The Rode to Suicide

laziness • reluctance to work or use energy

emotionalism • arousing or characterized by intense feeling. Following feelings as a source of truth and to determine the best course of action.

subjectivism • the claim of no external or objective truth. The notion that senses and tricks of the mind fool us therefore we must have no confidence in knowledge. Knowledge is not within our capability.

solipsism • the self is all that can be known. The existence of anything other than me is self-deception.

Heisenberg uncertainty principle (routinely misunderstood) • the principle that the momentum and position of a particle cannot both be precisely determined at the same time. More generally the idea that not all of a thing's aspects can be measured.

Schrodinger's cat (usually misnamed as Heisenburg) • observation effects results. More generally the notion that by looking at something we change it and therefore all observations are suspect and we can know nothing.

nihilism • maintaining that nothing in the world has a real existence therefore life is meaningless.

fatalism • the belief that all events are predetermined and inevitable;
a submissive attitude to events, resulting from such a belief. More generally the idea that nothing we do can improve anything.

suicide • the action of intentionally killing oneself.
