Ok OP, I'm gonna try real hard for you to understand solipsism, but even I don't even fully understand why I would bother

Let me tell you, meathead: you don't have to.

It's the default setting for human beings, and the sooner we accept that, the better.

If you don't stop them, they'll just take over everything like a hungry, angry infant.

But what do you do? It's not like being physically abusive has helped, nor has being emotionally distant, nor has providing them with every physical need they could desire, nor has - wait - have we ever tried that last one?

Pretty sure no, because there's never been any parents who could provide their offspring with every physical need they could desire.

Because one basic physical need of human beings is to have others who desire them.

And to be able to promise your kid that they're going to ever be desired by any other human beings than the parents who bore them out of the hopes that they would live to see a better universe is way beyond your bailiwick.

You're two hairless apes who happen to accidental upon the fact that making fun-fun with your squidgy bits resulted in one of you undergoing extreme physical discomfort as you accepted the parasite that I was, and continued to nourish it until I was expelled from your womb and could become a separate conscious being that owns its own higgs-bound standard-model human body.

The other one did things that were good, too, and tried to make you feel comfortable during this hideous and atavistic biological trial.

Like, nobody's god, though.

And that means nobody's a goddess.

It's sort of shitty, because all we're hoping for is someone to come and rescue us from the miserable conditions we've found ourselves in, but I gotta tell ya... your best bet is that bitch on the Starbucks cup.

Lillith is dead, fren.

I know I'm crying, too.

>the parasite that I was

Like, not me literally. But also me literally.

I was a fucking baby. I didn't ask to be born.

Like, even if I did, though, I don't remember the part where I agreed that other people had to suffer because I was.

But at some point, it's like... sorry. If literally existing makes your life that much worse, then maybe you need to think about the larger structures at work and reconsider who you think 'I' am in terms of who you are, and how much power I would have to have over you in order to make you suffer.

Other than the expectations of your entire society, including the self-harming martyrdom of mothers, who see childbirth as some sort of curse they have to undergo for the benefit of the human race.

That's not something I'd sign up for.

We can do better, though, at this point, in 2077 where we can genetically engineer meat and grow babies in test-tubes.

Hell, we could build rockets and shoot them off into space, but it would just be a dumb waste of resources that could otherwise go to solving the global hunger crisis.

Oh, did you not think this thread would somehow wind up including an @ to contemporaneity?

It's not your fault that you were a parasite in your mothers' stomach, humanity, nor does it mean that we have to continue that ugly tradition.

Isn't that a fair compromise?

Like, why would humans cling to the fact that their entire species was basically the product of marmoset rape?

I don't get that.

>their entire species was basically the product of marmoset rape?

No. Literally. This is not a joke.

The dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid strike they couldn't possibly see coming, because like they were basically giant chickens storming around a planet.

Chickens aren't smart, if you haven't noticed.

So, what was left after they all got blown to smithereens?

Clever little mammals, like Marmosets.

Let me tell you something about marmosets: they are good at algorithms - if there's a puzzle at the end of which is food, they will solve it.

Also, let me tell you something about marmosets: they don't know what rape is. If there's a horny marmoset who wants to have sex with another one, and they're physically large enough to force them into the act of copulation, it's not really a question of if they're gonna do it, but when.

And that's human history, in a nutshell, assholes.

Those are the little monkeys that hit out in caves and groves and other such natural geographic features, quietly raping the shit out of each other until eventually they found themselves commanding more and more of the territory with the trees that those water-types totally placed a misdirected bet on (although we're all still waiting for dolphins to abandon the planet and thank us for the fish, so if they ever manage to, it would quite question the implied supremacy of species, lol).

But they didn't do it because they were thinking of the future, for fuck's sake.

Sperm don't know shit about shit. They're not even multicellular.

It just feels good to rub your junk.

That's literally all the universe has ever told us about the the wisdom of reproduction: it feels awesome when you rub your junk.

It doesn't seem like there needs to be any sort of organization about this being formed, or any kind of consensus.

It's just true.

And that's why we're here.

At least that's why I am, best as I can figure, unless my parents could explain any better their reasoning.

>unless my parents could explain any better their reasoning

This is a Lichtenstein.

I mean, like, it's certainly at least as good of any quality I'd demand before agreeing that it was, indeed, a Lichtenstein.

But if you don't know who Roy Lichtenstein was, or what their art mean to the world, then what value does it have to you?

And let me tell you something: I don't know who Roy Lichtenstein was, nor what their art meant to the world, and I would probably trade one of their Archie-looking prints for a pack of cigarettes and not ever realize it it might have meant more than that to someone else.

Because I was not an Art major in college.

I stuck to language. Dumb move, considering they're the same thing, ultimately.

Even dumber move was trying to say something.

Not smart.

Nobody cares what you think, little marmoset.

Now, that Lichtenstein is probably a NFT, and I'll wind up being charged millions of dollars for posting it, knowing my luck.

Because what happens to those who post them before they're officially valued?

And who is regulating that valuation?

Marmosets. Fucking marmosets, I say.

I'm beginning to think that rapists aren't the best judge of moral character, though, and if all life winds up being some sort of birth-chain sort of boring matter-creation experiment, then someone would have to have missed something, somewhere...
