Discussion Would you do the human experience over again or no?

[Superdeterminist]

NOT this one, that's for sure. I'd do the life of whoever suffered the least and enjoyed themselves the most. Probably some rich attractive person somewhere. I don't want to be mentally retarded even if someone like that enjoys life the most.

 

[Journeytoletgo]

Actually I change my mind guys I wouldn't do this over just to die and lose every thing even if I was genetically lucky NO thanks

 

[deletednumber]

Yes ... but with the loving and joyful life I deserved

 

[Shu]

Yeah, I would want to come back to a world of famine, war, greed, injustice, poverty, disease and stupidity. What a wonderful idea!

Blame the europeans.

 

[Jack4230]

No

 

[Lost Magic]

Blame the europeans.

Oh, yeah, let's play the blame game. Because that solves so many problems.

 

[watchingthewheels]

No.

 

[Disappointered]

Of course not. Even the lucky winners have to know deep down that there's something fundamentally wrong with all of this. Unless they're douchebags, i guess.

 

[StarryStarry]

The only way I would do it over is if I knew the outcome would be different (positive not this negative shit). If the outcome were the same HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Deadly_Intention]

My first thought was hell no.
But if you were given another chance with better choices ahead to take then I could consider.
My childhood was abusive physically and mentally basically everyday even on my birthdays (I hate birthdays now). Not much choice there.
My teenage years were spent being molested/raped. Not much choice there.
The first guy I was ever consensual with, ended up having a baby and I was stuck with him ever since. There were possible choices of abortion (but the fear of being doomed to hell turned me to not do that, I was very naiive being only 17 at the time), and sure I could have left the relationship but I had no work at that time and the 3 times I tried to leave in the last 16 years he basically just refused it like it was an offer of some sorts. Guessing my mental illness makes him think I'm not serious when I say the words "I don't want to be with you anymore"
I'm just weakness personified.

Heck, scratch that.
I choose not to come back at all. This life has been too much.

 

[_Minsk]

Just the fact that this suffering is possible makes me want to never come back.

 

[Darkover]

hell no, life just a living hell enslaved in awful shit in a shithole and hellhole, none of these lives are worth coming alive for. this place is just a write-off a one way trip in hell

 

[mytime]

If I was guaranteed persisting, ultimate success and mental health throughout all my endeavours, yes. But that's not 'the human experience', because that is just suffering.

 

[headwood]

I'd be a human again (assuming I get to be someone entirely different) at any era in time up until the early 2000s. I don't want any part of the hyper-technocractic shitshow of the 2010s and 2020s and whatever the hell is coming beyond that.

 

[Graytaichi]

No for sure

 

[Looooser]

The human experience.... No. But if I could come back as an eagle or maybe a shark..... That might be cool.

 

[Oblivion Access]

On one hand, I'd like to experience what it's like to not be in the head of a shell of a human being who never had a chance to experience things like love etc that really make life enjoyable for some.

On the other... fuck no lol. The BEST you can hope for is eventually withering away, watching everything you love wither away and die and then dying yourself. No thank you.

 

[Rational man]

I think the human existence experiment has failed. Ive lived once and thats enough for me.

 

[corvoscuro]

Yes, as another person or the same but without the health issues I have to deal with.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

Yes if I could be less confused and lost

 

[whatevs]

I don't think so. I'm getting really tired of whatever that we are doing in here.

If there is some choice or something that still remains after I ctb, then never ever again in a million years! I am seriously hoping that nothing is there and this life was just a mistake and I was a cosmic aberration. And when I die, that is hopefully the end. Life is a really cruel dark joke for me. And the worst part is that,you can never know the dark truth until you have gone through the required experiences and after that it seems inevitable and too late.

Welp, I actually decided some years ago exactly the polar opposite of the aberration hypothesis, for me what makes sense is that we are some of what was supposed to emerge in the Universe, given it's nature and laws.

 

[Sea Turtle]

No, the state of the world will still be like this. I'll settle for nothing over another "chance"

 

[DisillusionedDragon]

Absolutely not. Worst nightmare.

 

[Ligottian]

No way.

 

[Treeline589]

No

 

[painofzed]

No.

 

[OldDrummer]

Let's say you can be re-born on a world with no suffering, pain, all is pleasure.

What do you think you'd actually learn from that life?

Yeah, I would want to come back to a world of famine, war, greed, injustice, poverty, disease and stupidity. What a wonderful idea!

Yes, if I could make it a better place, even in the smallest of ways.

I agree. If life was all pleasure it would be boring and pointless. But the amount of suffering that exists does not justify staying alive for its own sake.

Your stance is admirable. I once thought the same. Forcing myself to continue existing just to take away a drop of the ocean of suffering that is on this planet - I would not want to do that nor come back to do it again.

 

[Eternal Oblivion]

I think the general consensus in a suicide forum will be a no.
I change my mind about this topic, perhaps I would like another shoot (on my own life ofc) if I wasn't bound to the same mistakes, but other times I feel like one round was suffering enough.

 

[PerpetualPain]

I would kill for a 2nd chance at life.
