As a female...why   Lol

Have you ever fallen in love or had sex?

So what are we supposed to do instead?

I was happy to welcome children into my life and enjoy creating and experiencing our lives together.  Death is part of the creation process, death is not and end to life just a transmutation into other forms of life. Your 1, 2,3,4 may hold some truth, mostly #2, however the rest are up for interpretation or not even complete thoughts or ideas. You seem to be suffering your own delusion based on limited experience. 

Are you even human?  Just being alive in a healthy body feels amazing.  Breathing, moving, feeling the sensations on the body, dancing, stretching, using your voice, walking, touching soft soil or sand on the feet and hands, touching leaves or soft grass, feeling the sun on the skin, feeling wind or rain, smelling these things, smelling earth, flowers, hair, skin.  It's like you are AI asking these questions to understand the human experience, lol.  I can remember bliss, joy, laughter, etc from my childhood as well as uncomfortable emotions, both equally valid, one does not outweigh or negate the other, I still experience a range of emotions but, by far and as a healthy and conscious adult, the good outweighs the bad.  I didntnpump out units til 38 and for a long time considered everything you were saying about how selfish it is to bring babies into an imperfect world, but because I also experienced great joy and the many ways we can live in this world I was fortunate enough that the souls chose me to incarnate their blissfully joyous selves through my body.  Once I had children I felt even more ridiculous that I listened to the overculture of guilt and shame and scarcity exactly as you are preaching and thankful I overcame such pessimistic, ignorant and selfish rhetoric...

You have really convinced yourself this is the only possibility and that your experience and knowledge must be the epitome of truth?  You really think I am the selfish, lonely, psychopath when you are here explaining that there is no way to experiencing anything other than suffering and that everyone should also feel shame and guilt and a magnitude of other unfavorable emotions because they exist and don't share your same viewpoint??  There are cookies in hell?  Do you eat a raw paleo diet?  I hope, for your sake, because your perspective on life sounds miserable, that you are able to get some help in seeing existence in a different manner.   If the global elites she farming me, so be it, I still enjoy so much freedom, I farm my own animals, I grow flowers and plants, chickens, rabbits, I enjoy my family and I don't live in constant guilt nor would you be able to shame me into it.  I am not ignorant of unaware that people suffer but there are also so many other ways of being and fluctuations in experience.  You sound bored and stuck. Your probably live in the city amongst the zombies.   Get out of there, go to the forest, be with the beings that actually decide if you live or die.  The trees, the clouds, the sun, the soil.   Sounds like you are just a puppet of your handlers. 

Weird,so you don't enjoy life at all and only recognize suffering? Sounds like you have issues and are projecting your limited experience as if it were the only possibility for all of mankind.   

Wow your life sucks that bad that that is your viewpoint?  I guess it's good you know better not to breed. 

My toddler has excellent and intense concentration because she is determined to learn.  She practices skills and enjoys new experiences.

Thanks for posting the link, twice.. .  What a great interview!  Derek you really have a way with articulating your experience that is very intellectual, thorough and not egotistical.  It is awesome to hear!  The interviewer asked some decent questions, he is definitely more Californicated with his likes and other dialect which in comparison is humorous.   I have only had time to listen to about half of it, looking forward to the rest. 

I agree with aco there are not many places untouched...

You can come out here and help me out building fences so I can raise sheep again.  I have a lot of fruit trees that need to be planted and acres that could be gardened.  There is good hunting, tons of turkeys and deer.  I would like to start selectively logging our property for firewood.  We have so many dead standing trees, a lot make great habitat but we could definitely stand to take down a few and process to firewood to make money.  We have 122 acres plus 2 acre homestead.

While I agree that marijuana and psilocybin can cause psychological and social issues, most of this is due to misuse including source, type of ingestion (smoking, processing, concentrating vs eating raw, topical vs internal etc), and also mentality around use (frequent, recreationally vs infrequent, respectfully, purposefully).  Most of the lknowledge about how to use these plants and fungi for medicine has been forgotten, just as the knowledge about how to properly produce and ingest foods for optimal health.  There are still some who have the disipline and intuition to acknowledge proper methods of use.  I do believe that current research is also showing the benefits if psilocybin mushrooms however i do not believe their methods are illustrating the powerful potential of healing and enlightenment possible.
