I'll raise you one higher:
>No woman on this planet is worth going through
>Anything.

Ignore your lizard brain. You don't need arbitrary relationships with women for the purposes of reproduction, that's what your intellect is for. You can either be known for "contributing" to humanity by creating a batch of little shits that will probably amount to nothing, wasting most of your life in the process.

Of you can use all that wasted energy to pursue something that's TRULY useful to humanity. Artistically or otherwise.

Here's my line of reasoning:

>Count how many developed / 1st nation countries there are in the world
>Count how many are capitalist
>99% of them
>Capitalism wins.

Its really that simple everywhere that has been successful, progressive and productive has been capitalist where it seems as if communism/marxism almost invariably leads to stagnation, authoritarianism, regressive revolution or worse.

I think that there is an eerie similarity between the eventual path that both fascism and Marxism lead to. George Orwell wrote a number of interesting essays referencing what he saw as the close relationship between the two.

They're not the same. And they my night always lead the same place, but vehement Marxism seems to often instill ideological subserviance to people as well as empower an oligarchy to undo power.

Direct democrazy / decentralized government is a pipe dream.

It's started going downhill when I was 12.
When I was 15 my dad made me read a couple of essays by Schopenhauer.
After about of year of interest in philosophy, and reading up on pessimism, Buddhism, existentialism, etc. the meaningless and suffering of it all just hit me in the fucking face.
But whatever, my life ain't so bad, so I deal with it but I can't imagine been some AIDS riddled African child or a quadruple amputee living in Romania.

Schopenhauer advises you to life an ascetic life, not life of doing useless fucking shit and getting fat and lazy. Or to make art (according to him preferably music) because art is Will in its purest form.
