Pessimism (or realism).

Normies and brainlets are too caught up in the cult of positivity, the just world fallacy, and the rat race of pleasures of the flesh, to be able to consider the idea that conscious existence might be not-okay.

And that it's okay to say that conscious existence is not-okay, and it doesn't imply that you must necessarily kill yourself if you think that.

Once you realize your ego, down to your sex drive, down to your desire for social acceptance, etc... are all just tools that evolution uses to satisfy it's own anti-anthropocentric intentions, then funnily enough they hold less power over you. You're less likely to be swayed by some insane thot, you're less likely to feel personally slighted by misfortunes, and you're less likely to give in to social pressure.

But normies and brainlets are by definition status-seeking, and enslaved to their hijacked evolutionary reward mechanisms. To even admit for a second that life is not simply nihilistic, but morally wrong or evil, probably would drive them to suicide, as it attacks the core of their being.

They will never know what it is like to watch their immediate impulses pass by, and to recognize them as not serving your best interests, and realizing your best interests are themselves a tool of evolution to puppet us.

There is no escaping the cosmic woodchipper, but you can choose higher orders of contemplation and being within the understanding of this cosmic woodchipper; thus robbing the universe of some of it's totalitarian power over you.

Your mind is a self-torturing-suffering-machine(TM), a parasite on the serenity of the pure void. However, not all suffering is equal.

Don't waste your suffering on low orders of contemplation. Be a puppet with loose strings.
