Date: October 21st, 2018 8:52 PM Author: vermilion parlour mood It's for your genetic lineage. Everything you do should be focused on not just passing on your genes to the next generation, but enabling the next generation to pass on theirs. You striving enables your children to have a better position, them doing it enables their children to do so, etc.
End goal is having your family line positioned in such a way that they can weather almost any circumstance, assuming the world doesn't just completely fall apart. |

Date: October 21st, 2018 8:52 PM Author: offensive garrison Except my parents are way better off than me and my grandparents were way better off than them...WTF is the point
I am just a middle class wagecuck schmuck |
|
Date: October 21st, 2018 8:54 PM Author: vermilion parlour mood Just because your parents and grandparents fucked up doesn't mean the goal isn't worthy. It just means they didn't attain it. Your goal should be to be better than them, and make it so your children don't get a shitty setup the way you did. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4112015&forum_id=2#37069065) |

Date: October 21st, 2018 8:56 PM Author: offensive garrison they didnt fuck up - the world is just a much harder to place to live in now (in part thanks to overpopulation) and the family money got dispersed among too many kids...but mainly the world is becoming a shittier and shittier place
also there's no way i can compete with my ancestors, one of whom was a US Senator....i will never "beat" this person, and there's no fucking point in any of it
|
|
Date: October 21st, 2018 9:01 PM Author: vermilion parlour mood Bro, you're thinking of things in terms of your individual lifetime, not the lifetime of your genetic line. You might not attain a better position than a US Senator, but someone further down the line might. Your role, if you choose to not killself, should be to try and make that a possibility.

i mean, why do icare what my ancestors do in 500 yrs |
|
Date: October 21st, 2018 9:07 PM Author: vermilion parlour mood Because if you don't, you should just end it.
Frankly my dude, you sound miserable and like you don't have any purpose in life. I do agree that existence is flame, but if you don't end it all then you need to find something to do with your time. My choice was to try and make things better for my kids, and I honestly believe that should be what people should strive for. |

Date: October 21st, 2018 9:08 PM Author: offensive garrison I'm not miserable, and I go through the motions, but I fail to find the importance in anything tbh. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4112015&forum_id=2#37069146) |
|
Date: October 21st, 2018 9:12 PM Author: vermilion parlour mood Then why even go through the motions? It seems like a waste of effort and resources. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4112015&forum_id=2#37069173) |

Date: October 21st, 2018 9:13 PM Author: Fantasy-prone reading party look at it this way. if you follow this guys advice, you are just creating more people that will grow to realize the exact same truths that you have. and what will they do? they will either say fuck it or they will create another "genetic line". What happens when everyone competes to reproduce and hit the 1%? The world becomes increasingly overextended, overpopulated, forms of social control become increasingly brutal. so what you're really doing is condemning your kids consciousness to live in a world of Hell, albeit possibly in a slightly more "comfortable" position than you enjoy now. It is a blatant absurdity and frankly sinister. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4112015&forum_id=2#37069175) |

Date: October 21st, 2018 9:11 PM Author: vermilion parlour mood lmao, and if we somehow survive that, the heat death of universe is guaranteed to take us. Eventually, everything will cease to exist. Trust me, I've gone down this train of thought. With it, you end up with two choices: to kill yourself, or to not. If you decide not to, you need to find some sort of meaning. Otherwise, you're just focusing on your own frustrations and pain, and you would probably be better off choosing the first option.

Also why should it make a difference to you about your bloodline if you are gone and dust |
|
Date: October 21st, 2018 8:58 PM Author: vermilion parlour mood Ultimately, it doesn't. You adopt a long enough mindset, existance is flame, and you should just killself. If you opt not to, then you should find something to do other than just ruminating on your misery. I choose to make things better for my children because I'm not going to end it all.

Date: October 21st, 2018 8:59 PM Author: offensive garrison your kids are almost guaranteed a much harder existence than you have right now unless you are giving them lots of inherited wealth...the world is becoming a festering shithole of a place to live..there's just too many humans
|
|
Date: October 21st, 2018 9:04 PM Author: vermilion parlour mood I'm not going to deny that. In my view, if I don't personally generate wealth that puts me and my family in the top 1%, then my genes most likely won't pass on beyond my kids due to the world becoming such a shithole. The chances of that happening are infinitesimal, but they're technically non-zero. Because of that, I'm going to continue pushing on.

Date: October 21st, 2018 8:53 PM Author: Black curious fat ankles affirmative action This is actually THE CREDIT QUESTION and rationally it makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

when you actually sit down and think about it, you're like WTF is teh point |

Date: October 21st, 2018 8:56 PM Author: Black curious fat ankles affirmative action True, though frankly thinking about anything in a critical manner just leads to depression and ennui (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4112015&forum_id=2#37069078) |

Date: October 21st, 2018 9:02 PM Author: offensive garrison i guess, but it's hard not to
i feel like humanity has fallen further and further away from having any kind of a feeling of "purpose" in life. we are also so disconnected from the planet and the world and animals now, it's depressing.
We're completely isolated in our existence (on a species level, not just individual level), and so many people think their only purpose is to wagecuck for $$$...what the fuck is the point |
