A lot of bad answers here that no one should listen to because they're false.

Here's what I believe to be true. You have to accept that suffering is part of your lot in life and you will never know the reason why suffering exists until you die. So you must learn to suffer well and without bitterness if you want to be a good person.

I don't know why I bother writing anything on this site.

How can an opinion be false?

If the person holding it is stupid

[–]UncleWillard56 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Also subjective. And this is asking what an individual thinks is the most brutal truth they've learned. Even if they're stupid, their answer is based on their experiences not some consensus of what is brutal or not.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Based on bad reasoning or false assumptions ?

It's not the same as saying you like the color green brah.

[–]UncleWillard56 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, but it's also dependant on the individual and their experiences. How can someone's opinion on what they have learned be "bad" in this case?

[–]Zapped 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Why do you think suffering is constant? Life is full of challenges, and while it is true that life is not fair and we are individually dealt different hands, we all face some sort of challenge. Some say that overcoming challenges is the meaning of life.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts, Zapped. I don't think calling it constant is quite right, but it is ever present in the world, and you should be prepared to face, accept its nature and deal with the challenges it presents without raging against its very presence. I hope this made sense.

The incels like OP just really could use a lesson in this.

[–]Zapped 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

That makes sense. I remember when I was in my 30's asking my father, "when am I ever going to get ahead in life?". He told me that he asked his father the same thing and was told that just when you think you're on the path to easy street, something unexpected always comes up and uses up your resources. I have a problem with stress surrounding these events and I am still working on mitigating that stress. I have a very laid back, easy-going personality, but don't handle stress well. It works on me until I make the problem go away. What do you do to help with stress?

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It eats at me and for all of my adult life, it's just been a lot of self medicating. I'm not really qualified to say anything about handling it well, especially long term.

[–]Zapped 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I know that meditation helps me. I just haven't had the discipline to keep regular (or even semi0regular) sessions. I've never had a sweet tooth for medication.

[–]bucetao6969 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

That's a good comment but it's very arrogant to just assume all the other opinions are false.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I can accept that criticism.

The most brutal truth I learned is that about 90% of humanity, the "average," are objectively valueless to society as a whole and their lives mean absolutely nothing.

Most human beings living today are nothing but parasites and consumers and do absolutely nothing to improve the human species, or worse yet, even have the desire to want to contribute to the greater species as a whole. It's not that I expect everyone to be a life-saving doctor, important defense attorney, hero cop, combat soldier, or Teacher of the Year; it's the fact that someone who even wants to do their part is extremely rare amongst humanity. Most human beings are ridiculously selfish and make zero efforts to try to improve the world they live in, in any small meaningful way they can. They just expect others to do all their work for them while they sit on their ass, doing the bare minimum, if that. That's why I only want to be around people who actually want to do their part to better contribute to society and be an actual productive member of it. Unlike most people.

Ever since I learned this truth, I vowed to never be that type of person and I LOATHE the idea of not being able to make the world better or to be a valuable contributing co-worker or friend.

Who do you think makes all the stuff people consume?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I meeeeeaaannnn, that doesn't make him/her/them/xyr wrong, If the people making the stuff consume the stuff they make, they're just self reinforcing leeches with no purpose.

The non leeches step out of the feedback loop and create a bigger one.

I see where you are coming from. You might find this and this article interesting. Let me know what you think! I'm not their author by the way. They were written by George Hotz.

[–]Mcheetah 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I almost completely agree with the idea of Wireheading City and had a similar idea myself. Except nowadays, that's just San Francisco. We might as well call it a loss and make it a quarantined homeless zone.

My idea was to first, make being (willingly) homeless illegal and punishable by law. Second, I'd take all the current homeless, provide them with free bare-minimum government housing sheds, along with free water, the cheapest food we can give them (ramen and rice, maybe), free mental health counseling, and minimal electricity, in an area 10 miles away from any city, like in Nevada or Wyoming or something. All 100% paid for by taxes. And in exchange, they have to do all of the most labor intensive, low-pay jobs in society and have to stay there semi-permanently. These homeless would be doing jobs like sewage workers, custodial staff, road paving, etc. Young women can even be consenting low-cost sex workers provided they're clean and can pass the mental health checks. (It'd be a hell of a lot better than OnlyFans whores, at least.) They'd all be monitored 24/7 by guards while working and have CCTV in their shed town.

Basically, it'd be like prison combined with indentured servitude. They'd get paid $2 to $4 an hour, only because all of their basic living needs are being met, so they have no actual need for income. If someone is willfully homeless (drug addicts, lazy bums, etc), they'd be arrested and forced to stay there instead of actual prison. Any attempts to leave and they'll be shot on site. And if someone is struggling and homeless not-by-choice, they can have a safe place to live until they can work their way into affording normal housing. And best of all, it's far away from actual civilization, has a huge chainlink fence surrounding the whole compound, and all government workers and guards keeping it running have to take a shuttle bus to get in and out. It's win-win for everyone.

So yeah, I think I fully agree with this guy. For both articles. The second one is basically Starship Trooper's stratocracy. "Service guarantees citizenship! (Would you like to know more?)"

Thank you for passing along the information to me.

No problem! If you want to read more of his stuff make sure to read the rest of his blog. That should only take you around and hour since most of his posts are quite short and easy to understand. While most of the other posts don't talk about the wireheading city I still think you will find them interesting since this guy has quite a number of interesting ideas.

