Preface- Understanding the necessity of working with subjectivity.
Introduction- The Question: Should I continue to exist? Basis of philosophical thought in creating an existence that allows humanity to thrive.
Section 1: Welcome to Not Nothing- The duality of human nature- rejection and destruction, or acceptance and building given the
inherent structure of existence which is- "We have free will, we are not all powerful, we are not all knowing, and we experience the
universe with a biological framework and consciousness."
Section 2: Destruction and Building- Cultivating power, facing powerlessness. Path of destruction involves a lack of self-control,
courage, wonder, and/or humor, with the person succumbing to powerlessness through either wrath, depression, madness, hedonism, or
ignorance due to the lack. Path of building involves self-control, courage, wonder, and a sense of humor.
Section 3: Power, Biology and Society- Maintaining a strong society (and individual) through a balancing of the pursuance of our
animalistic nature completely with a complete rejection, and a balancing of the desire to obtain all-power and the desire to relinquish
all power from oneself. A society comprised of men and women pursuing an animalistic/hedonistic sexual nature will crumble. The polar
nature of masculinity in men and femininity in women must be upheld.
Section 4: A World Completely Off the Mark- Application of the philosophy into the areas of Government, Politics, Economics,
Agriculture, Environment, Science, Crime and Punishment, Mental Illness, The Media/Entertainment/TV/Internet/Porn/Advertising, Lack of
Freedom/Technology/Overpopulation/Overcomplication/Globalism, and The Exploration of Outer Space. Focus is in creating a society in
which people feel the most power, connection with one another, and connection with the universe.

"Wrath
Our inherent meaningless existence produces mental and physical suffering. Other people or society as a whole can exacerbate suffering
produced by existing. The source of this mental and physical suffering is powerlessness. An individual that feels powerless may
reject the conditions that produce the powerlessness and retaliate through wrath as an attempt to gain power. The attempt to gain
power through wrath is either the attempt to supersede the powerlessness by trying to obtain all the power one can get (which
indirectly creates destructiveness in the individual and society), or the direct destruction of anything that creates powerlessness.
Wrath is destruction and destruction is power.
Wrath is extreme power and extreme power is destruction."
I dare someone to try and refute this statement. Think of the endless applications of this statement in people's lives and in people's behavior in all areas.

>Wrath is extreme power and extreme power is destruction.
Wrath has no agency, dummy, and is not even a good means of acquiring power under our system of self-interested altruism called capitalism. And "power" does not imply destruction. Extreme power can be regenerative. Go find a shittier board to advertise your pseud book. Try /x/ or Veeky Forums.

