the problem with suicide is that it doesnt stop the problem from recurring since more humans will be borne and matter will end up reconfigured into new people who will just be back at the same place killing themselves over and over again. of course when we are extinct it will be over but we cant then know that extinction will be eternal. the only solution would be to leave some machine or thing behind that could scan the universe for any sign of life and destroy it before it occurs again but who knows if this is even possible. of course we should still die as soon as possible and in the least conscious way possible but the problem just keeps starting over and over again. its a terrible situation from every perspective. i dont think the concept of individuality means anything or has any real correlate to something that actually exists and there is obviously no clear line demarcating conscious entities but thinking about that aspect of things becomes very confusing very fast. the only "good" thing is that we can at least know we're gonna die and we're always forced into it whether we like it or not eventually.
