I like Erdos's interpretation of death, and probably suicide as well. It's an action of "leaving". I'm OK with that, and I hope one day to leave with assisted suicide rather than be forced the burden of staying despite my will.
If we want to make this life an enjoyable experience for as many people as possible, we should be looking at trends in suicide and trying to figure out what's wrong. I hope you all stay because the best part is ahead of us, but it's OK to me if you decide to leave, too.
That said, I can imagine how bad it must be to be a founder in Las Vegas. I think the place is phony, hot, unsustainable, and lacking in genuine purpose and liveliness.
- joshschreuder 12y agoThe problem I have with this is that "leaving" anything most often inconveniences or displaces people around you. For instance, you probably wouldn't leave in the middle of an important deadline to go on holidays, as it would affect the rest of your team. In the same way, depression-based suicide takes considerable toll on not only friends and family, but the people who witness / discover you. I don't have the same opinion on assisted suicide for chronic illness, as I believe it is a dignified choice, but I personally can't be OK with someone taking their life in depression as though that is their ultimate will. Depression affects the will, and as a mental health issue it is something these people need to be aided with in recovering to full health.
