The guidelines sticky mentions a "grey pill". Can a helpful anon enlighten me as to what this is?

I think it has to do with realizing the meaninglessness of it all. Becoming nihilistic, essentially.

Kind of. it is more of realizing your own life being meaningless and fleeting, and trying to convert more people to your point of view

Why would you want to bring people over to this worldview? I'd imagine most would prefer to think their lives have meaning, even if it wasn't true.

That's why it's grey *pilling, anon. They need to know the truth, no matter how harsh.

so once you realize everything is meaningless, what then. Become a couch potato and die of starvation or dehydration?

Ideally, you would enter a Zen-like state and completely deny all your biological impulses towards self-preservation, recognizing them for how mindless and mechanistic they are, and let yourself become dead matter.

Few people will ever be able to attain that state of enlightenment, though. The urge to live doesn't give a fuck about your reasoning.

Wat? So when you realize that nothing matters, it matters that others know?

Why? If nothing matters, why should you do that over anything else? Doing nothing is just about the same as doing something, it doesnt matter. Thats what makes it even worse, no matter what you do (or don't in this case) you cant escape the meaninglessness of it all.

Anyways, if you had on a deep level came to understand that literally nothing you do matters and that there is no reason to do one thing over another, you would then do exactly that: nothing. And that would lead to you expiring.

choosing to do nothing implies you should do or want to do nothing.

Life sucks, shitty job, tons of debts, gf sucks other guys dicks, life has no meaning

No it doesn't. You would not choose to do nothing so much as you would see no reason to do anything and therefore would do nothing.

Nothing is an empty constant. You cannot choose it or predicate anything on it.

well overcoming urges to move requires wanting nothing
