I'm afraid no one can help you if "everyone" is "insane".
Sorry.

Further, you don't want help from people you believe are insane; you'd just like to act pretentious and aloof.

Based on some of your other posts, you should write Ted Kaczynski, he shares your mindset towards humans and our relationship with the environment. He's a 'reasonable' person who you may find agreeable to interact with.

of course no one could help me. why would I be looking for help from any person? I've never witnessed anyone who was in a position that I'd consider worth existing in.

Do you always converse with others just to engage in Virtue Signalling?

I am sure Mr kazynski would be very insightful on bringing an end to these feelings. Especially since I noticed that you provided a postal address and instructions about a stamped self-addressed envelope and not an email.

So why did you start this thread?

@Fnord, contempt for all other humans is by no means a virtue.

"Virtue Signalling" occurs when an individual indicates that others are less 'virtuous' for whatever reason.

"At least I am not like all those unreasonable people..." is an example. It signals (by implication) that the speaker thinks (or wants us to believe) he or she is more reasonable than everyone else, and thereby possesses greater virtue.

Lack of money sounds like: Blah, blah, blah, blah

So pretty much "everyone" has to be a mercenary then, huh? :roll:

People who say, "Money isn't everything" are usually the same people in greatest need of a handout.

Having now had time to review the OPs posting history, and noting the flagrant trolling et al, he has been banned.

I guess we're all guilty of this.
I just try to make it in ways that make other people feel better, not worse.
And the very sentence I just wrote is my virtue signalling.
Unescapable.
