One may say they are happy because of sex and relationships, which we lack. But, how important is sex really, a mere carnal experience to bring true happiness? And really, all relationships are fake and conditional, at that point, it'd make you equally happy to talk to ChatGPT than to another person who will lie to you. Yet, Chad is happy, and foids are too. Why? Is sex really this important? Are those fake human connections actually that important?
Others may say that happiness is archived through of hobbies and a sense of purpose. I have hobbies, I like playing videogames and I'm picking up on philosophy. And yet, I am not happy. Why would a merely temporal creation grant you happiness? One day, your brain will be eaten by the worms, your videogame saves will be forgotten, and the things you built will crumble.
Schopenhauer would argue that happiness is impossible. We are animals wired to want, and hence we are wired to suffer. He argues that we can't be happy, just reduce the pain. He argued that through our experiences, we discover that happiness and joy are merely false hopes while suffering and pain are very real.
Schopenhauer could potentially have agreed with the blackpill. He argued people ought to be aware of who they are. A person who doesn't know who they are, will put effort into tasks they are unable to accomplish, pretend to be something they are not, and hate themselves for things that are away from their control.
So is the happiness normal people feel merely a debauchery of sexual deviance, substances, philosophical suicide, and feel-good things that are as temporary as they are fake and dishonest?
