Why is it that in our culture you can't even suggest suicide might sometimes be a rational, autonomous decision without everyone instantly defaulting to "sin" or "mental illness"? Centuries of theology said life is God's property, then psychiatry took over and said no one who kills themselves is ever "in their senses" and now we're stuck in this weird binary where suicide is either a moral failure or a symptom. If philosophers like David Hume argue there should be space for a free choice to die, why does our culture give us zero room to even talk about it?

Are you Paraguayan or using a VPN?

In Canada there’s no taboo about suicide. It’s not celebrated but people accept it as part of life.

Circumised man called it a sin, cause your life belong to Heaven Israel or smth, but not to (you). Over.

But why talk about it? Just do it and people will have to make peace with it. I have found when people die nobody ever speaks of them again like they didn’t exist.

Mba'éichapa my Paraguayan anon. I noticed you've been posting some real philosophical shit lately.

My argument is because a dead goyim can't pay taxes.

If you frame it in terms of terminal illness with lots of suffering, vs an early death, you can get a lot of people to drop the self righteousness about suicide. In general though, I suspect that it is taboo because humans have emotional attachments to one another and are afraid of death. I feel like this is probably the default state, and that rational suicide is only a part of a developed and sophisticated culture that can overcome fear of death
