Isn't it actually more surprising that suicide is so rare? For the longest time the majority of people had hard lives. Even now there are millions of people living in horrible conditions. Starving, not having access to good hygiene, having to endure painful illness with no health care, having to live in dangerous places where they have to fear for their lives, not having a comfortable place to live in, having to do hard and dangerous work for very long hours for almost nothing. No hope that it will ever get better.

Yet still suicide is pretty rare.

Suicide, when we think of it as a mental illness, is always done as a way to make the pain end. Again, in the context of it being a mental illness, people who commit suicide are in intense pain either physical, emotional, or even both and believe, either correctly or incorrectly, that there is no other available option to end the pain they're feeling other than ending it all.

However, suicide in the for of self sacrifice is something entirely different. Self sacrificing suicide can be seen as a way to preserve ones progeny or some other reason along that line of thinking.

This.

Sensitive and intelligent people are more likely to kill themselves. They are more sensitive to the fracturing of the community and then of the family. Humans evolved living and surviving together. The modern world is trading family and community for Globalism/sociopathology and social welfare/nanny state. This is destroying purpose and meaning. When you don't have purpose, meaning, love and connectedness you kill yourself.
Check out recent statistics on suicide. Middle aged white people are realizing that putting things other than having their own family first was a terrible idea and are killing themselves. Blacks are not killing themselves because they are only capable of living in the moment and white peoples' culture is taking care of them, like a child race, fulfilling some of the void of not having family themselves. Because blacks lack the same level of intelligence they also suffer less.

I know this sounds horrible but it's true. It would be nice to believe in gods and fairies and that people who evolved different superficial difference over 10's of thousands of years to better suit their environment did not also evolve internally, intellectually, to better suit their environment. Believing this is incongruous with Darwinian evolution.

White man "solved" the world's problems leaving him with nothing to do, no meaning, no purpose, etc. So he is killing himself, literally and politically. Negros need nature or human beings to take care of them or they revert to bush "people"/shanty town "people". As long was white technology can take car of Negros they will continue to overpopulate until nature gets involved.

Usually attention whoring / self-pity that they rationalise as legitimate pain and desire to not live. Often those are the ones who fail or go on messily. Most suicide attempts fail, especially amongst women. Women attempt it more, but men actually do it more (a difference in methods, men usually going for the irrevocably fatal, women usually going for the 50/50 near-death). Of course, that's not to say people aren't legitimately in pain / broken and do it as a spur-of-the-mood thing. Or that there aren't people who spend a great deal of time thinking about whether or not they actually want to live, then kill themselves once they come to the very well-though-out conclusion, to do so.

There are many reasons people do it. We are relatively simple animals combined high abstract reasoning/visualisation/imagination. This obviously leads to conflict, especially as we can be so conditioned and influenced by our experiences and environment. Often on a much more profound level than any other animal. In some ways, we are the weakest and most stupid animal.

It is very easy to explain.

What is life:

Nothing but a big lottery. Your genes and your environment determine your future.

Some people have it all, handsome, high iq, good parents, plus a lot of luck. These people will succeed in the world. They will grow up to be high on the social hierarchy.

Other people have bad luck. Bad genes etc They will fail in life. They have to live a low hierarchy life, filled with wageslaving and no way to climb, no friends no girlfriends etc.

So you see this whole life is a big lottery and now take into consideration that the whole word tells you YOU ARE A FAILURE.
People like Peterson tell people that you should take responsibility because whereever you are in life, it is not the fault of others.
Also see how the average low conscious normie worships successful people etc and looks down on failures.

Is it really that hard to imagine why someone would prefer to kill themselves over getting humiliated by the essence of human nature?

If it is all about luck, and you didnt have luck and the world constantly tells you that it is your fault for being such a messed up failure, how could sensitive high conscious people not get crushed by that feeling, and develop mental illnesses and consider suicide.

I just hope that one day I too will overcome my burden( will to survive) and can end my suffering. If I cant be one of the lucky guys why should I give my life to make lucky people happy. I wageslave for them, I make less money so they can have more. I have to feel bad so they can feel superior and better.

That's definitely not worth it. Everyday I wish that I get run over by a truck.
But no even to get a free ticket out of life you have to be one of the lucky ones.
Some people can die already at 25, they never had to feel bad for one day, they never knew what truck hit them.

Other people suffer until they are 89 always having suicidal thoughts but never being able to overcome the survival instinct. That's what I call hell.

I suppose from the perspective of a non suicidal person it's a permanent solution to what may be a temporary problem.

I talked someone from suicide last month. They expressed gratitude in the weeks afterward. Of course, this isn't representative of all cases, but it does demonstrate that suicide can be irrational in some situations and that while the suicidal person sees no future, suicide isn't necessarily the optimal course of action.

>Assuming there are no other variables. Who made that assumption? you?
No, he said "the idea that suicide rates are rising in non-shitskin countries"
That's not a causal mechanism, it's an observation. Evidence that the suicide rates are rising requires, indeed, higher suicide rates.

On the other hand, what variables mediate suicide rate may remain obscure because, if for no other reason, you can't ask the dead why they killed themselves and vital statistics don't report reason of suicide. That alone →may← make it possible that even though more people are killing themselves over lack of a family structure, less people are killing themselves. But your unfalsifiable delusion loses all gravity when the rates are evidently still either remaining the same or decreasing overall. Evidently, either the cumulative motivations for people to kill themselves have not grown since the 1950s for the West, the whole of the developed world, or the planet as a whole.

I'm still waiting for proof of your fantasy.

I'm the anon you're replying to.
I would agree that classroom performance is not always indicative of intelligence, but, at least for me, failure in school is equivalent to failure in life, because school is all I have. I have several other hobbies, however none of them can be turned into careers, meaning if I fail school, I've essentially failed life.
Again, this may not apply for all people, but it definitely applies for me.

Most of what you say is true: life is mostly about luck and circumstance. However, despite all that, you still have free agency of your thoughts and actions. I know the universe is deterministic, but for the isolated system of your own self, that is not true because your limited self awareness cannot be effectively aware of the determinism of the universe, meaning that undeniably any action or inaction will lead to a consequence, inescapably, so you have to act as if the universe is not deterministic. Essentially, you have to live making decisions and taking actions as if the universe is not deterministic, and by doing that, the results will be commensurate consequences of your actions and thoughts.

You are what you think and do. No matter the burden or limitation in your life, as far as you can possibly know, your thoughts and actions create your reality - Act upon it and Carpe Diem, since after all, you don't really have anything to lose but yourself.
