if you aren't maximizing the population, the king is not happy

[yive]

Anything that does not maximize population is a taboo, because there are economic and social incentives for making people who fail to maximize population suffer.

There are ancient examples of this, like the taboo of homosexuality, the myths around punishment after death which further instill a death anxiety, and more recent, like the taboo of abortion, the taboo of suicide, the taboo of euthanasia etc.

If you aren't **maximizing** the population, the king is not happy. Why? Because the king benefits from lots of little ants running around. Even if the ant is stuck to a hospital bed, producing almost nothing other than piss, shit, and agony, this ant *cannot* be allowed to peacefully go. This suffering ordeal is very lucrative. Nurses get paid. Drugs get purchased. Electric company gets paid. The **gears** keep turning. Like a cow is enslaved and milked, the milk of humanity **is** suffering in the system. When you consider the *total* population, the gains are truly massive for forced torture. Progress here is awarded not because some power structures are truly ethically superior, progress is awarded when some power structures become **dominant**, then they can afford to *loosen* these restrictions(ie, the right to abortion, the right to gay marriage, in first world nations, vs. death penalty for homosexuality, abortion illegal, death penalty for violating religious rules, in nations under threat of being dominated). This is why progress is an **illusion**.

Does an ant wish to not have her child because she realizes it would be a mistake? The King can't have that. The priests and magicians of the kingdom need to spread the meme that abortion is the worst thing in the world, and deny the woman her future or autonomy because that's a future potential taxpayer, worker, soldier, consumer, programmer of AI/machine learning. Even a homeless person sitting in filth on a wealthy city's street has value: To make others feel like things are going well. This is the homeless person's 'milk' for which they suffer daily as they are farmed.

This is the burden of the average person when you have a universe which promotes psychopathy to ascend the throne of humanity. The good king/queen is a myth in stories which benefit the elite, because in reality, the good kings/queens had their food poisoned by the evil royal family member who stole the throne, while making themselves look like the hero. This is why psychopathy always beats non-psychopathy. This is called "natural selection" and has been going on for millions of years, to produce the world we see today: Evil in charge. It gets worse — the laws of physics prevent *any* other state other than a continual perfection and evolution of evil. Good *literally* cannot win in this universe due to the way game theory works here(cheaters are favored over non cheaters: Psychopathy is the *best* framework for winning), and the presence of entropy(things continually break down naturally, which is inherently 'evil', but also serves to ally itself with actual evil actors, to give them shade).

All progress is the illusion produced by the apex of human domination having room to throw such bones to the dogs. Every day is a day where evil distills further while the illusion of progress becomes more and more compelling. The future involves a perfect obfuscation of evil with an unshakable illusion of good — a perfect dystopia.

cool write up but i don't think it's necessarily that deep, the controversiality of this forum stems from the fact that we as humans value life and that the practice of willingly ending one's consciousness is unnatural

It's certainly very true that we exist in such a pro suffering society and humans that are so selfishly and cruelly brought into this world are the slaves to it. When suicide is purposely made so difficult then this existence is certainly prison like. This world is the true hell.
