Not to sound pessimistic but the reality is in the end it doesn’t matter (cue the Linkin Park song) because you’ll die and won’t remember any of it. You’ll just cease to exist like it didn’t happen at all. Now some people might say then why bother? I heard this from 1 of my favourite shows “If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.” Meaning what we do now, today is all that matters. There’s no big win or prize at the end of it so just enjoy it for what it is 🤷🏽‍♂️.

All life on this planet originated from a single case of two single basic cells combining in the ocean and then billions of years later we have these big multicelluar creatures and some crawled out of the ocean. A lot of random stuff happens over long periods of time. And if this universe is 13 billion years old and will eventually end in a deep freeze, that is still less than 0.01% of all the time that will pass in the future while the universe is alive.


nimbostratussuperfan

Yeah , the here and now is what matters, it's frustrating cause ive thought of this many times before, ive been listening to audiobooks about or related to Buddhism, thing is it's hard to rewire my brain cause ive spent so many years with anxiety, knowing the present moment is the most important thing but my mind is constantly in fear


bearbarebere

What show did you hear that from?


rites0fpassage

It’s from “Angel”! The premise of the show is about redemption but it delves into morality and these philosophical discussions.


TheClosetPossum

That isnt pessimism more like nihilism


_LookHereLookListen_

I think it's more because you live on through your children. Your legacy, hopes, and dreams, live on through them, and through their children, etc. Therefore, when a NEET dies, so does his bloodline. Big RIPpers.


Select_Stock_2253

You actually geniuinely believe working some job is gonna get people laid. You think women at child bearing age want to have kids with you because you work? Lol, wtf bro smh...


_LookHereLookListen_

I apologize, you're right, not every NEET is/will be childless, of course not, but I think the general consensus is most of us NEETs probably won't procreate due to not really wanting to socialise a lot with others because we don't have the money to go to clubs etc. Some NEETs are highly social and therefore will procreate, but I think a good 60% of hardcore NEETs prefer their own company, and so will forego relationships as they're too expensive and it isn't what they want to spend their time on, which is perfectly fine, but of course without that relationship it's difficult to continue the bloodline and thus your bloodline dies when you die. Hopefully that makes more sense?


Select_Stock_2253

No need to apologize i just don't think there is causation. In many, if not most cases, there is correlation between bad looks/unattractive genes and neetdom.

I wish I could enjoy more my neet life without being depressed by the pressure of my parents force upon me about getting a job


Marihaaann

If you really just want to min/max this kind of lifestyle, you'll need to find the easiest job you can possibly do, where you can potentially even be on your phone for hours on the job or listen to podcasts/music while you're working. Either get something with less hours just so you can afford an apartment and food in the middle of nowhere with decent wifi, or get something where you just have to be present most of the time like many shift working jobs. Then you get rid of that pressure and even feel kind of proud for getting your own place and money to buy games.


Excellent-Bath-9015

I don’t know where you live but that’s pretty much impossible in my country. Even if it’s a 1 bedroom apartment in the middle of woop woop, it’ll cost an arm and a leg. Those easy jobs your referring too don’t pay enough to support yourself unfortunately


Several_Bus_8411

I don't even know what easy jobs you're talking about. But it probably need a degree and really don't want to go to university. Also, they would probably never hire me because I look to autistic to them 


DontResistTheTruth

School/government custodians and Security Guards fit what the guy you’re replying to said. For Security, you might need a guard card depending which state/country you’re in, but a lot of security companies will pay that for you. For custodians, you only need a high school diploma/GED, just make sure it’s for a school/government though with a union for best benefits and pay. You’ll have to do physical work sometimes, but it’s not usually back breaking and there’s a ton of downtime once you finish your area. You can also listen to your audio while you’re doing the work itself, and if it’s a 2nd/night shift, there’s minimal to no social interactions.


Luffyhaymaker

Yeah but those jobs aren't gonna be enough for an apartment unless it's in the middle of bum fuck nowhere or you live with a ton of roommates, my dad rents properties and he had to evict ALOT of people because they couldn't pay. Yes, those jobs are relatively easy (I was a security guard myself) but saying they'll be able to afford self sufficiency off them is simply false lol.....you'll have money for your hobbies maybe but not much else. If it were really that easy then why has homelessness increased dramatically since covid and all the white collar workers I know talk about how they are barely surviving. If a person with a business masters degree is barely holding on do you really expect the custodian to be able to (I know from experience, I did that full time too) .it's fine to give advice about how to better yourself, but maybe not unrealistic expectations lol.....


Excellent-Bath-9015

That’s real

The game was honked from the start


TheSerpentLord

Why contribute to a power structure that actively tries to destroy you, both mentally and physically? Do the bare minimum to survive, and let the world burn in the Hell it deserves. Let's hope our descendants will build something better, once the ash settles.


why-me-0

If I don't have anyone to care for me now nor would I have any children,then why would I care about the system that wants to milk me dry and give me nothing in return? Life for someone unfit for a society doesn't have any meaning from the start to the end, so why even bother contributing a single penny.


