deadass serious question, guys:

Give me a good answer, b
because nothing matters is exactly the reason to live.
Money is what you need in case you don't die tomorrow
"Just what are you, and where do you fit into this world? You may be a grain of piss dried on the floor of the queen's toilet. You may be the most important brick in the least important wall. But really, you're just a bit of something, on a bit of something else. It's important to remember this before expecting anything better."
You can't fap if you're dead
I hold on to the beilief that in our lifetime immortality will become possible, gets me through the days
Get some sleep and talk to a pastor. Since your asking the big questions.
If you can't see any of the many incredible reasons to live then maybe you are just a piece of shit and should stop milking the tits of the uprising and greenstone Earth project because when NASA calls and asks why is life meaningful you can say I drank from the righteous herbs of the whole mother tribal experience. You fucking dumbass
It's not about the destination. It's about the journey.
I like living it's pretty nice and I try to enjoy myself whenever I can. Anyone else on this board happy?
We are all afraid of dying though, aren't we?
Naw man, I'm /sad/
Was that on your Whole Foods receipt you hippie
dipshit?
If someone gives you a million dollars, why spend it on fun stuff, when you'll end up with no money left at the end, just amazing experiences and memories?
If every one of our ancestors thought like you (a pussy bitch) then human progress would have ceased at cavemen banging rocks together. "Waaah life is pointless" said the guy who invented the computer, chair, house, car, toilet, electricity, and all other things you take for granted. Yea life is so pointless, we might as well just roll over and cry about it instead of, I dunno innovating and increasing the human life span, colonizing other planets, advancing beyond what a simp like you can even dream of. God I hate this pussy ass generation.
Not in the slightest, life without death is meaningless. Not that life with death is, but it's less paradoxical at least.
I'm sorry I didn't mean that. I'm just tired. Goodnight everybody.
I am, I get panic attacks from that shit xdd
Or a philosopher. Just go to a coffee shop or a nice craft beer bar. They're either behind the counter, arguing in a group, or reading a book about philosophy.
Don't worry about it. Takes a lot more than that to get me riled up. And no, not from a Whole Food receipt. It was a Traders Joe receipt.
Does black sound more interesting to you than life? My drive to live comes from a desire for experiences.
I'm 46 workin in a deadend job with no wife or kids, the fuck you mean "this generation"?
What if there is nothing after we die? What if we go back to before we were born we never existed.
I don't wanna live forever but it sucks if their is nothing after this life.
I was talking to the guy next door he's in his 80s I said to him don't you fear dying he says to me it's like going to sleep and never waking up.
Sometimes I hate going to sleep because you never know if you're going to wake up or if it's the end.
Kys and find out do it no balls
OP here, trips have decided my fate.
Hey...just finished loading the fridge from a trip there today. Was the 1st time in weeks i didnt spend over 400...
Rust Cohle redpilled me
My serious belief, is that existence exists because it sure seems like I'm here as opposed to just perpetual non-consciousness. If that makes sense it leads me to think that reincarnation in some way is "how it works" so I think you should just do good and not bad, however that gets defined in your life. Even people who think they are so good and others are so bad that they do things that other people would say is bad, are just doing them and that's how it all works and no one is perfectly correct.
because if we all died in the beginning we would all be dead already
there is none you should kys op
This is such an important question.
Think of it this way: Of all the universe, you were made a human. A conscious, thinking human. Not a stone, or an animal, or water, but a human.
That is all you are meant to be. There is no greater weight on you, or greater responsibility.
Life is meant to be lived, and it is up to you to decide what you want to experience.
Fear is natural, it is hardwired into us. But you can push beyond that and experience his unbelievable existence as a mortal, conscious human being.
Stay alive, stay alert. You'll find your way.
Jesus, man.
...
I need Jesus, real bad.
Haha fuck you didn't address any of OP's concerns. Even if we made the entire universe ours and it was a paradise what is the fucking point?
OP I don't have it in me for suicide. I'm a human being and that means I'm naturally inclined to be alive. It is what it is until it's over
We can all here acknowledge that after death you its just non existence like pre birth. The only hope for anyone here is if theyre between the ages of 0-25 and we ingeniously create a way to store and display consciousness on a screen.
Because it's our biological inclination to do so.
We live to ensure the advancement and survival of our species.
We go on trying to live because death is scary and we want to avoid it due to the instinct of self preservation.
We live because it's more interesting than dying, the possibility are endless so long as you are alive.
Honestly, there are millions of reasons, just pick which ever one tickles your fancy.
Kek, too true even though you sound like a retard
That's like asking "Why enjoy delicious food when you can't eat it forever?"
That's precisely why you live.
If life can come after some period of time of pre-birth and pre-birth is similar to after-life in essence then do you think it might go back and forth like a pendulum over and over. Maybe the pendulum slows down or goes in different directions
>eat shit reproduce die
>People who have no greater purpose than a fucking banana slug
yay for you, you're operating on the level of a fucking ant.
thankfully, most of us find something actually worth having a brain and using it for 80 years to justify the drudgery of everyday life in a system that can't provide a future for its people worth a shit.
