Written by a person who has already left us, and is well worth reading by anyone who is even slightly open to the possibility that there's an afterlife.

The author's viewpoint is that we've been indoctrinated to view suicide as something negative and should be avoided, while we're simultaneously being exploited.

The issues the author describes are societal issues. We live in a corrupt system - a system set up to benefit those at the top, while taking advantage of the everyday people, or those at the bottom.

The author's solution to our societal problems is to commit suicide. A more logical solution would be to change the corrupt system that we currently live in.

This would make more sense. However, now the question becomes, will our society ever change? When, if ever, will there be no more wars, poverty, sickness, hatred, homicide, etc.

Now it becomes a waiting game. Will our financial and political systems change within our lifetime? Who knows? If not, does one want to avoid the future unhappiness, loneliness, or financial burdens of life? At least now we have a better reason for committing suicide.

You piqued my interest and I googled the image and found this video:

At 10:45 the sequence begins. Don't know which anime it is from though, or how to find out.

This guy's full of shit, just because he's not afraid of death doesn't mean normal people aren't.

When you're hungry or horny, you don't immediately run to satisfy those needs.

Desires can be negotiated with.

I've never had a NDE but years ago I was offered a choice to either live or die.

I had just drawn a bath of water and was taking my clothes off to get in the tub when I heard a voice in my head, that sounded like the emotionless, robotic voice of a speech synthesizer. It said something along the lines of "if you get in that tub you will die. it is your choice. you can die if you wish but know that if you get in that tub you are dead pay attention." Having never heard actual voices before but being completely open to the occult, I stood for about 20 seconds looking into a full length mirror wondering if I had finally developed schizophrenia. Then in the mirror I saw the reflection of lighting lancing out of the overcast sky, through the window, and into the tub. At that moment I saw, in my minds eye, an overview of the neighborhood which showed that the house across the street from me had been hit by the largest part of the bolt and the back corner of the roof was on fire but that it would be quickly extinguished by the rain.

I took my bath and a few minutes after I got out of the tub my neighbor came over and said that lightning had hit his house had indeed caught on fire. I kept my mouth shut about my premonition.

It still bothers me why I was saved from death in that manner. It's not like I'm anything other than a useless eater living a miserable incel life that brings misery to everyone around him, and it's not like since then I've had a bounty of blessings that make this life worth living. If anything I'm less functional.

That's a long term solution. Should it be pursued? Yes. Should those desperately displeased with their lives necessarily bother? No.

By the same token, just because you're afraid of death doesn't mean others are.

Sadly, the confusion about the death process he's addressing permeates our entire culture on every level, from fundamentalism in religious paranoia to fundamaterialism and agnostic dogma in the modern intellectual.

We can know what happens during the death process. NDErs do. See for instance this girl: https://youtu.be/V-GHrsSqcNw

I love how she's talking abou how the pleasure there can't even begin to relate to the relative numbness we all feel on this planet

Not sure how that's a worthwhile read.

I despise people who call others selfish for killing themselves.

Nobody lives forever to begin with and everybody has the right to end his life on his own terms.

The person who wrote the post OP linked from Reddit has taken on a worldview that we are here to experience a hard existence on purpose so when we return to heavenly afterlife we can see the contrast between the two worlds and how much better heaven is compared to this one. I'm not sure about that, I think that if we did choose this world it would be to create a new identity with new likes and dislikes so we can then experience a different type of heaven rather than a better one. It would seem silly just to come here and suffer just so we can go back with gratitude, forging a new identity out from a worldly life of both good and bad and then choosing a heaven from that makes more sense in my opinion.
