The sad part is that there's a not insignificant number of people out there who would honestly rather embrace the human instrumentality project and never look back.
It's established scientific knowledge that people who are suicidal don't actually want to die. They just want to make the suffering stop.
Speak for yourself.
I mean, yes, in general every person is speaking for themselves. In this case I'm just reporting what people with suicidal ideation and survivors of suicide attempts report in therapy.
I joke, in bad taste. You are right, though The facts are clear. Most people who are suicidal are just looking for a way to stop some type of suffering.
Having said that, I do think it’s important to recognize that this does not apply to all “suicides.” An old person who wants to end their life, because they feel that they’ve lived a full life is technically suicidal. They deserve the right to end their life.
Except he's right.
In my understanding they want to kill a part of them. The part that makes them suffer.
Throw a suicidal person into the ocean and they'll still tread water
Don't kink shame me for wanting to become fanta
Yeah, I mean honestly human soup doesn't sound all that terrible...
