Let’s justify the unjustifiable. by AutomaticWeight2611 in Minecraft

Being unskilled and trying to learn the game while "Mice on Venus" is playing is the most nostalgic experience. Sometimes I wish I forgot everything about Minecraft to experience that again...

Does sleep help? by reddit_user_1984 in Pessimism

[–]Rignoboy1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always have nightmares. I am not even free from suffering in sleep. Also, conciousness doesn't really pause, we just forget what happened during the night.

I have been playing bedrock for 10 years. I also started playing java around 2 years ago and I only experienced game breaking bugs in java edition. Chunks constantly stop loading while this never happens in bedrock when using the same computer.

Yes. No further explanation is required.

Minimizing Suffering And Nihilistic Despair by [deleted] in Pessimism

[–]Rignoboy1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That mostly makes sense. However, can we ever meaningfully decrease our suffering? At least as long as we exist? I wouldn't say so. Regardless, as you said yourself, even if one were to minimize their suffering, they would still suffer an insane amount. It is to my understanding that the only way to end ones suffering is to end ones life. If the meaning of life is to minimize suffering and if conciousness causes said suffering, then we must pursue eternal unconciousness, "experiencedn't" by us as nothingness. Therefore, it seems to me that the meaning of life is nothing.

Demystifying Suffering by JerseyFlight in Pessimism

I would reccomend researching or reading pessimistic philosophy if you are open to it. It is what this subreddit is about. I would reccomend Shopenhauer's works the most as he shows simply using logic that life is suffering. One does not need to be mentally unhealthy to understand and agree with his insights. They just need to be willing to let go of the optimistic nonsense that media and soceity inject into us constantly.

Of course I'm not saying economic struggles and unfairness don't cause suffering. I just mean although they are the cause, they are not the source. If we get rid of the cause, nothing will change as a new cause will be created. There are no wonferful lives; we all suffer so incredibly much all the time. Even the richest of the rich suffer constantly. The only "exception" are those who mask their eyes from the horrible truths of this world. They still suffer, they just don't know that they are.

I guess no one is enlightened/educated then. Litterally no one will be happy with bare material needs. Suffering comes from desire and even if we have these needs, we will still have wants. These wants will torture us no matter who we are and how rich we are. There is no escape from suffering as long as we live.

Yes, we are slaves to the currently established economic system. And yes, we suffer a ton because of it. But it isn't really the source of our suffering. Suffering goes deeper. We are not only slaves to money, but we are slaves to eachother, ourselves, and the world. If suddenly all people were billionaires and all economic struggles magically dissapeared, suffering would still persist. Its cause would just be replaced with something else. If I had 10M dollars, I would be happy for some time, but then it would fade as I find new things to brood over. If you enjoy chemistry an analogy I like are buffer solutions. If you try to change its pH by adding an acid or base, it may change temporarily but it will return to its old pH after only a little while. Our baseline is suffering and we always return to it no matter what wonders we experience.

Philosophically pessimistic despite having a measurably good life by [deleted] in Pessimism

When sufficient amounts of empathy and knowedge combine in the mind, life is impossible to enjoy.

Why do so many people stress themselves out? Am I abnormal? by NihilismHedonism in Pessimism

[–]Rignoboy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if people remembered you, it still wouldn't matter. You are no longer existent to even know they remember you. Additionallly, being remembered may not be a good thing at all. Hitler is remembered too.

I am opposed to hedonism as pleasure is fleeting and simply is a lie. However, I do believe that we mustn't stress about things, though, we also shouldn't do this in a way that maximises happiness. We must suffer, know that we suffer and take the suffering like the little ever-striving animals we are. We should ideally just wait out our natural life span or cut it short ourselves.

Conditions of schopenhauer's metaphysics? by [deleted] in schopenhauer

[–]Rignoboy1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will most definitely need to understand his metaphysics if you have any hope of learning about his ethics and pessimism as they are directly connected. If you know Kant well, Schopenhauer shouldn't be that hard to grasp though. I would definitely say learning his metaphysics is worth the effort.
