user,
how do you stop thinking about the fact that life is meaningless, and nothing we do matters, and we all going to die.

I mostly just jerk off and drink. Sometimes at the same time.

This. And acceptance. I've found beauty in the truth of it all.

Try to give meaning to your life by doing things that help you feel fulfilled.

Drink, smoke, masturbate, video games.

focus on a hobby

I push that thought to the back of my head and continue on with my day

mostly drink, porn, Sup Forums, just overall try to keep busy and be ignorant to the fact it self. only downside is im a n introvert now since i socializing just makes it worst.

I try to distract myself. Not that it helps much.

We were all born dying.

none of that bothers me. if the things i did truly mattered on a universal scale it'd be too much responsibility for me and i just wouldn't do anything. also i'm glad i'm gonna die one day, living forever sounds boring as fuck

It just happens after a while and you realize that it's really fucking retarded to obsess and feel sad about it.

Just fuck it all, user. It took me a bit of time to start looking at it from the other side: life has no fucking meaning, so only thing worthy of doing is squezing as much plesure out of it before you die. Just do what makes you feel good and fuck the consequences

Remember this user. Each moment you live lasts forever. our lives no matter how relatively brief will remain points in time like diamonds scattered on the shores of eternity.

It disgusts me when so many religicucks and medicucks and lawcucks try to convince me life isn't a complete waste and totally worth slavewaging away to until I get so old I can't even keep from shitting myself and full of regrets of all the shit I wanted to do, but didn't because I was afraid of death or harm or imprisonment or even just simple embarrassment. But yeah, drinking, and drugging and fapping and vidya are all fine too

do what rick does: don't think about it.

become an active nihilist and just focus on a hobby that's generally productive to your life

...

Boxing. It's hard to think about anything after getting smacked

Well that's fucking gay

I pretend there's a god.

that's the only relaxing thought I have

>user,
>how do you stop thinking about the fact that life is meaningless, and nothing we do matters, and we all going to die.

By dying.

Wisdom of Chopra status... Although I am a B-theorist.

I love that life has no meaning. I can make it up as I go along and change my mind about what's important to me on a whim :)

I dunno. Having friends, girlfriends, fuckbuddies ect and weed hell honestly. Hobbies too. I'm also deep as fuck so I link up with like minded people. It's alright right now. I was also depressed as fuck and started getting help. That helped too

Because i'm going to die anyway, nothing matters.

Ima live my life how I want it, when I want it, nothing matters.

Honestly I made my peace with that a long time ago. The constant misery and suffering in the meantime is what I can't get over.

OP, when you observe the lowest lifeforms, you learn the only meaning and point of life is to survive by consuming, procreating, and defending and furthering your species.

Other than that, no, there is no divine meaning to life. As the old saying goes, life only has meaning you provide it with. Some people's main meaning of life, for example, is to care, provide for, and to protect their family.

I'm sorta of an nihilist, but I can't be being that I am agnostic. A part of me wants to believe there is a higher, divine meaning to life, but evidence lacks to support that.

anyone who describes themselves as "deep as fuck" probably isn't actually deep as fuck

I would like to be happy like the religious folks in my town. I'd like to have a normal family, a good one that stays together and loves each other.
I can't make myself believe in God. I should be dead already, but I still know it's not for any significant reason, I'm not that fucking special. I believe death is what gives this life meaning, purpose. I'd like to be immortal, I used to fantasize about becoming a scientist that stated a company to print organs so I could achieve an extended, if not indefinite lifetime. I have purpose, that's to seek out the love of my life. I don't want to see my loved ones die. They'll fade away like I will, consequently I'll dedicate all my time to being there for them, even the ones I hate. For in my final moments, I'll want as many by my side as possible, and not on this stupid fucking hamster wheel we all run on for sustenance, to buy shit that's meaningless once we're dead. I want to experience the most, enjoy the most, and suffer the most. I want to do everything I want, even bring those I hate excruciating suffering. My actions have no consequence. I'm insignificant, like everyone else. More than anything else though, I'll still seek her out. I meant it when I said forever.

>as the old saying goes, life only has meaning you provide it with
what old saying is that? I don't think that's actually a saying, user.

Also, observing life to see what life does is not an argument for saying that reproduction and survival are the point of life. They're just functions of life. Very basic, definitional functions, but they're still not "purpose" or "meaning".

The thing about getting over fear of death is that you don't actually have to get over it.
You can be as scared as you want of death, or accept it or even worship the fucking void. We're all going to the same place and it doesn't really matter how you feel about it.

That said, if you want to live a "good" life, you should probably be distracting yourself from the fact of death. I dunno.

But yeah, life is meaningless and that's only a problem if you're presupposing that it's not meaningless.

>I would like to be happy like the religious folks in my town.

Yeah, I envy that peace and fellowship religious people have. But it doesn't outweigh blind faith –at least not for me.

>I can't make myself believe in God.
>believe

That's because you're more rational and logical than your average devotee. To believe is to accept something exist by having blind faith. Fuck that. I need tangible, physical evidence. Fuck belief. I want to know. I want to accept facts, not believe in fairy tales.

