how do i get an optimistic view on life?
there is nothing to look forward to these days except fathering children and watching them grow up. literally everything else about the world that is not your inner family circle is getting worse year by year.
>>33842390The world is mostly evil. You can transmute evil into good. Nothing else matters besides that.
>>33842434there is no good or evil. we are just the first intelligent organisms to populate the planet and are destined to deplete it's resources and destroy for a long time in the process. everything we do is blueprinted in our DNA same way it is in bacteria and all living beings. all the nepotism, all the cheating, all the better-me-than you mentality, everything is just there to maximize your own offspring. even stephen hawking cheated on his wife ffs. all the existentialism philosophy is shit and never found an answer to what else matters and what is worth living if morality and even identity are fake concepts.the good news is, we will devolve back to cavemen once the industrial age is over and that will be the state that us humans as animals are supposed to be in. our true self
>>33842473>once the industrial age is overIt will never be over. Each year we find ways to do more with the same amount of resources For example, I can comparison shop, pick a product and order it in a 2-3 minutes thanks to the Internet. I can remember when I would have to spend hours walking around stores or hunting through thick paper catalogues to find stuff. We will soon (actually, already do) have factories and warehouses that are largely robotic. The cost of getting to orbit is a tiny fraction what it was 30 years ago. That leads on to the availability of literally unlimited raw materials and energy in our solar system. The hunt for exoplanets becomes more efficient each year with better instruments. We will soon have a ranked list of Earth-like planets within a few tens of light years. It is estimated that 20-50% of stars have at least one rocky planet in their habitable zone. That would be dozens that could be reached within a human lifetime, travelling at, say, 0.5c. But space habitats will be able to support trillions of people just within the solar system, many times the living space of earth, even if we never get to the other stars (but realistically, small probes can be accelerated up to that speed with near-term technology such as space lasers. The turn around time until their data of what they find as they fly though an alien system would get back to us within a century.And don't get me started on life-extension, having almost forever to find love and fulfilment...
>>33842528nigga, even space daddy Elon stopped selling this grifter bullshit and fully embraced doomerism and natalism/darwinism (as in his own kids and kids of the same race should populate the rest of the soon to be destroyed planet). We are done for, accept it.
>>33842555>nigga, even space daddy Elon stopped selling this grifter bullshit and fully embraced doomerismSo the fuck what? You really going to base your life ideology on some fucking retard billionaire whining on social media? Christ, have some self-respect.
>>33842473what is the redditor saying? somebody translate
>>33842555Where's the grift? Launch cost per kg is now a few percent of its historical price. I have no idea what you're talking about regarding Musk, and it doesn't matter. He is just one among many such people and entities working on space travel. You have zero justification for claiming that the planet will be destroyed. Don't project your own misery onto others.>t. Boomer wondering why so many Zoomers are uninterested in future possibilities.
>>33842555cont: the only thing I disagree with that autistic retard is that those future generations should be intelligent, so future children should be bred/selected for their intelligence. we will have a feudal in best case and postapocalyptic environment in worst case of whatever will be inhabitable in the future. being physically strong, being able to give birth naturally, having a good immune system and slow metabolism will be features that will be important in the future again, not any of that academic shit that matters today. even then, the chances of survival will be slim. the best you can do now, except reproduce, is relocating to an environment where being self sufficient is possible and that will most likely shut the doors if SHTF (unlike Germany durig Syria war). Or just be a member of the ruling class, especially from China, then you can select ad hoc when the time comes - the native populations will probably be wiped out anyway.
>>33842577>self-respectdoesn't matter. loving or hating yourself or others doesn't matter. nothing matters in the end because everything comes back to the need to reproduce just like any animal. animals don't have self respect because it's not necessary to fulfill their biological imperative. there is no point to trying to please others or accomplish your goals because they are just imaginary tasks created by your subconscious that your lizard brain thinks will assist you in passing down your genes. musicians dream of being famous because the fame and wealth makes them look appealing to the opposite sex, which means they can produce as many children as possible. that's it.
>>33842596vast parts of the earth are becoming uninhabitable, sending billions of people into migration. borders cannot be controlled because humans are empathetic by nature. you shoot too many women and children and our species/group preservation instincts kick in and they will doom the rest of us. those space minerals do not mean shit when we have no fucking drinking water or food
>>33842609You talk about reproduction, anon, but do you have any children?
>>33842613Nothing good exists because some smart alec cynic sat around pointing out problems.
>>33842609Why do things reproduce?
>>33842609Things exist outside the biological imperative to reproduce. If reproduction was all the mattered you'd be trying to invent a copy machine that just cranks out endless clones of yourself. Shoo with your high school tier philosophical angst.
>>33842613>vast parts of the earth are becoming uninhabitable, sending billions of people into migration. borders cannot be controlled because humans are empathetic by nature. you shoot too many women and children and our species/group preservation instincts kick in and they will doom the rest of us. those space minerals do not mean shit when we have no fucking drinking water or foodYour doom scenario is contra-factual. The actual figures from the UN and other institutions indicate that nearly all nations are getting a bit richer each year - some more than others, of course. Birth rates are dropping everywhere, except one continent for reasons I won't go into here. Migration is the result of demographic warfare by a certain group, but their evil career is nearing an end, I believe.
