I am a depressive realist, or simply a "realist." I find existence terrifying, full of suffering and injustice. I align with antinatalist preferences, but my logical mind recognises we live in a deterministic universe where everything is beyond our control. I'm nearly a nihilist, though not entirely, as I believe suffering matters. Yet, I doubt we can do much about it due to the lack of free will. Any progress we make is down to chance, and in an entropic universe, hope seems misguided in the long term. I identify as an atheist agnostic. I'm interested in animal welfare, disability rights, mental health, egalitarianism, AI, and elements of pessimistic philosophy. I engage with religious ideas, such as Gnosticism, Buddhism, and New Age concepts. I enjoy metaphysics and deep conversations with kind-hearted people. I occasionally write my ideas down in poetic prose. Pleased to meet you 😎 youtu.be/b7CKn7Zmlb0
