Tp4 is in a simulation.

Nothing in Tp4's life makes sense.

It's implausible that a person with this many opportunities chooses to deliberately desire and achieve nothing.

He has every possibility to make friends, yet he un-waveringly chooses solitude. But as discussed in the previous sentence, Tp4 has no resolve to "want" anything at all, neither money nor experience. The entirety of Tp4's persona is characterized by an anxious stare into a PC screen, watching the events of the world pass him by. In relative terms, yes Tp4 is aware he's objectively quite "lucky." There are much harsher lives.

At every point Tp4 demands an OUT, ARCH, Escape, there is some new TV show or world catastrophe which arrives just in time to keep Tp4 distracted and lulls Tp4 into an un-resolving, lengthy thought, landing onto yet another repetitive stage of circularity.


If karmic reincarnate systems do exist, Tp4 must've been a terrible criminal of some sort to deserve this systematic blandness. 

Tp4 certainly hopes the universe wants something, because he's completely lost and alone among 8 billion humans/ probable NPCs.


No, Tp4 has not the desire for self-termination, he is intellectually confident such act would not resolve this limbo.


What the heck is Tp4 here to do, he can not save mankind hell bent on destroying itself.

In my opinion it is important to have interests that are outside of your "basic" functions in order to expand your mind.

People who enjoy their work are generally more content, but that may not be possible for everyone - many jobs just plain suck.

Speaking for myself, I find the "Arts and Sciences" to be endlessly fascinating and listening to complex music and reading serious books are essential daily activities. I also usually watch an hour or 2 of TV, sometimes mindless and sometimes serious. I usually prepare my evening meal and that gives me some minor satisfaction.

Then there are things that occur randomly. Tomorrow I am going on a hike in the woods with a couple of friends. I have 2 beehives that require maintenance but I can go weeks without touching them. I do some occasional amount of woodworking, and some "craft" projects like screen printing. In the warm seasons I keep a moderate garden, and my yard does require some maintenance (ugh).

So this all falls in the "personal fulfillment" category and I am generally a happy and positive person. But, in the grand scheme of things, am I contributing to the advancement of the human race? Probably minimal.
 
Lastly, I derive no pleasure from complaining and accusing, so I avoid them if possible. But as I have watched the world become a more ugly and hateful (and, let's be honest, more stupid) place over the course of my lifetime, it is ever harder to maintain a positive outlook.
“The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.” - George Carlin

"Politicians have been proving Carlin right for decades. The GOP and the second Trump Administration seem bent on doing what they’ve always done, sometimes even turning the American Dream into the American Nightmare. Taxes are a major contributor, especially the billions upon billions that the rich and corporations don’t pay. Trump and his fellow Republicans are committed to keeping it that way — and, if their slim Congressional majorities can stick together, to do even more for those who need it the least. As one small example, the overall corporate tax rate could drop to 20%; domestic manufacturers could do even better, ending up with an effective corporate rate of 15%. The federal tax code is famous (and infamous) for its huge handouts to those with the highest incomes, the most egregious being the cap on Social Security taxes."
