Philosophy = love of wisdom, yes? What good is wisdom? Wisdom is power, which we instinctually crave because it aids our survival. Everything is reducible to evolution, it’s that simple. There is no meaning to life, we are simply endowed with the urge to live and reproduce because that is what works, that is what tends to exist. Morality’s only purpose is to aid the survival of the species, so yes there are some moral “laws” that generally are good but they aren’t this transcendent, objective thing. Happiness and suffering are artificial goals produced by an unnatural society, this is not the purpose of life. That’s why people in poor countries are never depressed, they don’t think about dumb shit like how to be happy or what the meaning of life is, they simply try to survive. When survival is easy, you still must fight and compete and conquer to ensure success. All philosophical talk about metaphysics and other impractical stuff only serves to signal intelligence or to satiate our curiosity about the world to understand our environment, because we’re designed to crave knowledge because it’s essential for our survival. But we assume very basic things, like that causality is actually real, which isn’t necessarily the case. Most minds are riddled with illusions of free will and souls and selves and God and they can’t even imagine the alternative being the case. But of course all these beliefs only exist because we evolved to believe them, because they help us in some way. It could all be false, sure, but just knowing this doesn’t make us stop believing. We will continue to do whatever we are programmed to do to ensure our survival. Truth is whatever works, existence is whatever we can perceive.

Happiness isn’t the goal of life. Evolution doesn’t work like that. We are designed to survive and reproduce, nothing more. Suffering is necessary to have a naturally and healthy life. People are depressed because they don’t suffer enough, they don’t struggle. If you are a man, then suffering is not even an issue to you. The only thing that matters is your conquest of the world and yourself.

Watch Andrew Tate.
Get a job.
Stop watching porn and fapping.
Stop viewing “happiness” as a goal in life. Suffering is necessary. Conquering is your biological purpose. Surviving, winning, reproducing, this is your nature. Or you can be replaced by those who actually want to live.
