Serious Everything is a cope

[incelgration]

There is interesting essay written by Peter Zapffe titled The Last Messiah. In his work Zapffe claims that human consciousness is overdeveloped and only reason we didn't go extinct is we invented means to limit our consciousness. AKA copes.

There are 4 main mechanisms that limits our consciousness:
- Isolation: suppressing uncomfortable and destructive feelings and thoughts. Most blue pills are using this strategy.
- Anchoring: putting trust in ideals like religion, family, church, etc. Most tradcons are using this strategy.
- Distraction: focusing attention on one or more tasks to not think about horrors of existence. It is probably most popular cope and majority of people are doing this in form of hobbies or just mindlessly scrolling through Facebook.
- Sublimation: turning negative energy into positive aims. For example you feel angry so you go to the gym and turn your anger into muscles or you write manifesto and you turn your anger into words. Usually used by creative individuals.

As you can see whole human existence relies on copes. Without means of limiting our consciousness we would be extinct long time ago. I also believe that people who are in depression just looses ability to limit their overgrown consciousness which finally leads to it's total destruction.
Also claiming that your cope is better than any other cope is like competing in Paralympics. Who cares you won gold medal, you are screwed anyway. We all are in this shit together, does not matter which cope you have chosen.

I feel like the channeling of sublimination needs much more examination from incels.

I can really relate to the last part. I felt hyperwoke a long time and my brain cracked somehow.
I am almost a babbling retard now.

Thanks for sharing.

I agree only in half. Yes, human consciousness is kinda overdeveloped, but those means to limit our consciousness are not because that would lead to our demise and we learned how to do it. I mean maybe it would lead us to exctintion(or maybe something other would happened) but more probable explonation of those copes is that we are just a step above monkeys and we are still in grasp of biological programming. Most of us are happy when we have food, water and someone to fuck. You, me and probably this Peter Zapffe dude probably overthinks because we are
1. More inteligent than average
2. Don't have someone to fuck
If you are happy(and preferably not that inteligent), you don't have thoughts about existence, or nature of universe. You just live, and have thoughts like that only when you are someone you love are close to death.

That's the point - monkeys have not developed so much consciousness and they are therefore more happy. People who are happy just by having money, food and sex has not developed their consciousness so much or they are masters of coping.
Btw Zapffe had wife but no kids as he was antinatalist.
