This is why I unironically support free and easy access to assisted suicide for everyone. There would need to be a months-long vetting procedure with professionals, but part of freedom is being able to opt out
Once I saw a duck walking down the street so I went into Subway and ordered two pieces of bread, and they informed me that they could not do that, like there was some speical rule at Subway that two pieces of bread weren’t allowed to touch. So the woman asked me what I wanted on the sandwich and I said I do not care, it is for a duck, and she was like oh then it’s free. I was not aware that ducks eat for free at Subway. It’s like give me a chicken fajita sub, but don’t worry about ringing it up, it is for a duck!
This is the notion of Heidegger’s “thrownness”, which I love as a philosophy concept for how straightforward it is. We all have this feeling that we were “thrown into” the world without choice and have to make the best of the situation we’re born into.
