Why do humans continue living when they are fully capable of knowing that life is pointless and futile?




Why do we reject the logical approach of self - destruction rather than self - preservation?



My experience shows that the majority of us are only alive because of our natural biological inclinations towards survival which override our logical thought processes and force us to become afraid of death.

humans are in denial about A LOT of things

might as well continue the fantasy while it lasts. its like a good dream.

if being destroyed is so important, then dont worry about it. life doesn't last all that long anyways.

staying alive is an enormous waste of effort and resources which could be used by other less cerebral animals


killing yourself will typically end suffering, hate, anger, and "negative" emotions



depressed individuals should at least be allowed to end their lives



it's just very illogical to continue life

negative and positive are descriptions made out of contrast
like hot and cold
in order to know what "negative" is, you also need to know what "positive" is

but if you really think about it, why would negative emotions matter? they're just chemical signals.

i dont understand your concern for resources. if there is no mind capable of observing existence, then why would existence have any value? to have value, something must be able to assign value to it.

just for fun, lets say that life is illogical. if this is true, and your goal is to preserve logic, then yes, self-destruction would be optimal.

those who want to stay alive care about logic because it is a tool for survival.

but why would you care about logic? what value does it inherently have that makes it a goal rather than a method?
