If you are an honest, truth seeking person, accepting death is impossible. Even religious people and others who claim to have accepted it are lying, because what they've actually done is replace it with some bullshit cope like eternal salvation. The human condition isn't something we can "recover" from. Contemplating non-existence can be calming, but since we're cursed with such strong survival instincts, we can never really "recover" from our natural state of death denial and fear.

He's right though, there's nothing original in this book outside of the fact that it doesn't have filtration mechanisms like Zapffe and Tolstoy had.

Most Jews seldom come up with something original, it's usually a stolen concept that is taken credit for.

this route of argumentation is itself kitsch. we should at this point understand that although the extreme interpretations of the JQ are understandably unreal, the questions constant historical recapitulation should be taken seriously. Jews ARE a minority found in every corner of the US elite. Jews DO have a set of common genetic/cultural traits. They DO have an incentive (like all groups) to maintain themselves. These are only a tiny portion of the some of the facts that escape this retarded notion that the 'Jew' only exists as a blank, container for a person or nation to fill with their own interpretation and eventually victimize.

If Becker is too much of a Jew for you, read Cioran. He doesn't mention poop once in his entire ouvereue
I think the real issue is you're all afraid of the possibility that
1. there's no meaning available to you.
2. you don't think you can live without some purpose.

>A Confession by Tolstoy
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going through the exact same issues as he was right now. I just read the wikipedia description. I'll probably read it but him going back to God is not an option in my case. I think he was wrong about suicide, Cioran is right. I also don't get his moral argument against epicurianism since material things can be enjoyed at a smaller scale. I assume that poverty was a lot worse then, now it is okay

>I think he was wrong about suicide,
He was right. Cioran made many planes to commit suicide but he always delayed them. I am not saying that Cioran should have done it. I have tremendous respect for the honesty of Tolstoy who was bold enough to accept his own weakness.

People die on purpose all the time. There is plenty of evidence that people do not fear death more than anything else, and it's perfectly consistent with evolutionary theory that the satisfaction of certain desires would make death acceptable.

Doubtful that the fear of death -- one of the most basic biological functions -- is so low on the list of fears that everything is above it.

>and it's perfectly consistent with evolutionary theory that the satisfaction of certain desires would make death acceptable.

Removing desire makes death acceptable; satiating it only imbibes it. Desire is self-perpetuating and death is its enemy.

>Doubtful that the fear of death -- one of the most basic biological functions -- is so low on the list of fears that everything is above it.
Maybe I was unclear or you misunderstood my sentence. I intended to communicate that death, in and of itself, is not the single most feared thing. That doesn't mean it's "low on the list of fears."

>>19170941
>Removing desire makes death acceptable; satiating it only imbibes it. Desire is self-perpetuating and death is its enemy.
Unless you mean to restrict yourself to sensual "desire", you're falling for shit-tier eastern memes.

>> No.19172900

This is retarded. People sometimes ignore death because it's way off down the line and there are more pressing as well as scarier matters that they have to deal with at a given time. It's like saying why don't people obsess about the news of some natural disaster killing people when there is a lot of stressful stuff happening in their life. Cult of guilt and worry.
