Suicide is based. I am not based enough to do it. If my words and thoughts managed to convince someone to do it I would feel honored. (In actuality I'd probably be worried the family of the deceased and media would come at me)

>> No.23504208

>>23499619
I would be happy that I made an impact on the world, no matter how little, that I determined one person's whole life in such a way, even if almost accidentally. I'm so insignificant that if I made someone die (without harming or even touching them) I would be able to confirm that I, in fact, matter, even if it's in a way completely harmful to others (but not myself). It would be life affirming, and also a little addictive. And if the sham book I wrote was enough to push them to do it, they probably didn't have a good life anyway, not one worth living, certainly. You should ideally be pushed into suicide by a far better work (as in Young Werther or the Critique of Pure Reason). I don't think I can compare to Goethe.
Your job is to impact the reader, but not necessarily for the better. It's their fault for reading it, not mine for writing it. I would also write another book, albeit there would be less success. I don't think I matter anyway.

I don't think I'm capable of expressing myself if I don't actually feel what I'm putting to paper, so I would probably empathize and feel very sad for the person who would commit suicide.

I posted an excerpt on twitter once and people seemed to like the descriptions anon. Basically giant tungsten drills burrow into the earth and establish mining colonies that are semi-independent from the transnational megacorp-like nations above, wherein NATO v Eastbloc nuclear war is common but since the atmosphere is like Venus anyway no one seems to mind. But I was a postmodernist pseud when I wrote the beginning in 2015 so there's a lot of vague dialogue between the protagonist and his superiors about epistemology, which is already something worth killing oneself over reading imo, but coupled with the minutiae of territorial political elections and post-left organizing in the slums of the underground apartment-complexes
