How do people cope?

[OgreLTN]

We only get one shot at life. Our consciousness is a product of our DNA, meaning, there is no other possibility of you being born differently. There is no genetic lottery, because if your genes were different, it wouldn't be you. Knowing all this is, in my opinion, is liberating, because it means I can live life with no regrets. Everything is outside my control, and this is the only life where my consciousness exists. My DNA is me, so I take pride in it.

Even if you know all this, how can you cope?

There are some people whose existence is so miserable, that not even acknowledging this fact and trying to internalize the whitepill can help. Truly, life was an error, it shouldn't exist. Every time I see a deformed person, or a 4'10" Indian janitor, it just ruins my day. It's also crazy how people are oblivious to this. In the sense that people don't acknowledge the profound impact of genetic misfortune. They just think that being borderline deformed if just a minor negative, that you won't get pretty privilege and that's it.

Exactly this happened the other day. I was out with some friend and went to have dinner. We saw a legit truecel, who was deformed. My friend, whose pretty high IQ, was discussing with me this exact topic. We were talking about embryo selection to prevent suffering. And he said he preferred to be alive as a truecel (not with these words, since he's not autistic) than not to live at all, as in not being born. Even though he is pretty based, he is still a normie at heart. I nodded along, but how can he really think that? That poor truecel guy must live hell, and people are indifferent to it, or even hostile if you talk about their problems.

CRISPR is the future

Peter Wessel Zapffe argues that in order to avoid existential suffering, people need to make use of four defense mechanisms, namely:

• Anchoring (having something in you life that you care about, like a career, an ideology, or a social circle)
• Isolation (deliberately avoiding the contemplation of things like death or cosmic insignificance)
• Distraction (doing stuff that is engaging and/or fun)
• Sublimation (using creative outlets like painting or poetry to deal with your negative emotions)

"I'm pretty sure that everyone I know, and I would go so far as pretty much everyone period, would agree that someone who doesn't have anything going on in their life that they care about, spends all of their time thinking about death and decay, never does anything fun and doesn't have any creative outlet for their emotional anguish is going to be pretty miserable."

There are even some mentions about the Blackpill there, but I agree that it is one of the most BASED subreddits there exists.

That's what the white pill is supposed to fight. I don't have enough life experience to say for sure. Fraternity/community may help.

This is absolutely true. When I see the notifications my brain gets filled with dopamine.

CRISPR is the future

Scientists just made CRISPR three times more effective

Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By wrapping CRISPR’s tools in spherical DNA-coated nanoparticles, researchers tripled gene-editing...

Then become what you must. Become . . . the Warrior of Darkness.

I was dealt some pretty shitty hands in life, but not many things that make me an incel thankfully, I was also given things to be thankful for.

Things that I was given that was shit:

Severe childhood allergies, also linked to severe asthma (this is definitely the worst)
Balding since my 20s
Schizophrenia
Abusive and neglectful parents

Things I was given that I'm thankful for:

High iq (not quite genius)
Good height (6 foot)
Being white (LOL) and being born in Canada
Good back genetics for strength sports and bodybuilding

I cope by telling myself "things could be worse".

Things can indeed BE WORSE, but they are not. Honestly, we are all just hanging on a weak thread strectched over the abyss. Illnesses, poverty, tragedy, and so on... No salvation, but death.

Yeah white is the new chad, once I take care of my weight problem I'll be doing a lot better.

Balding is brutal. No finasteride?

Balding is brutal. No finasteride?

I tried fin and it gave me sexual problems (inability to orgasm properly) so I had no choice but to stop... It was doing wonders for my hair growing back though.

Even with a low dose? Did you have acne before and did it also improve with fin?

Yeah I was on the lowest dose, I never had problems with acne thankfully, I have had friends who had terrible acne, lol kids in school would tell them it was because they didnt shower.... which seems ironic because it seemed like the dirty kids always had acne problems.