Wrath
Our inherent meaningless existence produces mental and physical suffering. Other people or society as a whole can exacerbate suffering
produced by existing. The source of this mental and physical suffering is powerlessness. An individual that feels powerless may
reject the conditions that produce the powerlessness and retaliate through wrath as an attempt to gain power. The attempt to gain
power through wrath is either the attempt to supersede the powerlessness by trying to obtain all the power one can get (which
indirectly creates destructiveness in the individual and society), or the direct destruction of anything that creates powerlessness.
Wrath is destruction and destruction is power.
Wrath is extreme power and extreme power is destruction.
A loss of self-control is the primary reason for acting in wrath, but deficiencies in courage, wonder, and humor play major roles
as well. People may consciously or unconsciously be wrathful.
Wrath is not anger. Anger is a powerful tool and emotion that should be used in the path of building. Anger becomes wrath and
becomes destructive when one loses control, loses focus, and steps outside of what is productive and necessary for the preservation
of society and life.
If wrath occurs naturally in someone when exploring the true nature of their existence, or if it occurs naturally in someone due to
outside influences from society and other people, why not be wrathful? One must resist being wrathful because being wrathful is
being destructive towards life. Wrath is destructive because it deteriorates the mind, destroys bonds between people, destroys the
bond between the individual and the universe that makes life worth living, destroys ideas that preserve and provide a foundation
for an enjoyable life, and it directly inflicts unnecessary damage on other people and society. There are consequences for all
thoughts, all states of being, and all actions. These internalities and externalitites, or things that occur, influence the
collective and subjective planes of existence, which are in constant change. Wrath produces negative consequences for the planes of
existence.
When feeling powerless, the choice can be made to relinquish all self-control and act in wrath. This path is chosen to alleviate
the suffering because the individual feels backed into a corner with no other options. Any attempt to bargain with others or
oneself about the situation is seen as digging oneself further into weakness and despair. Wrath is seen as necessary, Right,
effective, and a cathartic release of built up pressure and rage. The danger and destructiveness of wrath is its absoluteness,
insatiability, and extremeness.
Jacob Taylor
People are naturally averse to powerlessness. The form of this aversion determines if the individual is in a state of building or
destruction. Building is remaining in control of the anger, determining its source, and taking controlled action in deconstructing
the source of powerlessness if necessary. The wrathful person loses control over the anger and unleashes destruction. The wrathful
individual begins to develop a sense of absoluteness and insatiability in eradicating the powerlessness. The individual may be
completely justified in feeling angry and may be justified in venturing a little into a wrathful state, but if that person allows
that wrath to take hold then they are down the path of destruction. A person must manage their anger in the initial short term and
take short and long term steps in alleviating their suffering. There is no future in wrath.
An individual will naturally feel angry towards feelings of powerlessness, but it is how the individual then deals with the
scenario after the feeling of anger that determines if they are destructive or building.
Some forms of powerlessness are natural and unchanging.
The individual must recognize and understand the nature of this powerlessness.
Attempts to eradicate this form of powerlessness are completely useless and instead it must be worked with.
Some forms of powerlessness are non-existent or blown out of proportion and therefore incorrectly perceived by a person that is
hostile towards their feeling of powerlessness.
The individual must seek to understand the situation better.
Attempts to eradicate this powerlessness are completely or partially misguided and destructive and may upset power structures. The
individual is excessively hostile towards the powerlessness and is automatically wrathful.
Some forms of powerlessness are unnatural and destructive and perceived correctly for what they are in form and magnitude.
Action must be taken against this powerlessness, but it must be done in a controlled manner or else the individual is wrathful.
The individual must have courage in facing adversity both natural and unnatural, and must have self-control when trying to perceive
and eradicate powerlessness.
As opposed to anger, wrath is absolute. Absoluteness rejects the nuances of any situation and opens up the individual to
deterioration if the individual cannot reason, control, or view things with a broad long-term perspective. Wrath is all or nothing
in the attempt to eradicate powerlessness. With absoluteness the wrathful individual completely disregards the nuances of power and
life, and completely disregards everything external to the self. Everything external to the self is seen as a threat to the
individual's power and therefore must be subjugated to the individual's power in retaliation. When an individual is locked into
wrathful thinking and acting, the desire to alleviate their suffering becomes insatiable. This leads to extreme behavior.
Isaac Jenkins
The insatiability of wrath deteriorates the mind and the individual clashes destructively with the external. The mind that is
insatiable for power is a mind of constant suffering with the individual incapable of enjoying life. It is a one-track mind hell
bent on destruction. There is no wonder or humor in this mind. The value of life, of both the self and others, plummets. With this
plummeting of value with regard to life, the individual is ripe for acting destructively in extreme ways. The insatiability forces
the individual to act extremely in the quest for eradicating powerlessness and obtaining power. There is seemingly no other way to
handle the situation.
Extreme behavior is behavior that is outside of what is productive and necessary for the preservation of society and life. This
extreme behavior comes in many forms, all destructive, which I will discuss later. The wrathful individual lashes out at
everything- the external, or even the internal. This individual does not care about the consequences of their actions. Control is
discarded, and more or all behaviors are acceptable, no matter how their consequences are played out into the planes of existence.
Time ceases to exist. The past is forgotten, the future is irrelevant, the only time is now, the only thing that exists is the
individual. Any attempt to regain control over a powerless situation that is not a forceful attempt to quickly remedy the situation
is perceived by the individual as dragging themself deeper into weakness, fueling the wrathful individual to seek power faster and
more forcibly. After a certain point if the individual perceives that all attempts to gain power are futile, the individual turns
to destroying everything that has made them feel the way they do. In the final form of the pursuance of wrath, the destruction of
things external to the self and the destruction of the self are intertwined in a complete loss of self-control and rejection of
life. If not destruction through wrath, the individual gives up completely on life and destroys themself through depression.
Wrath is on a spectrum, with some level of control and lower magnitude on one end and a complete loss of control and extremeness on
the other. Wrath fuels wrath, only control takes a person out of a wrathful state, so a person existing in a low state of wrath
will naturally delve deeper and move to the other side of the spectrum. There is a spectrum of wrathfulness in the seeking of
extreme power, in the seeking of direct destruction, and in a combination of both. A wrathful individual may easily overlap wrath
through the attempt to gain excessive power with wrath by destroying. An individual tends to first seek all of the power they can
get and then realize any futility and seek to destroy, but they are intertwined.
Ethan Rivera
Wrath as Power-Seeking:
Wrath through power seeking is on a spectrum of destructiveness. Some inconsequential power seeking through wrath is not that
destructive, while other extreme forms of wrathful power seeking are highly destructive. Inconsequential power seeking through
wrath leads the individual more easily to highly consequential wrathful power seeking.
Wrath does not have to be a violent destructive physical act done in one instance. It can be a long drawn out affair in setting out
to control and dominate others over a lifetime. Power and control come in many forms. Examples of the power an individual seeks
excessively may be monetary power, political power, or the power to shape people's thoughts and actions with or without them
knowing it. The wrathful person seeks extreme monetary power, political power, or influential power because of the control over
other people that becomes possible with it. The wrathful person uses these forms of power to obtain more power, and they use the
more power to obtain more power. Wrathful people do not use the power they have in influencing people to help those people self-
actualize, they only use their power to increase their power even further at the expense of others and to control others for the
sake of their own power. The excessive power-seeking in one person is the suffering in another.
Greed is a form of power seeking and insulation from the world and others. Greed and power seeking both neglect anything external
to the individual, whether it is other people or ideas that bring people together, in the attempt to gain power over the given
situation. The wrathful greedy person disregards others, exploits others, and hoards their power. This person feels that if they
hoard enough power they can gain control over their powerless state of being, yet no matter how much power an individual attains,
it is never enough power to compensate for the objective meaninglessness of existence. Hoarding and excessive power-seeking are not
the remedy to objective meaninglessness. Due to their ignorance, the wrathful individual still continues their pursuit of power to
no end. Living a life of frugality and cooperation aligns a person with the path in attaining happiness in meaninglessness, as you
will see later.
Attempting to gain all power leads the individual to power by direct destruction. Power hungry individuals are very likely to be
externally and self-destructive individuals in the first place. This is because these two scenarios are of the same nature, wrath.
Power-hungry individuals may destroy in order to further their power or they may discard seeking power in control by seeking power
in the relinquishing of control and acting in pure destructive wrath. Excessive power-seekers lack a real sense of self, and lack
the necessary type of power in order to be happy, so they delve in self-destruction.