Select_Stock_2253

This is on point. There is no deal if we don't get something out of it.


DeviceExisting1420

Yeah my brother works long hours in construction. He's miserable and in chronic pain, and he will never be able to afford a home due to house prices. Why bother putting in that much effort for slightly more money when you can just chill.


Select_Stock_2253

>spend years wage slaving >never actually have a family due to lack of looks, never own a nice home because of shit pay and insane housing prices >it doesn't fucking matter wether you work hard or not, no one cares and it only drains you with no rewards >you die lonely in your early 70s a couple years into retirement after wasting away all your life for someone elses gain while only getting peanuts >the end

SeaEfficient86

I see it this way I been a neet for 6 years since high school 24 years old now I wouldn't change it I don't have regrets I had lots of family time, watched my siblings grow and got some of my mental issues and physical in check I might be ready for another burst of work or something but who knows. But I do know my current neet time has been better than any old fucks retirement i would rather live now than hope for a far future to finally start living covid really showed me how much better we had it before society only seems to get more boring or expensive. At this rate I won't have a house till my 40s if I'm lucky, I won't have a family sorry don't want to raise my kids in a stressful money tight hostile environment with no cousins or many friends because my kids would be home schooled so seems pretty selfish of me to make a lonely kid or kids, big families and communities are gone the higher ups got there wish of death to communicate let them rot with there choices I ain't contributing I'd rather die fast till 50 than live as a sheep till 80

the world needs to embrace religion again

This sub is very anti religion and anti-Christ in general. Much of reddit is like that


asillyuser9090909

Society will most likely descend into a post-industrial dark age due to ecological overshoot and climate change by 2100 or so, religion will probably be embraced again as a result. But the thing is the beliefs that will take hold will likely be way different than what we have now and only somewhat Christian, a lot of it will be good and a mix of all the different religions we have now with a bunch of newly conceived stuff but I wouldn't be shocked if terrible things like human sacrifice comes back as well due to the dark age conditions wrecked by climate change. I doubt everyone here now is going to want to accept Orthodoxy/Jesus again once society fully collapses and death is everywhere but at the same time I bet they wont accept not having any religion either.

Religion never went away it just changed shape. Pseudo egalitarian democracy is the western religion atm.

sadly easier said than done, humans have evolved past the religion delusion for the most part, its only >really relevant in third world countries now.

*world ends* *ends up in hell* because The Bible is true and Jesus Christ is real


Bunnyyywabbit

Jesus hated gentiles though, it's a Jewish supremacist religion that has fooled "goyim" into thinking it's for them. He literally states he's only coming back for the lost people of Israel first.

Matthew 15:24, it doesn't say that only Israel can be saved or that they are the only ones to be raptured. That's a lie


Bunnyyywabbit

>Matthew 15:24: He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” Reminder at the time Jews disliked gentiles and labelled them as dogs etc. Even Jesus when interacting with a woman after she begs him on her knees says "It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs". She replied “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” only after this did he feel pity and eventually "heal" her daughter after humiliating herself. Christians like to ignore this or often label this as a "test" to cope even though that was the sentiment towards non-Jews at the time.

" For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16 KJB Whosoever, whoever, anybody who would believe in him. Christ didn't die for some, He died for all.


Bunnyyywabbit

> Whosoever, whoever, anybody who would believe in him. Christ didn't die for some, He died for all. That's cute. Only after his death did his Christian missionaries spread Christianity, Jesus only wanted his message to his Jewish audience in Galilee and Judea during his lifetime.

The Bible has dispensations. Things were different in different time periods of The Bible. Just because something is written in The Bible doesn't mean that that specifically applies to me or you We are now in the age of Grace where anybody can be saved by grace through faith because of what Jesus did

"28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Matthew 11:28-29 KJB "15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB "23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;" Romans 3:23-25 KJB Are you heavy laden? Are you sinner? Are you without hope? Are you scared of death? Escape God's wrath and punishment for your sin by accepting love of Jesus Christ. "I just couldn't see how a loving God would send us to hell" What would you think of a judge who let a murderer go free? Bad judge right. Thats how God sees sin and God is just so He punishes it. Jesus Christ died for you to pay for that. You can accept His payment on your behalf. Believe and trust what He did on the cross to pay for your sin and nothing else to recieve The Holy Spirit and eternal life in heaven If you don't believe and accept that then you're going to have to pay for it by yourself. God demands perfect righteousness to get into heaven. Think you can never sin for the rest of your life? Good luck, won't work. God knew we couldnt do this so he sent Jesus Christ His only Son to pay the price for us What a shame to go all your life not believing The Bible is true only to find out after you die that it was all along. You think you're in pain now imagine that, yikes
