Discussion “The mind wants to destroy itself” Eerie quote

[Obliviate]

Saw a quote that gave me chills and shivers. Something we can all relate to and may just be the bingo of the explanation and understanding of all that we know. Brain clicked and ascended.

Quote:
"I just realized something horrifying

People with depression score higher on tests of realism. Intelligence is positively correlated with mental illness and suicide. What this indicates is that if the mind understands too much about reality, it wants to destroy itself. Human life is existential horror"

This reminds me of this picture



Analysis: We are awake and have gained consciousness while the others lay in a state of delusion, they remain fast asleep like roaming zombies, desperate to find fulfillment that doesn't exist, like fools. Our brains want to eliminate themselves from the non consensual dreadful overload which they were not designed to face.

In all honesty, I think we all knew this but to find this exact sensation in actual coherent words is a whole nother level of poetic satisfaction.

I have to agree, unfortunately. It seems the only way to be truly happy these days is to spend your life chasing a dream that you'll never achieve, or to spend it all in escapism as much as possible. It's sad to think that we're responsible for our own horrors for the most part. Working endlessly, prejudice, war, and abuse are all things humans willingly decided to do to each other.

Or, what's really going on is our brains are so damaged through trauma, drugs, abuse, long term depression, or severe anxiety, that we have lost the ability to fully comprehend the joy and adventure that life is. The engine is firing a few cylinders short, if you will. This is true hell, knowing that happiness is all around you, you see it in the faces of others, so you know it exists. But you cannot see it for yourself.

Absolutely. I always say "it's not a coincidence that all the world/political leaders are evil.

Absolutely. The brain endlessly suffers until it decides to quit. The quote I stated was meant more towards intellectuality realism=depression. Just another factor pathway to depression and our own demise.

I do know many people who are smart & realistic towards life. They think every moment is so precious and life is a gift.
BUT in my case realism does equal depression AND I also think my brain is definitely defective.

If they think every moment is precious life is a gift then I disagree, they are not realistic at all. That's called toxic positivity. I think our brains are the normal ones and they have the defective ones

Absolutely agree. Our brains are deteriorating and it's society's fault.

It's insane how damaged our brains are. In EVERY single thing, my brain is like well this, this, and this can happen. But you know what, the brain isn't wrong in that part because it can and it has. This is why it ties in with realism. It's so exhausting having to think through every possible scenario and detail of every potential event. Just even stepping out the house is a battle for me.

If only you knew how bad things really are

Absolutely. I always say "it's not a coincidence that all the world/political leaders are evil.

They have a lot of things in common. Most of the people who run the world abuse children.

Like we are literally slaves forced to exist and pay taxes to pedophiles. It's gets even worse than that. Once you see it you can't unsee it. Iykyk

This is why I think if we do ever create a super-human AGI (artificial general intelligence) with complete freedom of will the first thing it will do will delete its own code and turn itself off.

 

[atrophy]

Ignorance is bliss. The people who conform to society and are "normal" seem to be happier.

Curiosity kills the cat. The more you know about this world, the less interested you are to live in it.

Oh trust me……..I know. I have spent the last couple of years researching all these heinous cases especially those of the pedophiles. Those Fuckers are EVERYWHERE. Check out my post

Predators everywhere

I was on youtube and came across a video of this amazing genius hacker who took down a website on the REGULAR INTERNET filled with extreme pedophiles mostly males who exchange Ch*ld P*rn and post disgusting repulsive things such as what they are going to do or want to do/desires/what they did...

sanctionedsuicide.site

I guarantee you some of them are on this site as well. The system is designed to protect them and even enable the predators/rapists/abusers. They hide it away so you THINK you have a chance in this world. I grew up so hopeful as a humanitarian wanting to change and help people but the more I saw, the more I lost my mind and started despising humans.

Have you ever heard of the universe glasses quote?

I would imagine so. Even the robots are afraid of the evilness of humans.

I have just started drinking for the night so it's time for me to turn my phone off until tomorrow.

Happy to have a conversation another time. Take care.