There is only one truly brutal truth, and that is that we are a short-lived species that becomes progressively weaker, dumber, uglier, and crazier while we watch our friends and family die, until eventually some grandkid just sets us on fire and dumps the ashes somewhere, and a hundred years later no one remembers that we existed, and nothing we ever did mattered.

mine is that men are stupid, and evil.

j/k Everyone is stupid and evil. NO one is special or better than anyone else. Men, women, no one. If you think any 1 group is better than a another, you're deluding yourself. Black, white, Asian, native, fucking purple, men, women, doesn't' matter. All of humanity is full if the most base, low IQ morally bankrupt, foul, selfish, cowardly, ignorant animals created by the universe. All of them.

COVID jabs are gene therapy.

That's a matter of semantics. It just defines on how you define "gene therapy," and there isn't universal agreement on that definition.

But that one is objectively false. mRNA tech does not modify a person's genes.

Sorry PharmaBot. You're wrong again.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_transcriptase

Collectively, these activities enable the enzyme to convert single-stranded RNA into double-stranded cDNA. In retroviruses and retrotransposons, this cDNA can then integrate into the host genome, from which new RNA copies can be made via host-cell transcription. The same sequence of reactions is widely used in the laboratory to convert RNA to DNA for use in molecular cloning, RNA sequencing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or genome analysis.

[–]Hematomato 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Yes, I'm familiar with reverse transcriptase and RT-PCR. The company I worked for used RT-PCR to screen hundreds of thousands of potential drugs. It has nothing at all to do with the mechanism of action of mRNA therapy.

In mRNA therapy, the mRNA does not enter the nucleus and does not interface with the DNA at all. The mRNA interfaces with the ribosomes, which treats these "work orders" identically to ones that authentically came from the nucleus.

Mkay. Sure you did.

Regardless, per the Wikipedia link again.

DNA is in the nucleus. mRNA is reverse transcripts into the host's DNA inside the nucleus.

I'm sure you can't comprehend these facts that you're paid to ignore, but this is reality. It's literally gene modification. For an alleged coronavirus?

People who received the mRNA injections have had elements of their DNA modified.

The pharma companies now have a property right in every modified organism. The law is clear on this fact.

[–]Hematomato 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Mkay. Sure you did.

I did. I spent ten years working for a biotech startup.

Regardless, per the Wikipedia link again.

...the Wikipedia link on reverse transcriptase, which has nothing to do with mRNA therapy.

Yes, it's absolutely true that endogenous mRNA binds to DNA. That's how endogenous mRNA is created - by binding to DNA. And that's why RT-PCR can "convert RNA to DNA" (which is really not precisely what's happening, but it's close enough for Wikipedia): it's just a technology making use of a natural biological process.

But RT-PCR is not mRNA therapy. Two totally different things that have nothing to do with each other except that they both employ RNA (and believe me, lots of stuff employs RNA).

I can't exactly give you a quick class on molecular biology, so let me just give you a pretty good analogy for how it works.

Imagine your cells as kind of like a little towns. In the center of each town is an architect's office (the nucleus) that houses a blueprint (the DNA). And then scattered around the town are factories (ribosomes) and power plants (mitochondria) and various other buildings with various other functions.

So today the town needs, let's say, hemoglobin. So the factories are standing by ready to make hemoglobin. But they don't actually know how to do that, because they don't have any blueprints. There's only one blueprint in the whole town, and it's housed in the architect's office.

So what happens, is the architect sends a messenger out of the office. That's the "m" in mRNA - the m stands for messenger. The messenger makes (or, really, is) a "tracing" of the part of the blueprint that says how to make hemoglobin. He brings it to the factory, and he says "please make this." The factory then makes the hemoglobin. And then the message is tossed in the recycle bin and eventually returned back to the office.

The way mRNA therapy works is that we create a fake messenger in a lab, who walks right into town, walks straight to the factory, and says "please make this." He never enters the office. He never interacts with the blueprint. (And even if he could, he couldn't change it - it would change him.)

He just walks straight into the factory. And the factory has no way of knowing that this messenger isn't actually from around here - that he's a fraud - so they dutifully just make whatever they were told to make.

That is reality. mRNA therapy is not gene modification. It's not CRISPR. It's not infection. No reverse transcription takes place. The messenger does not walk into the architect's office. It's just a completely different technique.

You're a microbiologist that shills for pharma.

Also known as a bot.

[–]Hematomato 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Every single part of that sentence was wrong. I'm not a microbiologist and I could care less about pharma. I think people are, in general, overmedicated and should be taking less pills.

What I am, is a nerd who loves tech and sees a new tech with amazing, transformative possibilities. Fuck yes I'd like to be 24 again. Beats withering away into a walking corpse, and then an ordinary corpse.

And you know what's holding that back? A whole river of paranoia. And I get where the paranoia is coming from - no one should force you to put something in your blood that you don't want in your blood by dangling your job over your head.

But the facts are still the facts, and one of the facts is that mRNA therapy doesn't change the genome. And it's useful for so much more than semi-effective vaccines.

The reason suffering exists is because this world is a testing place where most people are failing because Satan both exists and deceives people into thinking this world is all there is to hope for. Instead these people say "If God exists, why is there suffering?" as though this world is the real world. Also the people who run it leave so many clues of who they work for but people ignore it because they are too busy chasing worthless things.

"What is honor?" "Honor is what no man can give ya. And none can take away. Honor is man's gift to himself." "Do women have it?" "Women have a heart of honor, and we cherish and protect it in 'em. We must never mistreat a woman or malign a man, or standby and see another do so." "How do you know you have it?" "Never worry on the gift of it. It grows in ya' and speaks to ya'. All ya' need do is listen".

I always thought it was very noble, but it's also very telling. The world will take everything from you in a heartbeat. Everything but the name you've made for yourself. If you can live with your own honor, you win. If you can't, life will be forever hard.
