Because suffering for no reason is pointless and nihilistic.If none exist then just man up, silently suffering in stoicism with dignity as best one can. Nobody seems to be able to do that at all anymore, probably another thing to blame the Internet for.
All of the moralizing and pseudointellectual philosophical nonsense is just that - nonsense.
Here's what it comes down to: Do these help you in your day to day life, or not. It's a simple cost/benefit analysis.
If it helps, use them if not, don't.
Jersh is making an argument that medication makes people complacent: and while that has merit, there's no reason someone *needs* to be complacent while taking medication. Being a SSRI'd out zombie won't stop you from setting and accomplishing goals. People are complacent because they choose to be, simple as.
Anyways, all of this stuff really reminds me of things like Ted K's manifesto
and that argument the "you aren't fucked up... it's society that's fucked up" and I believe that really is a large cause of peoples distress.
You're not meant to eat goyslop and work in a cubicle while being constantly bombarded with "white man is .. le bad!" propaganda and so naturally that makes people miserable. And that's probably a large factor in the boom of SSRI's/psychiatry/therapy industry.
tldr: workout and eat healthy, stop drinking and watching porn all the time. if that doesn't help, then consider ssris. Or if you can't get the fuck out of bed to do those things, consider using ssris temporarily until you can and then see what happens once you have healthy habits. You can't figure out how to live healthy if you don't have a healthy foundation (exercise, eating well, touching grass) so figure it out once you can get to that baseline.
And stop fucking drinking alcohol. Added twice because it's important.
