[PREFACE: THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE I EVER SHARE WITH ANYONE. I URGE ANYONE READING THIS TO PLEASE DO THEIR BEST TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING CONVEYED BELOW. I HAVE SPENT THE PAST YEAR OF MY LIFE INTENSELY STUDYING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FOLLOWING IDEAS, AND I AM STILL LEARNING MORE ABOUT HOW MUCH IT MATTERS. THERE IS NO GOING BACK NOW. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.]
THE MAIN REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE STUPID
THE POLLYANNA PRINCIPLE:
“THE POLLYANNA PRINCIPLE (ALSO CALLED THE POLLYANNAISM OR POSITIVITY BIAS) IS THE TENDENCY FOR PEOPLE TO AGREE WITH POSITIVE STATEMENTS DESCRIBING THEM.” SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollyanna_principle
EVOLUTIONARILY SPEAKING, HUMANS HAVE TAUGHT THEMSELVES TO SUBJECTIVELY LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS. THIS IS A COPING MECHANISM USED TO HELP PEOPLE GET THROUGH TOUGH TIMES. IT SERVES AS A POWERFUL MOTIVATOR IN ONE’S PSYCHOLOGY. “EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. I CAN DO THIS. THINGS WILL GET BETTER. SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE.”
OBVIOUSLY, HOWEVER, PUTTING A POSITIVE SPIN ON REALITY IS IRRELEVANT TO WHAT’S ACTUALLY OCCURRING. IF WE ARE TO ASSESS WHAT IS OCCURRING FROM A NEUTRAL PERSPECTIVE, WE WOULD HAVE TO CONCLUDE, BASED ON STRONG EVIDENCE, THAT THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF LIFE SIMPLY OUTWEIGH THE POSITIVE ASPECTS.

FAULTY LOGIC:
PEOPLE OPERATE UNDER THE FALSE PREMISE THAT SUCCESSFULLY FEELING GOOD ABOUT ONE’S SELF, JUSTIFIES ANY LOSS THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED IN DOING SO. QUITE LITERALLY, EMOTIONALISM IS USED TO JUSTIFY PERPETUAL SUFFERING. RATIONALISM, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS NOT TOP PRIORITY. THE PROOF LIES IN THE QUESTION OF NEED. FOR EXAMPLE: WHAT RATIONAL REASON IS THERE TO PROCREATE? WHY IS LIFE NEEDED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
PEOPLE ASSIGN MEANING TO LIFE, YET SEEMINGLY NO ONE QUESTIONS WHY PROCREATION IS JUSTIFIED. IN FACT, INSTEAD OF PEOPLE QUESTIONING WHY PROCREATION IS A RATIONAL DECISION, PEOPLE FIRST IMPOSE LIFE, AND THEN RATIONALIZE WHY IT IS OKAY AFTERWARD. BUT IF PEOPLE WERE TO ASSESS REALITY AS IT IS, THEY WOULD RECOGNIZE THAT CREATING LIFE SERVES NO NEED IN THE UNIVERSE. NONETHELESS, SEEMINGLY ALL LIVING THINGS ARE READY TO REPRODUCE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, IF CAPABLE.
PEOPLE MUST NOT ALLOW THEMSELVES TO ACT ON A PREMISE WITHOUT PROOF OF A PREMISE FIRST. PEOPLE BELIEVE IN GOD, YET THERE IS NO PROOF OF GOD. PEOPLE ACT AS IF BEARING OFFSPRING IS NECESSARY, YET THERE IS NO PROOF THAT PROCREATION IS NEEDED IN THE UNIVERSE. EVERYTHING WE LIVE FOR IS TO AVOID PAIN, AND TO EMBRACE PLEASURE. BUT WE MUST ASK OURSELVES WHY THIS IS THE CASE, AND SUCH A QUESTION IS BEST ANSWERED THROUGH AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS. IF WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE FUNCTION OF THE UNIVERSE, THEN WE CAN DETERMINE HOW TO BEHAVE.
RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT THE FUNCTION OF THE UNIVERSE IS TO PRODUCE BLACK HOLES:

SOURCE 2:
LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE WAS COMPLETELY ACCIDENTAL. IN THE UNIVERSE, EARTH IS THE ONLY PLANET KNOWN TO HAVE SENTIENT LIFE. THE CHANCES OF SUCH AN EVENT OCCURRING ARE EXTREMELY CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS NO COMPELLING REASON TO THINK SENTIENT LIFE HAS OCCURRED ON OTHER PLANETS.
IF THESE ASSERTIONS ARE TRUE, THEN THE JUSTIFICATIONS PEOPLE USE TO PROLONG LIFE AND ALSO IMPOSE LIFE ARE INTELLECTUALLY UNJUSTIFIED.
INTRODUCING ANTI-NATALISM:
“ANTI-NATALISM IS A PHILOSOPHICAL POSITION THAT ASSIGNS A NEGATIVE VALUE TO BIRTH, STANDING IN OPPOSITION TO NATALISM.” SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinatalism
LIFE FEEDS ON LIFE. LIFE DOES ALL IT CAN TO SURVIVE. LIFE WILL LIE, CHEAT, AND STEAL IF IT MEANS HAVING TO SURVIVE. LIFE IS DISHONEST BECAUSE LIFE IS DESPERATE TO SURVIVE BECAUSE LIFE IS AN ACCIDENT THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN. ONE CAN NOT SAY WITH HONESTY THAT LIFE IS A GOOD THING, BECAUSE LIFE IS INHERENTLY NEGATIVE. PEOPLE ARE DISINTERESTED IN THE TRUTH OF HOW REALITY WORKS, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT FEELING GOOD THAN UNDERSTANDING WHAT MATTERS. SCIENCES ARE EXTREMELY UNPOPULAR COMPARED TO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. EVEN MOST SCIENTISTS ARE MORE INTERESTED IN FEELING ACCOMPLISHED IN THEIR WORK, THAN NECESSARILY DISCOVERING TRUTHS FOR A GREATER GOOD.
WHEN WE AREN'T BRAINWASHING OTHER PEOPLE WITH NONSENSE, WE ARE BRAINWASHING OURSELVES WITH NONSENSE. ULTIMATELY, WE WILL ALWAYS APPROVE OF SUCH BEHAVIOUR IN THE NAME OF SURVIVAL, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST MIGHT BE. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE STUPID. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY LIFE IS STUPID. WE MUST AT LEAST RECOGNIZE THAT THIS GAME OF LIFE IS INEFFICIENT AND WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. PEOPLE MUST BE TAUGHT THAT A GREATER GOOD WILL ONLY COME FROM UNDERSTANDING HOW LIFE FUNCTIONS AND THUS PUTTING A STOP TO LIFE FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN. IF WE DO NOT CONCEDE TO SUCH LOGIC, LIFE WILL INDEFINITELY CONTINUE TO DESTROY ITSELF, BOTH NEEDLESSLY AND MINDLESSLY.