*tips fedora*

Whatever you say user

I stopped being a faggy 16 year old having his first existential crisis

I'd rather it be meaningless than to please a judge or judges And have a meaning i have to live by to make sure it has its value so don't forget, i mean wtf starting to go insane

Never care for anything because i am in control of my judgement and that gives me the power to give anything meaning
The only meaning in life you need is memory everything else is just a tool to appreciate

>what old saying is that? I don't think that's actually a saying, user.

Perhaps you don't live in America? That saying gets throw around a lot here. If you do live in America, you don't pay attention, do you?

>Also, observing life to see what life does is not an argument for saying that reproduction and survival are the point of life. They're just functions of life. Very basic, definitional functions, but they're still not "purpose" or "meaning".

I respectfully disagree. Meaning and purpose are defined by and up to the individual. Hence why it differs so greatly among the species, and why it differs so greatly among humanity.

The inherent point of lifeforms, in fact, is to consume, procreate, and to further the existence of its species. Everything else, such as the meaning and purpose of life, is defined and decided by the individual, not by the whole, or by some divine theology.

>I'm also deep as fuck
>weed smoker
Fucking hell I can literally see how much of a faggot you are through your post, you absolute fucking gimp

do some drugs, a LOT of drugs

You're right, OP.

I function though. You just find enjoyment things, and work towards them - your family, women, so and so forth.

think about other things

...

Get high and/or drunk. Or play a video game. Or masturbate. Pretty much anything else you can do that occupies your higher reasoning ability will override the whole "meaning is a human invention" subroutine.

Source?

I just follow my chart

I do live in America and I've never heard that saying.

You're saying that the point of life is to live, but I still see that as a definitional truth, not a purpose.

Fire burns. That's what it does. That's not the POINT of fire, though. There is no point of fire. It's just a thing that happens.

Life lives. Organisms reproduce and survive. It's just what they do.

The "meaning" or "purpose" of something is a designation applied to it by humans. A tool has a purpose, insofar as it has an intended use. When asked what the purpose of a car is, a person would rightly reply "to help people get around".

When we apply the same definition of purpose to a natural phenomenon such as life--in this case, human life--we're back to square one. It just IS. There's no other purpose or meaning. Just like fire and rocks and space.

by actually living your life

Focus on the here and now, and stay fully-engaged in my hobbies and what I want out of life.

some people manage to change the world for the better, are you implying you just don't even want to try? go work for tesla, they same to be on a mission to better this world.

I smoke weed, vape, and drink. I'll do psychadellics is they are there. That's how I deal atm. I've been through a shitton of stuff, maybe some where others would have killed themselves but I just keep going because I don't think anything happens after you die and I'm just down with chillin on earth till I die out...

Also running and excersise in general helps ya feel better so I do that too, also eating somewhat healthy definitally makes ya feel better. We're all gonna make it brah

>chinese robot
>named "YangYang"

you can't make this shit up

Sorry can't spell for shit niggaaaaa

I'm not smart enough to. Hell, I had to wait until I was 21 to enroll in college/Uni, and by the time I did, I wasn't even smart enough to properly major in something respectable like engineering or Computer Science. I'll die, and I already know I'd be forgotten about in less than 2 generations by anyone even remotely close to me.

I'm okay with this. Nothing can escape the darkness of entropy anyway.

yes yes...
>ε“ˆε“ˆε“ˆ

>I do live in America and I've never heard that saying.

I dunno what to say. Move out of your ethnic enclave, and actually get to know the place, and people.

some folks say that any lifeform's purpose is to make more of itself

>I do live in America and I've never heard that saying.

Keep your ears and eyes open, user, and maybe you will someday. I say that respectfully, because I have heard it several times.

I get what you're conveying. While biological lifeforms are hardwired to consume and procreate, that's not the point of life. I get it.

Screen capped this conversation, because I like to dwell on and think about things like this. I suppose I'm guilty of what most humans are guilty of: perverting reality with our pea size brains.

Everything you do will have an impact, most likely very minor but still, even after you will be long gone. You have the power to change the future.

Also, from space, technically, there will always be a spot somewhere even in the distant future, where your current location and time will be vieawble (same logic as, what we see today in deepspace is what was long ago..), none will look at it of course but it is a possibility, so in theory, every action you do will live on, echoing through space and exist, from somewhere, forever.

Honestly just accept that fact, it's the human ego that makes people freak out about this kinda shit. Fuck it if it doesn't mean shit then it doesn't mean shit, nothing you can do about it. Get over yourself. Human scum.

Are you a nihilist? Do you think life has any purpose, or, like I said earlier, it's defined by the individual?

I'm not this user

I've never read about nihilism, but if it's a bunch of people who think death is the most important part of life, I don't think I'm one of them.

Yeah, life can have meaning. Sure. We apply "purpose" to things all the time--like the tool and the car in my previous post. If we can apply meaning to some things, we can apply meaning to anything. Who's gonna stop us? We can say the purpose of the sun is to stop global warming. By that definition, the sun is pretty shitty.

