Damn you guys piss me off!
How is suicide defined?
Taking ones own life.
Who do people take their own life?
Because it becomes meaningless to them in that context.
So, if there were no suicides, nobody would find meaninglessness in any context.
Meaning is what ethics and morality are about, an over arching drive for purpose laden life; Adding purpose to life’s equation.
So here’s the deal… That means there’s a lot of work to do!! Life on this earth has zero purpose, because a person commits suicide. Zero. None. Zip. Zilch.
And that’s in a world where people make it as hard to commit suicide as they can (because humans are just property to them and like spoiled brats they don’t want to be accountable or do any work to represent purpose) - imagine how much more work you must do if suicide is as easy and humane as possible…!!!
Now, it’s a no brainer that the premises are logically entailed in this instance, both definitionally and through experience.
That, and nothing else, is the science of ethics.
You are scrambling in your denial, because, to accept this necessary logical entailment, proves this universe has no current purpose, and you have no work to do. Existential work is much more difficult than manual labor.
James sidetracked me.
Science is about logically entailing definitions in a falsifiable manner.
It is not subjective to that regard.
When I am objectively alive, that pebble on the ground get kicked a bit while I’m walking, people notice I’m here. Etc…I am objectively always a subject that is objectively having an impact.
It is objectively true by definition, that if I suicide, I have made the decision in context of anti meaning to ethics and morality of living. If I’m murdered, I have not necessarily made that decision.
