Discussion If you had a button that just ended your life. Erasing all memories of your loved ones and you just disappear.

lol yeah it was a silly question to ask here

Anyone wanna co-op a story with me? I'll make a thread in the offtopic place, if anyone wants to add/contribute I think it'd be fun!

Over the years I've brought my parents closer, been a positive influence on various people and my wonderful ex-partner, from whom I was ripped by my abusive and nasty ex, has said that I completely changed her life for the better. So much as I don't value my own life, whether or not I would be willing to deprive those I have loved and cherished over the years of their memories of me, and deprive the world of the good I'm told I've brought to it (which admittedly, I do not see myself), that is a very difficult question.

Would the lives of everybody who has met me and has memories of me, ultimately be better if they'd not met me? If so then the utilitarian in me dictates that I would indeed press the button and retrospectively destroy any trace of my existence. But if those I love and care about were to suffer or be deprived as a result of me never having existed then as much as it pains me to stay here, I couldn't bring myself to push the button.

Have you tried authoring a book?

Haha no i havent. I did write a lot of short stories when i was like in middle school and stuff

 

[AnnonyBox]

I'm ambivalent as to whether I would or not. I suppose if it was only a once in a lifetime opportunity, I'd certainly lean in favor of it. If I couldn't decide I couldn always flip a coin, not like it matters much anyway.

Just for fun let's say you can access it anywhere, anytime. But someone has to swap places with all the memories, so you go to a heaven of your own, but you are not recognized for anything you've done in life, the other guy who you swapped with is (if that makes any sense, I'm writing this on the fly lol).

So if you married someone, had kids etc, a random guy takes credit for all the nice (and bad) things you did, the random guy continues to live with no memory of dying. But your soul goes into the pool, but in a heaven of itself.

I'm picturing a large pool of souls that this magic stone can pull from. Also the stone feeds off memories so sometimes they get scrambled and you get another souls memories.

Come over to the offtopic place and gimme some ideas! They were great

 

[Meditation guide]

If I had an easy way out I wouldn't still be here. I would have been gone a long time ago.

So, you promise me a free copy once you pen your first book. That's generous.

 

[catsarecool]

Yes and yes.

To the original question, yes I would press it. While reading the answers I'm curious to know what are those things some people say they want to do before pressing. Like something they're wanted the most. I get if it is something that you waste your all money to something silly, after that it can be hard to carry the consequences. But in general, even little things you want to do might be possible to do now already. I wonder is something people want to do something a bit too controversial that they just wouldn't want to live with their face afterwards and be known someone who did x or y.

 

[Random_guy2]

That would be a perfect way to exit.

 

[Elbarado]

Lets say one opportunity / 1 press of the button, but you can press it whenever. So you only got one chance but know where it's at
edit: so if you go there and don't push it when you want to, the button disappears

yes

This has given me a great idea to add to my mini-story

 

[Bct]

[draw a circle]
