>what keeps you going in the face of utter futility? the inconsequentiality of life? the knowledge that you are merely the inevitable outcome of chemical interactions as governed by the laws of physics?

I want to study neuroscience, to figure out what exactly those chemical/physical interactions are. Because my experiences (making love to a beautiful woman, receiving a perfect score on an exam, feeling like a god while setting a personal record with weightlifting) are pleasurable enough to override any existential angst.

Yes, you are at the mercy of your brain, and, to a certain extent, your genetics. But both of those things have, via evolution, provided you with very powerful incentives to live.

I feel that you are now contemplating suicide because your life is empty, you've had everything handed to you since forever and you have nothing to live for. Something tells me you're also a deadbeat whose existence poses no advantage to the world or yourself in general. But that doesn't have to be permanent, now does it?

tl;dr ur a faget