We do it to spite how shitty it is, OP.
i am a retard, well played sir
Why not continue to live until we can't?
We might as well experience while we can.
I clearly said there are a million reasons, they are all just justifications we tell ourselves to make it feel like our lives have meaning.
You can make up whatever imaginary grand reason you want, it's still just an excuse because we can only speculate at the "reason for our existence". We are fucking ants, you dumb nigger.
That makes no sense Non-existence isnt a place you were in or go to after death, its a state of conscious self so what you're saying makes no sense. Consciousness is all in the brain.
There isnt some place with baby souls floating around waiting to be born
Because why not? May as well make the best of it without shitting on other people trying to do the same.
I've been thinking like this...
What if their was a life before this life but we don't remember it because our OS was reinstalled. Think of a computer if you format a computer does it remember all the stuff it had installed before? No you have to give the computer back that information but the real question is does that mean the computer remembers that information or does the computer think it's new information?
Short Answer: An horizon of tendies
Long Answer: An horizon of tendies plus android catgirls your last 20 yrs.
Can I get an amen for Rust Cohle everybody, teaching us that we are nothing but meaningless biological machines labouring under the illusion of having a self and that expecting a light at the end of the tunnel is simply an ontological fallacy.
>Rust Cohle
a guy from an hbo soap opera
muh sides
I found this thread whilst watching a video on his philosophy, that man is genius.
This.
Duh! To see Super Troopers 2
because that is all there is.
HBO happen to do some excellent soap operas, and you are just a dumb nigger shitposting faggot loser
I haven't figured this one out yet and I'm about to turn 37.
your titties getting bunched up is proof of how right i am
The way I live is like this...
If I say Hi does that mean you saw me say hi what if everything we say to someone and what they say back to us is what we wanna hear no matter how much we try to say help they can't hear saying help they hear what they want to hear you say.
I live like this where no matter what I'm saying in this thread your seeing something different than what I said.
about being a fucking loser*
I hope some Chad twists your mother up like a pretzel and fucks her in the ass whilst you watch sobbing silently
can anybody else read this, I think it is broken
>your tears
I heard what you said. but I want to say something different from what you want me to say.
This guy knows his shit.
Either way, your mothers sphincter is still getting stretched out.
Fuck dude. This video is everything that has made my mind chaotic for years.
>deadass
fuck off normie
she gets it right after that BBC is done with your dad
Bye.
Because I might get laid later. Plus the new starwars is coming out.
Hmm, that sounds, god fucking awful Rust
I get annoyed with the solitariness of consciousness.
Like why is there exactly one of me, controlling me.
Another thing that's always bothered me is the pleasure experienced from sex. The woman doesn't excrete some sort of enjoyment chemical that only she can make. It's just an activation of a (rather large) circuit in my head that squirts out some enjoyment chemicals.
So the whole idea of "the two becoming one" is bullshit. We don't physically merge bloodstreams and brain synapses. We're still very much apart and isolated even in the supposed most intimate moments.
Like, I literally want to merge consciousness with someone else. Just for a bit. Instead of this agency of one I have to deal with all the time.
Still comforting knowing that that whore of a mother is getting her arsehole rinsed.
Time is a flat circle
Can you imagine the horror of living this life, the exact same way, again and again. forever? trapped in a never ending cycle for eternity...
Since everyone heres anons youre clearly talking from your mothers experiences
>stop projecting so hard
checkmate dip
Yeah but think of it this way do you remember the life before this one? So maybe in your next life you won't even be as smart as you are right now.
Like I was saying what if there was a life before this life but we don't remember it what if for some reason I'm able to realize I lived before but I don't remember that life who's to say when we die the next life we will be smart enough to realize we lived in this life we're in right now.
I'm going to reincarnate as some dumb spider that makes a web in a worthless corner, waits, and slowly dies of dehydration.
Then I'll be a worm that eats basically shit, blindly flexing around until I get chopped up and bleed out when a tractor is tilling the field.
Then I'll be a deciduous tree that can't move, and barely makes any decisions at all, and feels the liquid sugar delight of sunshine and the agony of frostbite every year, and then pure pain as I'm finally sawed up into chunks, and then finally the sweet release of death as the stump grinder gnaws into my center of consciousness in the roots.
After that, who knows?
Well my phone battery is dying so I'm gonna go to bed if I don't wake up or post in a future thread then I guess I died.
why wipe your asshole if it''s just going to get shitty in the end?
Something to do mostly
Here's how I see it: life is like going to Disney Land. You get a pass, it's good for 70-80 years or so. You wander around, you go on the rides, you have a turkey leg, a couple drinks on the adult's island, maybe you fingerbang a chick in a Snow White costume, and then you leave. That's it, no point to it. You just show up, fuck around, have a little fun, then it's over. Something doesn't need to have meaning for you to enjoy it.
