This is just a very brief observation. Because I want to think about it, and I’m a connoisseur of ideas. Even a monkey could write a comment like: Nice, good, great!

Hmm. Passages I’m pondering.

"The world feels small and artificial, a malevolent panopticon observed by a demiurge feasting on despair. Even fleeting raw moments are reprieves in a bubble you can never leave."

"The problem for man as for other animal isn’t stress or suffering, but the feeling that one can’t escape…"

(My comment) I agree with this perception of time. In fact, the only time a person can truly realize they are alive is when they are bored. Why? Because that’s when a person focuses on every sensation.

(paraphrase)

As soon as a great power imposes its will...

comfort increases, and thus many are born who, from the moment of their birth, experience life in a state of exhaustion...

It is the very nature of domestic life that presents the world as a closed, private space, and although humanity as a whole adapts to this state—both biologically and culturally—even in the most ordinary people there remains a glimmer of the opposite tendency

(My comment) I totally agree. I’m going with this selective perspective :D

This has long been how I describe myself—my alter ego in music:

My music goes against the comfort that numbs.

"You feel the weight, that thick, suffocating despair, bleakness choking the horizon, skepticism poisoning every dream, loneliness of hollowed-out shared meaning. These objections pile up like corpses. Why even try?"

(My comment) For last very hanks—I had to work it out for myself—because I’m lazy and complacent, so I only did it in my head. Why bother trying at all? Why not just kill myself?

The answer lies in transcendence and faith, which I don’t believe is true in and of itself.

When I feel like continuing to read, I'll leave next comment.

Thank you.

The rest of the article suggests how to test those feelings.

Btw, your axiom should be, "never kill yourself."

Axiom, I repeat. Don't even try to argue against it.

Also, a heroic death is something totally different from suicide.
