What do you think is the root of all human misery, /r9k/?
Freedom.
I was about to get muted for 2 seconds but then I realized "Freedom" is dubiously original.
Desire, mostly

Smug anime girls desu

>What do you think is the root of all human misery, /r9k/?
poontang
Memes, but also a source of ecstasy of the most elevated kind
>>29736687
i was thinking about this earlier actually.
i'd say it's other human beings.
>>29736717
i second this one. except instead of desire, i might say attachment. caring about anything will inevitably cause misery because nothing is permanent.
Lack of God.
>>29736738
pretty true desu
who else goyim?
Women. If we had sentient sex robots and no women the world would literally be perfect.
>>29736687
feeling lonely anon
>>29736687
Insecurities
They stopped me from doing what i want all 12 years of school. Now that thats over i regret all the things i didnt do. Especially all the girls i never talked to.
Now i will start college and hopefully wont fuck it up.

Not thinking hard enough. All of these are superficial and based off of the individual's own life, many not being the root of the problem but simply the problem itself, or something that presents a small niche subset of problems like not touching your tiny 2 inch dick.
>>29736770
Lack of God, as in an Absence or an Abandonment?
The conflict between your rational brain and primitive animal brain.
>>29736687
We suffer because we are born, and that suffering only increases with the inherent knowledge of our own death.
>>29736888
Fuck off. If every man had a personal sex robot, women would be obsolete. Everyone would be happy. It's the struggle to reproduce, to compete, to step over each other, that is the fundamental human tragedy. Sex robots solve everything.
Life is suffering
The source of this suffering is want
~my paraphrasing of the first two noble truths.
>>29736963
Except no one is going to give those sex robots out for free, it'll just be the same capitalistic grind for better things except now you can't fuck any of your friends or have real intimacy without being gay.
>>29736963
You are assuming that sex equals happiness, and that said happiness is perennial.
>>29737001
The guys building and designing the robots will be betas. They'll hook their fellow betas up.
Human condition itself is suffering, because we're part beast part god.
>>29736687
Wanting things, desiring things. The minute you have a thought about the thing you want, you realize you don't have it yet. That gap is where suffering comes from.
>>29736963
You are such a retard.
Sex is my smallest concern now. I just want the affection of a female. A sex robot cannot provide that. Nothing can.
>>29737028
100% of males alive today are betas because of the "ancient sexual revolution" wherein pair mating out-competed harems you clot.
Beta humans will step all over other beta humans for status and power, they're just not inherently good at it like animal species that still have alphas.
wanting what you do not have.
Men caring too much about looks and women caring too much about social status.
>>29737051
Maybe go live with mommy? She might give you some female affection
>>29736687
The simple act of merely existing
>>29737077
That is obviously not the same.
I guarantee you once your sex robot dream is a reality you will be even more miserable.
The human condition. Our fallen nature. Without sin, there'd be no suffering.
Fantasy. Average folks see the world in comparison to an often unrealistic marginalized expectation each day instead of accepting the harsh truth and being grateful. Things like money, influence and technologies get us closer to this shangri la but we'd be better off just letting go.
>>29736687
Happiness.
The pursuit of it
Lack of purpose.
>>29736687
The fact that our thinking is never based entirely in logic. It clouds every decision we make.
But it is also the reason that we can enjoy life sometimes. So is it worth it?
Sometimes when I see a person missing a limb or missing part of their face I think it's not worth it. I feel like that puts me into perspective. Makes me humble rather than angry.
Root of all human misery? Desire.
And some things can never be.
Attachment
>>29736687
misery is happiness
Desire for sure
People being together.
Each person is different and has a different opinion on different things regardless of everything
This creates conflict between humans, and the modern, busy, urban lifestyle enforces that we have to deal with each other every damn day, creating misery for all of us.
>>29736687
When you see a tfw in a post
>>29736687
Human competition for resources with other humans.
social media
it was a mistake
>>29736807
Women *are* sentient sex robots, idiot. The issue is their motivations and incentives, both those that are innate and those that are socially-determined.
women
all problems come from these cuntowning piece of shit of a "human" beings
fuck them with aids, hope they all die in fucking cancer
>>29736687
non white (((((((people))))))).
Original comment lol wtf
>>29739398
Lmao senpai that's not true. I can't program a woman to love me.
>>29736687
child abuse
so yeah women
The double sided blade of being a social animal.
It's very basic human instinct to join a tribe, gain belonging and have ties with a large number of people. In order to do this, we need to have a high status. In order to gain a higher status, we need to overtake one who has higher status than us; the alpha. However, in the modern day, the need for social belonging is no longer needed for survival but is instead replaced by rationality, the polo opposite of emotions which have been embedded into our DNA. If we want to ensure great status and wealth, we need to tune out the social put of us in order to accommodate rationality but our mind won't take loneliness lightly. This is why we experience sadness from lack of social acceptance and belonging. There is also the case of misfortune, weather it be unattractiveness, limited intelligence, poverty or poor initial start in life. This can permanently affect your ability to gain status, crippling you socially as well as mentally.
>>29739639
Why would a sex robot manufacturer allow you to reprogram it either? You'd have to jailbreak it or some shit. About as easy as reprogramming any given woman to love you, I would expect. Analogy still holds.
>>29736687
The desire for a better life and the inability to be satisfied with the current situation.
In short, the need for change
>>29736687
The buddhists are right about everything besides their cosmology. Their understanding of human nature is pretty spot on.
>>29736738
T'is indeed, but we can't live without them desu
>>29736687
Jews obviously
Niggers... obviously
The natural competition for ressources
the god of this earth
>>29736687
emotions, most typically love and hatred as they are also the strongest ones. I guess im lucky that I've never been in love and am not capable of truly hating a human being, but at the same time, the only time you're truly happy is when you're in love.