>>33842628I have pointed out solutions in the posts above as well. have children, relocate to places with fish and fertile land and small population like Ireland, Iceland or New Zealand and that is it. you can't do more if you want to participate in the game of darwinism and max out your chances.or just accept that none of your identity remains when you die and your children will have nothing to do with "you" - them surviving is not a winning move because they might be anyones children once you are gone. in that case, simply enjoy your life in hedonism with hookers and drugs.
>>33842649https://www.deccanherald.com/world/sex-worker-reveals-end-of-the-world-on-global-elites-mind-in-davos-report-3374229totally aligns with the world view of elon, peter thiel, putin and dugin. those people should be pretty realistic about the future, since they do have all the information and see the full picture. but even mentioning Davos will probably just trigger your antisemitic /pol/ reflexes, so whatever
>>33842390Hi OP, to answer your original question (before the thread was hijacked), I might suggest the writings of FM Esfandiary.
>>33842698thanks anon
>>33842677>antisemitic /pol/ reflexesLOL, a bit triggered are we? I didn't name the group.
>>33842710why should I be? I also don't like kikes. you are just wrong about them. them being involved in everything is just a parasitic preservation tactic. but they have nothing to win from killing the host. they are involved in all sides of the political spectrum. and they are not all-powerful but will fucking die with the rest of humanity once people start fighting for food and water.
>>33842729>they are involved in all sides of the political spectrumThey are indeed, but their intra-group differences are of tactics and speed ("left" and "right"), not of goals. The fact that they might die in your doomsday scenario has nothing to do with their dynamic, ala the fable of The Scorpion and the Frog.
>>33842743the point is neither getting rid of them nor relying on them thinking they have some sort of master plan for humanity, will save us. nobody can change the laws of physics. people will fight over resources in the next 100 years and we will see a lot of genocides and ultimately anarchy and chaos. the best we can hope for, it will be a gradual process. the worst case is, some natural mechanisms of cooling down the earth or financial ones stabilizing world markets will collapse and we will have people killing each other for food within months. I still do remember people fighting over fucking toilet paper during covid. the government is fucking useless. nobody would be there to save you.
>>33842390This is the one advice my daddy gave me. Never give up. Get off 4chan. Ignore these doomers that dont know shit. Just always get up and try again. Life can be beautiful.
>>33842390I grew up abused, badly. Beatings and emotional abuse from my older sister, neglected by mom who enabled my abuse as long as it meant she didn't have to do anything about it, dad was absent selling heroin and doing meth. I had few if any friends, was dirt poor, and any time something good came my way my sister would break it or it would get stolen.All I had was spite. At that point anyone would become jaded and horrible, right? I became very manipulative and Machiavellian, I knew what it was like to be in the underdog situation, knew what desperate souls were longing to hear, dying to feel. I took advantage of peoples weakness with a silver tongue inherited from a bloodline of pimps and drug dealers to indebt others to me. I built, crafted and carefully curated an image of myself as someone who really cared about people under to get what I wanted, and what I wanted I got. Companionship, sex, more weed than I could smoke, food than I could eat, booze than I could drink. I fixed up a car and basically lived out of it like a nomad. Somewhere along the way I realized I wasn't acting or manipulating, I really did to reinvent myself. I made deep and genuine connections, I became generous with my time and assets, developed a knack as a handyman and a deep satisfaction for being the guy people came to for help. What I thought was manipulation became genuine empathy and I managed to help a lot of people through some serious low points. I thought I was acting out of spite but I really was changing for the better. I didn't steal my happiness from others, I built it with them.I became the kind of person I wished I had when I was young, the change I wanted to see in the world. It could be argued that is a perfect revenge on the people who tried to break me down, but I choose to see it as finding a way out.Things stay shit if you *let* them stay shit. The world sucks but you can brighten up your little part of it if you try.

You have a nerve invading the thread, so fuck off.
>>33842998this is the advice board. OP asked how to be optimistic, and this discussion is about why he shouldn't be. it is not off-topic.
>>33842390mental strength and power
Hopefully chinks find some way to keep humanity going as whites become extinct. Indians? Kek
>>33842390I was on the verge of suicide (actually) and I started playing old school runescape. Shit saved my life. Turned me from an INTP into an ENFJ. I'm a totally optimistic now and every day I wake up with purpose.
>optimistic view Sounds fucking terrible and boring Pretty hard stying optimistic and positive in this perverted day and age. I wish I could put on a happy mask and pretend everything is wonderful and fine, but in reality it's not. This life is a temporary illusion filled with perverted degeneracy, diseases, war, oppression, pig swine rulers. The only truth in reality is Islam. Submitting yourself to the one true creator Allah. Al-Mustawrid reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “What is the parable of this worldly life, in comparison to the Hereafter, but one of you dipping his finger in the sea? Let him see what he brings forth.”
>>33842698I should add How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie. Highly recommended.
>>33842390Objectively you could be in a real hell hole in africa or *nd*aWe don't suffer in the west, there's plenty to be happy about
