At what point does life-apologetics enter into his philosophy? What is so distasteful about suicide that causes philosophers to go full retard and come up with ad-hoc rationalizations for why its wrong?

The problem here is that you a) assume that there is nothing wrong with suicide and that b) all arguments as proposed by philosophers are just rationalisations.

Unless you are some sort of super genius, or that everyone else who has every done philosophy is amazingly stupid and for some reason no one smart ever decided to do it, you should maybe consider the option that there might, just might be some well reasoned idea as to why one shouldn't kill oneself.

The act of suicide itself wouldn't be such a big deal if it didn't emotionally harm so many people around you. A lot of philosophy that people are into deal with actually giving a fuck about the world around you not just act like a self-absorbed autismal fuck all day.

>self-harm isn't immoral harm
>the only type of harm that matters is emotional

Nah, they solved it, but then they all killed themselves
>>
>>8271231
killing a man knowing you will get sentenced to death is kinda a roundabout way of committing suicide

True, the suicidal infuriate me. They should know that no matter what they're going through, their continued existence is essential to my happiness. They should realize my feelings are far more important than theirs.

The selfishness makes me what to vomit. They earned their place in hell.

What is wrong with suicide? Specifically what is wrong with suicide if you accept Camus' ontology?


And where did I say all philosophers are stupid or whatever this nonsense is? I mean I can accept Kant's view of suicide because Kant espoused a system of virtue ethics. Camus' in particular makes no sense. There is no reason to flagellate yourself by embracing the stupid when you could just as easily be dead
