So if everyone is just a bunch of biorobots with no free will and we just suffer because of a mix of chemicals, experiences and memories, what’s exactly the point of living and how could a god just make us all suffer?

I’m an autistic guy with OCD so those disorders really truly make me have no hope for really anything with us in general.

Oh wow, I had absolutely no idea I was a biorobot.
What an original and deeply insightful observation. You should write a book with all this groundbreaking knowledge.

Your premise is wrong. Consciousness exists higher in the chain of cause and effect than body, and you suffer because of your own desires. You have the freedom to choose against desire in favor of wisdom and detachment, which is the purpose of life.

You can overcome your disorders, it's just a matter of effort, patience and humility. I used to have all sorts of obsessive compulsions growing up, but one by one I've cleared them out until there's nothing left but an abiding peace.

How did you come to the conclusion that we don't have free will?
I believe we do have it. It's not just because you have needs and organic demands that you absolutely need to act one way or another.

consciously knowing this and nevertheless deciding to rebel against the absurd

find your father and kick his ass
if you can't kick his ass as you are then work out in order to kick his ass
having a goal in life will help you out in other ways too

I choose to destroy the flaws of this universe if there is a god.

All my suffering never came to be from all this and even then I wouldn’t even know what to do from all the experience of what I went through
>>
>>34579510
If you don't have free will, what was the point of posting this question?
>>
>>34580699
There aren't any flaws in this universe. It's perfectly suited to teaching us the wisdom we need. It only seems flawed to someone who loves his own will more than the truth, or in other words to somebody who isn't receptive to wisdom and doesn't value it.

To you it seems, but nigga, i'm a pessimisitc misanthropic mothafucka and i've seen that we're just broken in so many ways
>>
>>34582828
That's what I mean. If you were wise and able to see the truth, you'd be optimistic and altruistic. Anyone can reach that point if they try and are willing to learn, but someone who tells himself that his misery is the truth is just dooming himself to it.

Your fate is in your hands and you can end your suffering by changing your patterns of thought.
>But I have OCD and autism and-
These put you at a disadvantage, but they do not lock you out of a satisfying life. There are schizophrenics who manage to find happiness. If you are sane enough to type your thoughts out, you are sane enough to build a psyche that can withstand your mental illnesses.

I recommend you begin by loving yourself unconditionally (cliche, but it works).
Then accept you have free will, even if your consciousness sometimes distorts the information available to your mind and its ability to act in accordance with your will.

Good luck.

I mean the schizophrenics get to see weird shit I have to recheck shit.
But yeah thank you
