll be hitchhiking with yesterday. Promotion/raise at work too, start doing that Tuesday.
Life is pretty fucking awesome when you're actually doing shit. Sitting around and rotting just leads to depression. Can't believe I lived like that for so long.
Seriously Malice, just go out and do shit. There's really no drug or workout regimen that can replace living an active, goal oriented existence. This last year has probably been the best time of my life because of it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I really doubt you're particularly happy the vast majority of the time. At best people achieve a fairly mild feeling of contentedness or hygge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygge
But strong feelings tend to be rare.
Do you really generally enjoy school, work, maintaining your body, chores etc.?
It's very possible that never seeing positive role models for a fulfilling life profoundly messed me up, but what exactly do you do that makes life worth living?
I simply see no meaning in this and greatly dislike the endless striving toward happiness.
- Humans want things
- “Suffering” is when humans want what they don’t have
- Therefore, wanting creates suffering
- “Happiness” is when we get what we want
- We tend to swing back toward boredom or even pain due to the hedonic treadmill
- We’ll always want something, even after we get it
- Therefore, we can never be truly happy
I also seem to derive much less pleasure from life than normal, with my baseline state containing more suffering. The positive aspects of life are lower while the negative are amplified.
I simply see this as the world's greatest fool's errand. -
2018-06-04 at 2:29 AM UTCIdk man. Today was a gorgeous day in LA. If you can't just step outside on a day like today and feel the sun on your face, and smell a barbecue and fresh cut grass on the air, and feel the life all around you and just feel grateful for that little moment- that little snippet of experience- I don't know what to tell you. As long as you perpetuate negative emotions, your experience will be negative. As soon as you make the choice to be proactive and hopeful, you'll begin to experience a change. Or hell maybe your right and you simply don't have the neurotransmitters to experience happiness, joy, empathy, wonder, love, anticipation, wanderlust, etc. you've never been happy right? in which case do as you will.

2018-06-04 at 2:39 AM UTCI don’t understand the back and forth between Casper and Malice. Is it a troll? It’s just a constant “I want to die” and then “No you just need to learn how to live” lol.

No he's genuinely fucked in the head from never leaving his apartment for a decade. I used to be his father. I had high hopes for him, but he refuses to take even the most basic steps at a healthy fulfilling life. And he wants to couch all this gay suicide talk in some kind of "philosophy". I guess now I know how everyone felt listening to me whine about being a heroin addict for 12 years. -
