> To want to be alive is irrational.
This is some philosophy bullshit. Taking "rational" to be ~ "logical choice" the truthness of this statement depends on the assumed axioms, and given you didn't list them this statement is clearly false under rather simple "sum of all life is the value" system until that system is proven self-contradictory. Which I doubt you or the famous mouths you mentioned did at any point, because it probably is not.
Even if being alive was irrational by some measure, it’s not a particularly useful or helpful observation.
The desire or instinct to be alive is necessary for the survival of a sentient species. (Sentient, not sapient)
