If they find themselves unable to get a woman to desire them, there is usually two conclusions that follow in the minds of men: either women are 'sluts' that can't appreciate them because they are being penetrated by 'Chads', or they are inadequate.
And there is nothing worse for a person not yet established and secured in the social system than to feel inadequate.

>/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to /his/. If you want to discuss politics, go to /pol/. Philosophical discussion can go on either /lit/ or /his/, but ideally those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.


this thread is not about literature or philosophy. it belongs on /r9k/

We could also recommend OP some literature instead of complain.

Most antinatalist philosophy also tends to touch on the subject of suicide, for example.

making these people feel like they are welcome here and have potential to contribute something valuable is false and cruel and it will kill this board.

best to just encourage them to nut up and finally kill themselves, or better yet the mods could actually do their job.

Those are usual conclusions that I, personally, observed on this website, of course I am in no way arguing this based on certain and factual statistics.

/lit/ is an /r9k/ offshoot, the board exists because of 'these people'.

Curiosity about ethical questions like OP shows is very often a starting point for people to get into reading and philosophy, and if you're encouraging people to deepen their understanding and read relevant material they can very well get to the point where they have something to contribute.

Buying things isn't contributing to society. Its only considered a contribution on the presumption that people with money have generated that wealth.

Never.

Although I'm a little less judgemental in the case of someone who's 77 years old and has Parkinson's and diagnosed with terminal Leukemia. They explain to their spouses and their family that they just don't want to go through the battle and they've decided to die.

I still wouldn't ever do it, but I'm a little less judgemental in those cases.

OP here. I have no desire to kill myself.

I just thought I'd post this to a board that will actually discuss it instead of posting dank memes. I see it was a mistake as your fake outrage/shitposting isn't any different than something I'd read on /b/.

And yes, this thread is philosophical. Stop pretending to be mad and just go find another thread.

I'm wondering if there are any irreligious arguments as well.

OP a good person to read on suicide, history, and anti-natalism would be E.M. Cioran. I enjoyed all of his works, but I read the translated versions in English. I would tell you to start with "A Short History of Decay" if you're interested.

>gf because that is literally your reason for existing,
Monogamous partnership only came about during the last 5% of the existence of humans, anon. gfs are a meme, not hardwired.

We are social creatures of course and desire company, but a gf is just one of the many ways to get it, and arguably an inferior one that causes a lot of stress and problems.

It's more prudent to focus on rewarding relationships with friends and family and view romantic relationships as optional if not downright undesirable.