Likewise, we can say the purpose of "me" is to yell at black people on the internet. In this case, I am doing great.

Should probably acknowledge that the meaning is something we defined, though. Not a thing that exists in the absence of humans. Don't HAVE to, though.

I mean, I looked it up and I can't find any references to the saying "life only has meaning you provide it with"

>but if it's a bunch of people who think death is the most important part of life, I don't think I'm one of them.

Existential Nihilists reject that life has any inherent meaning, purpose, value, etc. That's all.

>I mean, I looked it up and I can't find any references to the saying

Try "Life is what you make of it." That's usually how it's worded.

You're correct, but you lack vision. In an infinte universe inherently devoid of meaning, you are matter with the unique traits of sentience, sapience, and self - determination. Take advantage of the privileges granted to your station. Stop caterwauling. Find people, ideas, and acts worth dedicating yourself to, and commit. Our time here is brief and filled with pain and beauty, so take it all in. Cultivate your mind and perception through education and experience. And don't be afraid to take real risks, it's not like any of us make it out alive anyways.

You are all such faggots.
Everything is pointless,so fucking what? I like the way I live,I don't need s point to do something I like,because the point of doing it is that I like it.
If you don't like the way you live,change or kill yourself

I take zoloft for that

I'm you.

You are what you is, you ain't what your not

>Frank Zappa'd

ayy a fellow zappa fan

Whatever you say user. Have a good day today doing whatever it is you do out there in the world. I'll smoke some weed for you. Good vibes

Do you feel good about yourself now? Genuinely curious

Yea, he was a fucking genius. I didn't get into him until long after he died. Actually what got me interested in his music was that I was a fan of Steve Vai. As great as Steve is, I don't think he really holds a candle to Zappa.

drugs help you stop thinking about things. Once you start you can't stop though, blinking 10 or 20 years away is enough to make you want to kill yourself. So just plow on through to your happy overdose. You're welcome.

It gets boring after a while and you just kind of accept it and move on, essentially.

...

sauce?

Don't see the point in worrying, if death is just a great nothing then I don't see much to fear, Its not bad, just nothing.

haha that's a pun. it's funny you laughed, queer.

It's pointless to mope about a lack of meaning, as it's something we have no control over and doesn' really impact our day to day lives much. Nothing we do matters objectively but we can still find things that matter to us; if you can't find anything then just try new shit until you find something you like.

Also Death, that's a thing but who gives a shit. If you suddenly woke up tomorrow and knew you were going to be alive for the rest of eternity how would that improve things? You've been dead before so it's not like it's really that scary. Besides after your 60K birthday do you think you would happy to be still alive? Or would you regret being bound to your flesh prison?

>Drink, smoke, masturbate, video games.
My life

Heroin?
Cocaine?
Meth?
Chalk?
Bath salts?
Ketamine?

By realizing that you can't depend on someone or something to give meaning to your life, but that you have to find your own meaning.
Of course we are all going to die, but that shouldn't stop you from living life to the fullest while you can.

Why do you need meaning, why should what you do matter, and everyone dies except Michael Myers

Theirs no inherent meaning so fuck it just make your own principles to live by and try not to get boged down in the bullshit

I don't, and i feel good about it. There is no need to suffer or worry, we all gonna die, there is no god, and after death there is only void.

i play some vidya

Only dumbasses experience existential crises.

Life is innately meaningless, nothing means anything.

However, we as humans have spent most of our history learning to shackle nature to our will. We give meaning where there once was none.

Take pride in the fact that your species controls everything it can grasp and quickly learns to destroy what it can't.

OP take your mind off it. Honestly, you will never find an answer that satisfies you, EVER. Either take your mind off it or become a stupid religious sheep and believe in something that makes no sense. It's up to you, but we all have to deal with teh same thing as you, you are the trillionth person to think of the same question, and there will be a trillion more unless we are destroyed before then.

>Chalk
Tf??

>how do you stop thinking about the fact that life is meaningless, and nothing we do matters, and we all going to die.


you dont. thats why you just try to have as much fun as you can until you die.

Entropy says you're wrong. This universe has a life span, and it is finite.

Nothing lasts forever unless it's preserved forever, you are just wrong.

>not accounting for entropy

Everything will end eventually, user.

No one will be around to see it happen.

just because time will someday stop doesn't mean each point in time isn't infinitesimally small and therefore infinitely detailed

go on Sup Forums

nice quads

I'm off to the Dr on Monday and I already know he's gonna tell me I got a fatty liver.
Fells bad man.
What do I do now?

Definitely not re-evaluate your life choices.

It's all pointless. I chase emotions and endorphin for the most part, to ground myself in reality. I mountain bike to get my adrenaline going, wiping out on occasion and relish that I didn't manage to die. I fuck because that shit feels great. I run around with my kid and my dog for the daws. Nothing has to have meaning if you are doing something that feels good. If you are a fat piece of shit with no motivation working at some minimum wage job you should probably just kill yourself.

Try sucking two cocks at the same time. I think that helps.

Impregnation.

My life may be meaningless, but maybe one of my (grand)children might find a purpose in life.
