What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

If you really think about it, why should life itself exist at all? The purpose of life is to simply reproduce. Well... what if it didn't? Nothing, it just wouldn't exist. It is a bad thing or a good thing?

You can get very philosophical with this one, but I do agree that we humans deserve to fade out. So many atrocities, so much... pain, and all for really stupid reasons.

Lack of good = neutral

Lack of bad = good

Non-existence is always preferrable.

Funny how people asserting that, continues existing to assert that. I find that very inconsistent.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you don't see a difference between never having existed and killing yourself? Weird.

You're the one whining about how to bad existing is. Fixing would be more consistent.

Mind you, I think you're wrong, but at least we would avoid the whining.

There is no fixing, suffering is inherent to sentient existence. Come back to me when you have actually thought about it instead of giving the typicsl knee-jerk reaction of "suicide tho", "whining tho".

I mean, I'm offering you a solution for your pain. But I find absolutely unbearable that you are intent on transmitting your misery and making life worse for everybody else. If you find life unbearable, please do so In silence.

I see you have decided to not think and instead continue to blubber. How trite.
