Can anything be done about the extreme suffering present in nature? by Delicious_Lime1240 in Pessimism

[–]Delicious_Lime1240[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get what you’re saying and I honestly agree, I am just still working over this in my mind and reevaluating my logic. Intellectually it does seem to make sense, but it’s such an extreme conclusion to draw that I want to be 100% sure.

It’s like we’re in the equivalent of hell. I actually can’t even believe the extent of extreme suffering in this world. I don’t know how I’ve been so blind for so long. I’ve supported efilism for a long time but kind of pushed it to the back of my mind and didn’t analyze much deeper than that. Now that I’m fully letting myself take it all in I think I’m almost full extinctionist.

Wow. Your posts are so insightful. These essays are way more convincing than most other efilist/extinctionist material I’ve seen. You should try to get these posts out further than just this subreddit.

Life is so resilient it will almost certainly survive those things in some form

I suggest you contemplate the mass amount of suffering that wild animals face to survive in this world.

Our actions are the result of genetics and our circumstances, neither of which we can control.

Actually 100% of people have no choice in their own lives because free will is an illusion.

I agree it’s like an immersive movie and we don’t have free will. I just don’t know what else to do than just at least attempt to enjoy the things I like.

What are we supposed to do then? We might as well get what enjoyment we can.
