and a goal in life that will giveyou fulfilment

it takes less time than starving I believe

medititation works wonders

I suppose I'm just being a devil's advocate for forced evolution.

sleep isnt on maslow's heirarchy, you get it if you have immediate safety and/or shelter

I used to mock meditation but it makes sense if you view the body as a machine

i wish i could clear my mind

mind and body is connected if you fat fkg slob of course yoi will be depressed cause you poison yourself

Even the best designed engine cannot run 24/7 without outside assistance. eventually it will overheat or wear out from stress.

humans are like machines

Basic Needs (Literally needed), Air, Water, Food, Sleep
Technical Needs, Clothing, not technically needed, Shelter, not technically needed, Sex, Is needed for race but not individual
Safety Needs, Personal Security, Emotional Security, Financial Security, Health and Well Being
Social Belonging, Friendship, Intimacy, Family
Esteem, Recognition, Status, Outside Respect
Self Actualization, Creative Output, Achievement of Perceived Potential, Making Own Decisions

not necessarily in order

of actual importance

social need is actually important if you become a hermit yoi will get batshit crazy

humans arent made for isolation

a lot of people will put making their own decisions ahead of *most* of the above

I'm trying to make a simulator that can figure out relations between these needs

Unfortunately we are not perfect in decisionmaking or form.

just dont everything is related

We should always strive to be closer to perfection in every conceivable fashion.

yeah

We don't need to be perfect in our decisions, we just need the freedom to make the decisions for ourselves.

that's a thing though, you should always be working toward perfection, but never dwell on the fact that it's unachievable, or on how much farther you have to go to each milestone

when you ostracise people and they aint a bitch they will be dangerous

if they are a bitch they might kill themselves

just work on a goal that truly means something for you...

@Angus Being aware of the impossibility of the task being completed within one lifetime should help motivate people to ensure their descendants both exist and are able to move forward with that goal.

yeah

dont have to be their children it could be co writers etc

they could have someone to go on with that legacy

my father made sure I was going to be able to go into the world farther along than he started

But I'm a sucker for doomed efforts and heavily romanticize the concept of futile struggle, so I may be biased.

@Angus Exactly, that's the base level and should be the building blocks of a person giving a shit about themselves AND others.

i never understand why some thinks it cool to not give a shit

I've gone through a lot of those phases

I can understand apathy or unawareness of others, but for an otherwise intelligent person to willfully ignore the consequences of their actions is greatly displeasing to me.

and I think the reason some people get stuck in them is because they weren't taught to always try and better themselves, and to always look at several sources on a broad spectrum of topics before you believe anything too serious

They're like 50% of the way to being a near-ideal human and fucked it up on the easiest bit.

there's also being uneducated, which both should not be used or taken as an insult

you can learn a lot from monks

it's something anyone needs to recognize about themself and just try to fix
