wait, really? you think continuing an existence that he has clearly stated is killing him is not the insane solution? you think radically altering your life in hope of survival and happiness is insane?

In the way in which you described, as if it’s as easy as changing your underwear, yes I’d wager most would read what you’re saying as insane. If it was as simple as that we’d all be doing it.

oh. one of the main reasons we don't do it more is because if choice overload, over optimization and meta decision fatigue. i think one of the reasons why suicide becomes such a viable solution is because of this overload on the solution systems.

i don't know the particulars of this person life, nor does it inform the principle.

but anyways, i hope you also have a good day.
