Is there a theory for ~ "life is a trap/better die asap"

Featured Replies

Hi

I'm sorry I know my previous thread looked more like depressed thoughts rather that an invite to discussion about a precise subject

I'm interested about solipsism, determinism, and the simulation hypothesis

(which can make life a bit sad lol when you believe in these)

Do you know if there is a theory saying things like:

  • finality is death so it might be a "win" to reach it asap

  • we are coded to try to live, being afraid to die, so maybe managing to do the opposite/hacking self preservation would be "the way to win"

  • it might be smart to die asap to see what comes next instead of being "slave of self preservation"

?

Do you see what I mean?

Like the idea to hack/bypass the life and refuse to be a slave of self-preservation/happiness seeking etc, to go to the next step directly

I could have asked chatgpt but i thought it was more interesting to ask you, to see if you have ideas/beliefs about this subject

Try reading Hamlet.

But also perhaps, see a doctor. Or a priest.
