Just take life as it is. If you want to enjoy life for something else or for an identity that is separate from it then you'll always end up unsatisfied. Otherwise, there's the door; there's no shame on being dead matter. If you don't think it's worth it, just go.

maybe they arent doing it in a underground bunker

Yes. For one thing, physical activity promotes the regular release of endorphins, which help improve and regulate one's mood. Second, mastery of one's body leads to inherent confidence, which positively affects all activity, both social and personal. Third, it's fun if you do it right.

dosent realy work like that, suicide happens when some critical functions fail, you cant just 'take the exit' the organism dosent work that way

>>2254835

but i do a fuckton of physical activity on a daily basis and it only makes me tired and agressive

the lesson from the experiment: have personal space.

>>2254854

actualy thats a common misconception

the problem wasnt that there was to little space, even tho that was literaly the control factor, the problem was that they ran out of 'places' in things like social hierarchy and organisation, they stopped performing roles and learning adequate, socialy adapted behavior

If you are secular then you accept the fact that there is no inherent reason for us to exist

It can be shocking at first and thats why many people refuse to accept it (and why they want to be religious, because it gives their live meaning), because it scares them to accept that their life as no real meaning, that they are not here to fulfill some type of plan or that they arent part of something bigger.

But if you are brave enough to accept it you can just suicide since there is no objective goal/meaning in life or you can just use your life to pursue virtue, happiness, or whatever the fuck you want to do.

that makes abstract logical sense but the body dosent function that way

interesting.
not being able to split to 2 groups was still a space issue as far as i understand.
also, iirc only 1 of 4 groups went extinct.

>taking calhoun's 60s experiments as gospel
>not realizing behavioral science has long moved on
>not realizing that mice are not primates and primates have specific adaptations to group living even when faced with increased population densities

I'm sick of malthusian faggots shilling Calhoun to the neglect of fifty years worth of research.

Yes I know we are biologically designed to survive even if you have the shittiest life ever, I myself considered suicide many times but my biological instincts keep me from doing it (AKA no balls) so I just accept that Im going do die whenever nature or society kills me and try to get the "most" out of life (you can define most as you want, for me is trying to become as virtuous and happy as I can)

>>2254873

because, as calhoun himself pointed out, the problem wasnt density, not as such

How do you know? Have you tried?

>>2254911

>>2254917
You should just go get a doctor then. /his/ can't help you.

Nietzsche died of brain cancer. Philosophy won't cure a broken arm. Go to a doctor, then think about what to do with your life. And in the end Nietzsche won't present you with much than more my posts when it comes to choosing life. I'm sorry, but there're no magic recipes.
