What was he trying to show to the world?
It's clear this man was an intellectual but his book is far too long for myself to read....
Anyone have a synopsis and possible recommend me some of the chapters to read....
Or was he merely insane?
Thanks!

>>66960089

Ive read it twice Most interesting thing ive ever read by far.
Hard to summarize something so long, but to put it in a sentence its about how humanity is on path for "rational self-destruction" due to the gene/meme symbiosis of the western world as result of peculiar and particular historical events.
Try reading the first 100pages or so, wait a few days/week and go from there.

Damn, I forgot this guy existed.
>>66959466
Also that picture is well before he wrote the thing.
Using it suggests he was some dumb kid, he wasnt he was 35 and very much not insane. He was clearly a genius of some sort. Youll see if you read it.
name of the "book"? Just "Suicide note"?

What was his view on Christianity and religion in general?
it seemed as though he didnt care for it much and looked to technology as God, whats all that about?
>“What really happens in the Western countries that adopt feminism and individualism is not the complete end of the human race, but rather, the relative demographic decline of the native populations of liberal democracies. The individual irrationality of the self-sacrificial parent to child relationship helps produce genetically suicidal birthrates.”
Wh-what did he mean by this?
>>66961263
The west will be keked
>>66961263
as applied to the west
whites increasingly become a minority
>>66961533
but if the whole thing is written like that, he is bordering pseudo intellectual, expressing simple ideas in a verbose way.
Was he just an atheist with no direction in life?
honest question
>>66961145
The overall theme of the book is objectivity and his attempt to demonstrate the futility of achieving perfect objectivity.
He didnt give a subjective opinion on Christianity, he clinically analyzed it as a functions as a "meme" in the original definition- A meme as a unit of information that alters behavior-the non-biological analog to the gene.
God-AI is the end result of the peculiar gene/meme symbiosis that we know as western civilization. This unique combination of these particular genes and memes will result in God_AI, whereas for example, a planet with only native american culture would never result in God_AI

No not at all. He correctly identified Nietzsche as "his educator" and created meaning out of meaninglessness, his meaning being his life work of the book. His analysis and conclusions.
>>66959466
I don't understand. Why did he kill himself?

yes, this is the problem with atheism- they're all in the closet nihilists.

To set an example. To live by this principle.
"Many die too late, and some die too early. Yet strange soundeth the precept: "Die at the right time!
Die at the right time: so teacheth Zarathustra"

non identifying agnostic atheist cis straight white male optimistic nihilist here.
you couldnt be more wrong. also fuck your labels.
>>66963857
welp
Thanks anon.
>>66964057
you're a faggot. We're all nihilists. Atheists just think they're more intelligent or whatever, their lack of humility tends to lead to the truth of nihilism to consume any sense of worth they have.
>>66964516
you dont even know what the labels you are using mean.