To fuck around with stupid people.
>What if their was a life before this life but we don't remember it because our OS was reinstalled.
For this analogy to work you would need the same body.
>Think of a computer if you format a computer does it remember all the stuff it had installed before?
No, that's the point of reformat
>No you have to give the computer back that information but the real question is does that mean the computer remembers that information or does the computer think it's new information?
The computer doesn't think at all, it just executes code. The reformat puts all the code in nice clean, ordered way that the computer immediately starts fucking up.
A better analogy would be the UNIVERSE is reformatted at the big bang, and executes it's physics code, and we are all just bits of physics hanging around, like a tornado of leaves caught in the corner of a building. We'll soon leave and leave no trace, but for that moment we spun and danced like a leaf on the wind.
The odds of life existing in this universe are so infinitesimally small, that our existence is an affront to the universe itself. I live out of spite towards the universe, that despite all the odds, humanity is here. And if one day we colonize more planets, that's an even bigger middle finger.
I was born Jewish. I am non-practising. An atheist, if you will, though I'm not militant about it. There's a sect of Judaism called Chabad that basically believes that the messiah won't come until every Jew on the planet is devout. So basically, I like to think I'm fucking it up for everyone.
There's shit about life, that has always existed that's great. That doesn't cost anything, that anyone can have.
Like holding a smiling baby you're related to. Or when you meet a girl really you like and you guys fuck for the first time.
Keep it up Herschel
>Spider
You'll have hundreds of mates. You ever take a flashlight to your backyard at night? Where I live, wolf spiders have a shiny eye that reflects green and purple, and if you go out with a light at night, you see a couple of them every square foot.
>Worms
Worms fuck themselves in groups, like a circle jerk. At least you'll get laid with your buds.
>Trees communicate with each other, birds will live in you, squirrels will run all over you, and you attack other trees, feed younger trees of your own species. Some trees spread underground and grow separate trunks, effectively becoming a forest.
Plus, your carbon was once inside a star, so there's that.
That spider shit sounds terrifying.
Pics?
Will do. Besides, Orthodox Jews are the biggest dickheads on the planet anyways. We used to go visit my grandma, and if we drove through their area on a Saturday, those niggers would throw rocks at our car.
Fuck 'em.
That's disgusting
They also all have like 15 little jewlets, and they run around everywhere and have no respect or consideration. They'd run around in the middle of the fucking street, they'd go into my grandmas backyard and fuck around with shit. The parents don't do shit because there's like 15 of them. I swear, they probably don't even know half their kid's fucking names.
I hold on to the belief that in my lifetime, I can still choose to embrace the quiet cold of senescence, gets me through the days.
It won't be, and if it is, it'll either only be available to like the richest .0001%, or the planet'll pretty much become a living hell of intertwined bodies constantly groaning in agony.
well if i have to die one day, why rush? might as well do a bunch of other stuff first.
Most of what I get out of living is learning about stuff and thinking about stuff and trying to feel about stuff.
It's pretty fun I think.
>You'll have hundreds of mates. You ever take a flashlight to your backyard at night?
I thought that read "You ever take a fleshlight to your backyard at night?" I was terrified for a moment that you were filling a fleshlight with wolf spiders and sticking your dick in it.
>Like why is there exactly one of me, controlling me
I used to have that problem. Then I really got to see inside the other people. And I mean, really. A very granular, fine look at the many minds that come to be and have gone.
Oh, no. No, I would rather be in here, all alone. It's good in here. It's not a screaming shitfest. It's nice and clean, it's organized, it's comfortable, and prepped for the act of dying without regret or worry. It's self-aware in here. It's the right kind of dumb and inefficient.
There aren't any severe misfiring up here, no voices, no hallucinations, no paranoia, no inability to recognize and process faces. No memory loss, no strange fixations, nothing. This is one of the best possible things to have, and it's all mine. People would kill for this. It's one of the most powerful tools one could ever have, one of the best shots possible, and I'm abusing it in just a kind of way. And it is exactly that I can afford to do that. I would not share this with just anyone. Truly, no one deserves to know what this feels like. This is mine, and I would, will, kill myself to die like this if need be. Alone. In this existential sanctum. An agent in a relatively closed system. Limited, but knowingly so.
Free. Sorted.
That being said, I would love to merge with certain minds. But I would also commit nth degree 11-D chess to ensure that what constitutes my agency would be prioritized over all others when it comes to executive function, or kill myself in the process if something dared to threaten the very quality of what constitutes this agent. Merging consciousnesses implies a sort of post-human existence, so I would be a fool to let anyone, even the composite of many entities, kill themselves and invalidate the very laughable yet endearing story of the countless earnest, almost spectacular gaffes of human beings who have thrown their bodies against the foundation.
Tickles.
