If you could press a button and make it so you were never born, would you?

[mylifeistrash]

What stops me from blowing my brains out is making my parents suffer and making people having to deal with my corpse, funerals, etc.

But if I was never born I could prevent all of that.

If you could simply press a button and never exist, would you? It would be the same feeling of how the word was the billions of years that came before the point you were born.

 

[NateH]

absolutely

 

[ihaveno1]

Yes x1000

 

[Deleted member 22999]

nah. i find the idea of not existing anymore really strange, although I do think about it a lot. I’ve often felt that I wish I was dead but didnt have to kill myself. But tbh that was mostly spur of the moment thinking. I don’t think I’d ever be able to kill myself or press this button or whatever if I’m completely serious. Kinda like how you can’t bite off your own finger

Describe that feeling. Describe that experience, for eternity.

 

[Deleted member 21908]

[BraincelsRefugee]

would be amazing if this existed

 

[Deleted member 1252]

FUCKING YES ​

[Deleted member 25467]

I would rather have a button that takes away my urges to find a female. I would be so free

 

[Gyros_Pretcel]

Sounds based.

100% yes

 

[Mulattocel]

Another three years just to see if this really is permanent and then I’d be ready

 

[Deleted member 21821]

[Alone75]

Yep, it'd be for the best.

Holy shit, caring about your parents dealing with corpse, sounds cucked. If your parents loved you more your life would be better.

Hell no, I'm a force for good in this world and there are things I enjoy about life despite my dry dick

Why don't you kill yourself, then? You have no reason not to do it.

 

[To_Live_is to_Serve]

I've been divided on the issue my whole life. I'll kill myself on a specific date later this year anyway.
My maternal grandparents were moral role models but they have died.
I would not spare my parents pain; they have been immoral against me and others.
I've been 100% sure I'd press a button to kill the whole humanity, all life on earth and make life physically impossible in the universe since I was 5 years old. My own life is not important in the grand scheme. I must have always been a smart moral person.

 

[thePhantom]

Definitely. Have had the same thoughts. Can't get psychologically past the gore and grief associated with a suicide, but that button would do the trick. Or better yet, a button to make the entire world, galaxies and all, never have existed.

 

[Joelossus]

Describe that feeling. Describe that experience, for eternity.

There're no feelings, there isn't anything. Nothing that can experience, the complete absence of something, that hasn't actually been there to begin with.

 

[Deleted member 14577]

yes, existence has proved itself as a net loss

 

[happiless]

yes lad

 

[Depressed_Trucel]

But what would it be like to "not be?" If I'm pressing the button, something has to happen.

 

[Irishcel]

The prospect of non-existence terrifies me

 

[Joelossus]

But what would it be like to "not be?" If I'm pressing the button, something has to happen.

You simply stop being. It's like a dreamless sleep, i suppose. You won't be there, to observe the bleakness of non existence. It's impossible to image, since all we know is existence. Non existence is the polar opposite of everything we ever experienced.

So what am I hoping to achieve by pressing the button? What am I hoping to experience?

 

[Admiral_Arkantos]

I'd save it for later

 

[HostileWaters]

Yes

You're hoping to never having to expierience anything ever again. That's the whole point of it. People like me who would like to press the button, are tired of existing. Imo, there's simply nothing that can be gained by living this futile life. Well exept for a few meaningless pleasures, that will never actually fullfill you, and are in fact just reductions in negative utility, without any intrinsic value. If you disagree with what i just said, and want to keep experience something. Your answer to Op's question would probably be a big fat no.

I want to understand the concept. Doesn't the concept at least intrigue you? To go from feeling things, to feeling nothing? If it can happen, it has to be describable.

 

[ManletHalfCurry]

100% yes I would
