There are two main systems on the planet Earth: industrial civilization and the ecosystem. Industrial civilization exploits the ecosystem as much as it can to make profits for the owning class, many of whom are psychopaths or have those kind of tendencies. It has destroyed the habitat for countless species driving them to extinction and enslaved billions of animals in factory farms where they suffer significantly to sustain and entertain industrial man.  For every Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos there has to be millions of people eking out a meager existence in slave-like conditions in this system. There are children working in sweatshops in Asia, people mining rare earth minerals with hand tools in Africa and wageslaves in developed countries working crap jobs they hate, all to prop up industrial civilization and fill the pockets of the elite owning class. But the ecosystem isn't much better than industrial civilization. For hundreds of millions of years animals in the wild have been hunt

Life is not a gift, it's an imposition. From what we know, nobody chooses to be born and when we enter this world from the void, life and all it's difficulties and challenges is dumped on us without our consent. We're alive and we just have to deal with all this crap.  If you are born in a first world or developed country, you might be able to delude yourself into thinking that life is good. But many people and animals suffer greatly in this life. There is starvation, disease, injury, mental abuse, being homeless, working a job you hate just to support yourself and so on. Some will say if you don't like life, just delete yourself. But death is scary and dying by your own hand isn't easy. It can be extremely painful and you can fail, thereby potentially putting yourself in a worse position, if you for example become crippled. I know, I've tried during a psychotic episode and just broke my arm, now there are some things I can't do anymore. But in today's w

This world is a hellscape for most sentient beings, Darwinian life is evil. Suffering is guaranteed when you transition into life (without your consent) from the peaceful void of non-existence. How much a living being suffers depends on luck. If they are born with the right genetics at the right time in the right place, then their suffering will be less. But right now there are millions upon millions of sentient creatures being eaten alive, starving, suffering from disease, poisoned by chemicals and struggling in many other ways every single day. What is the solution? I think there are basically two ways to solve this problem. Plan A and plan B. Plan A would be easier to sell to the human masses. It would involve creating a utopia where the goal would be to gradually remove all suffering from every sentient being. We could make a world that guarantees pleasure and happiness rather than suffering. A world where there are no losers, whereas now most living creatures are losers and relati

I used to be a creative individual with a vivid imagination who would day dream a lot and visualize things in my mind. Then some of these things I would try to bring into reality, like for example edit a cool video, create a website, make a funny meme or what not. But since I got schizophrenia my mind is either empty or I have intrusive thoughts that I don't want, I struggle to be creative. I am also barely able to visualize or imagine things in my mind. It's like something is blocking my imagination. I can't sometimes even imagine an image of my mom or dad. I know for some people schizophrenia has made them more creative, but for me it's the opposite. It's almost like I have lost my soul and now I am just an empty vessel void of any original creative thoughts. However the world at large seems to also have gone this way. TV shows, movies and games just aren't what they used to be in the past. Part of it may be my personal bias and nostalgia, but I think it's

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh claimed an exclusive connection to the gods, leading people to serve him, either willingly or as slaves. The majestic pyramids of Giza were constructed to glorify the pharaohs, with an estimated 10,000 slaves dedicating their lives to these grand monuments. Today, echoes of this disparity persist. For every wealthy business mogul, there are countless individuals toiling away as "wageslaves" in unfulfilling jobs, struggling to make ends meet. The wealth amassed often finds its way into the pockets of the privileged owning class, further widening the wealth gap. While rewarding talent and hard work is essential, it is evident that the current system falls short. Many hardworking individuals, working in factories, as cashiers or as cleaners for example, still struggle to afford basic necessities and housing. The plight of workers living paycheck to paycheck stands in stark contrast to the astronomical earnings of billionaires, who make more in hours

When you make decisions in your life, your choices are likely predetermined based on certain factors. These include the knowledge you possess, experiences you've had, your current socioeconomic and natural environments, and the opinions or beliefs you form based on those factors. Then also how effectively you process this information depends on your genetics, which determines a large part of your intelligence and creativity, as well as other facets of your personality. Humans are not that different from other animals such as dogs. For example most people know that in general pitbulls are more aggressive than golden retrievers. Likewise people have different personality traits based on the genes they inherit from their parents, and how those parents raise their children. Even artificial intelligence can detect criminals based on their facial features with surprisingly high accuracy. So I would say that free will is an illusion. Our choices are determined before we make them based o
