Discussion Some reasons to want to ctb

[Old]

I'm thinking of how cooked we are. AI is taking over everything, art, coding, writing...

We are each day forced to do and learn things we don't like. I know this was always this way, but it's getting worse.

I suffer from anxiety and on top of that, I get super hopeless about my future plans. Almost feels like I won't reach them, and if I do, I won't be strong enough to face them in order to keep the rythm of that new life.

Every day I feel more insecure and physically fatigued. But yeah I'm just venting right now.

Going back, I can't believe just how real this feels to us. We live at most 80 or so years on average, out of millions of years this planet has existed. Why is it such a big deal? This could be an argument to live to the fullest, but also could be a point in favour of ctb, because it doesn't matter anyways, why suffer?

Just wanted to share this, and hopefully someone else sees how absurd living is. Eternal peace is the ultimate reward.

I agree with what you've said here. Although my primary reason to CTB is the death of my partner, I am also pretty scared for my future. I work in a field which has been more or less wiped out by AI (translation), so work opportunities aren't going to be plentiful. I was considering a career in academia, but universities across the UK are closing language departments, including the uni I'm doing my PhD at, so that's not looking great.

It's certainly a minor thing for me, but it all adds up to make CTB more of a definite choice.

I can see this happening to my job as well. Getting nutrition advice from an all-knowing computer would be much cheaper than hiring a dietitian.

I wish this were guaranteed. The only thing that's holding me back from ctb is the uncertainty of death. We don't know what'll happen and never will until it inevitably happens. I just hope whatever happens or doesn't happen after is better than this.
