if you had that button i hope you would indeed press it without hesitation.
people think this is terrible and wrong but it is in fact the only moral thing to do.
and no, it doesn't matter.
the first person to say 'so kill yourself if you hate the world so much' is missing the point entirely. if i were entirely deluded i'd say please don't push it until after wonderment 2.0 but i'd be kidding myself.
Please don't push the button until after wonderment 2.0. Also, i love everyone and life in general. What a wonderful world we live in KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT DO IT NOWWW

you are painfully wrong and it shows how insecure you really are. you haven't thought this through at all.

I think its about every single humans instinctive desire to survive . So yeah, its about life and death.
You're insecure, because it obviously makes you feel weak and uncool to have this most natural of human needs.
You quasi-nihilist.

That was an awesome scene. And when Deebo tossed it out of the window I felt all warm and fuzzy inside.
See, hoomuns are all really nice ppl and care about eachother and things are all nice and fluffy forever.
I'm off to help an old woman cross the road, give blood and spend £100 in a trendy charity shop.

when you have a button that instantly ends everything you have ever known, survival is an utterly meaningless concept. nothing survives, just like how it will be in billions of years when the sun is out of gas.

Yes, but in this context. The button will wipe out everything. Ok...fine. Who cares. But, you are included in that. And that's all that fundamentally matters to you. So you won't press it.

the only thing that sucks about it is that people won't be able to thank me after i do, in fact, press it.
all that matters to me is being famous and i'm not getting there so i have nothing to lose. you're out of luck when the mighty button falls into my hands!

Thanks dude! The truth is, I try to stay as positive as I can, because I had a bit of a nervous breakdown about a year ago. I then read A LOT. I also had some kind of cognative therapy. I now feel so much better.
My advice on feeling better if depressed/anxious? I'm no psychologist but here goes...
1. Immerse yourself as much as you can in your hobbies, and things that you find beautiful in life. Music, online things etc. You owe nobody else nothing, so just get lost in what you love.
2. Do not watch the news or keep up with current affairs. A culture of fearmongering and keeping people occupied with nasty bullshit to take their minds off of the things that really matter, has been going on for so long. Worry only when it comes to your doorstep, but do not be paranoid and anticipate it. Literally, when it affects you, or one you love.
3. Similar to point 2, I think if you think deeply about the state of the world, you just need to let go. This means accepting that whether human nature does have a cold evil streak, or whether the world is run by half-lizard aliens, they have done their damage, and there is no going back. We have to accept the greedy fuckers that came before us ruined this world in many ways, but we just have salvage the best of it and get on with our lives. You're not going to start a revolution tomorrow. So do your little piece to help make the world a better place, but do not get obsessed with the injustice and corruption of the powers that be. They got there first, they won. We now just have to rise above it.
4. Know, that generally, with few exceptions, even the most troubled of people, have just been neglected from love. They are victims of the people discussed in the above point. Things are never going to be perfect, but trying to understand how people's environments make people the way they are, yet also realizing that when the door's closed and they're alone, everyone with a half-decent education will be introspective and feel guilty about their own unjust behaviour.

Humans will be dead long before the sun burns out. In 2880 a 1 kilometre sized object is scheduled to hit the earth, the one that wiped out the dinosaurs 65m years ago was 5 kilometres.
Whether 2880 is accurate or not, it's a fact that within the next 60000 years at least one big heavy multi-nuclear bomb powered asteroid will totally devastate some part of the planet.

I don;t know. I dont wanna be preachy, but these are just my opinions, and more importantly, how I have learnt to enjoy life fully again.
I can still be negative sometimes. But the important thing is when you go on a negative rant, or train of thought, with no humour in it whatsoever, you have to stop yourself and ask 'Is there another, more positive way I can think of this situation'. You will then slowly build new habits and do this automatically.
I have definitely noticed the change in me. But then, one of my very best friends is so much more intelligent than me, and he has been depressed for a long time. So...I guess it doesn't work for everyone.

All specualtion. And you'll be dead then anyway...why bother predicting such things?
Not criticizing, but it just baffles me. Do you think this gives you an upper hand over someone who has an equally ridiculous point about the sun burning out. How do you know we're not all in the matrix, and there is no such thing as space? What a load of bullshit.

It's not speculation. This planet has been hit by dozens of humungous, shattering asteroids since the dinosaurs were wiped out. It's an absolute certainty to happen again, every 60000 years it's estimated.

i would recommend you read 'a short history of nearly everything' and if you already have, to revisit the chapter on the outbursts of volcanoes, as well as meteor impacts for that matter.
estimated means fuck all. it could be a billion years before a huge meteor impact however unlikely it may seem.

Of course the time frame is an estimate. I could estimate your year of death within the next 80 years, but the FACT is that it will happen within the next 110.
