Of course, Hamlet contemplated suicide. But, Hamlet was afraid of "the dreams that may come." It is fear, the fear of death, that keeps people from killing themselves. If people were certain that death would be nothingness, suicide rates would soar. I look for theoretical physicists and geneticists to conclude that our consciousness is just ether from the electrical reactions from our neurons. Once this Hard Problem is revealed mathematically, suicide rates will rise.

immortal life isnt a good thing, imagine being able to think and exist FOREVER, that is a torture more horrific than any other surely??

"no matter how much of a fan you are of harp music... ITS GONNA GET OLD." hah!

@GorterPoss Great point!

Camus proclaimed that "one must imagine Sisyphus happy." because when Sisyphus acknowledges and knows that his work is indeed useless, this realization causes him to experiences a state of contented acceptance and this acceptance therefore bring him relief and joy despite the obvious suffering.
-
Camus saw the Sisyphus story as an example of absurdity. The real answer is that it is better not knowing our afterlife destination.
-
@lazyoldsun good comment; nietzsche's live dangerously is the closest to imagining sisyphus happy.
-
@lazyoldsun or i can just decide to end it instead of living and constantly battling the absurdity

yea I always felt like Camus didn't actually make any conclusions. He proclaimed one must imagine Sisyphus happy, somehow in relation to the "heights" he reached, but I highly doubt Camus felt this way in any sincere manner.
It doesn't matter either way. Human beings systematically create delusions for themselves to fill the emptiness that results from this problem, and whatever makes them content is good enough, but never universal.
There is nothing that will fill this void in actuality.
