Thought experiment, lets say you got to respawn. Restart life as whatever you awnted.
what would you choose?
male/female?
wealthy/middleclass/poor?
what details of that life would be better than the life you have now?
for me, if I were reborn, I would choose to be a 6'5, nepotist, white, american man. Dark triad as hell, slightly extroverted, high contientiousness, sensitive mind, 100% on machiavellianism, slightly higher than the standard on psycopathy, not so much on narcissim.
in detail, Life would essentially have no low points. Any negative experiences would be shallow and short. I'd have an abundance of resources at my disposal from a very early age, I'd have the halo effect to get away with as much as I want, I'd be imposing enough to socially command what I want, even though i'd be a target for 99% of men, they wouldn't be able to do anything other than kill me. Which is why i'd choose to be someone with low narcissism and a sensitive mind, I would be aware of stupid actions like stealing the girlfriend of some angry drug dealer with a gun.
The only downside I can imagine to a life like that is incredible boredom, the human body gets acclimatized to whatever it has, all satisfaction is only temproary. I'd have everything in the world but still feel nothing other than a hedonic treadmill of boredom - dopamine - boredom - dopamine.
I would probably still have an existential crisis of realizing life is just a circle of birth, energy expenditure, and death. Nothing to escape that.
but hey i'd at least have the entire world to keep myself distracted, my copes would be much better than my current copes as an incel. Instead of reading schopenhauer as an incel i'd be reading schopenhauer with an army of slaves ready to do my bidding. I'd have more fun and exciting copes.
