When you think about it, there really is no point in doing anything. Probably you will die at 70 or 80 or even before. If you die before your spouse, you die knowing you are leaving them in grief and sadness with no way to console them. Even if you're lucky enough to live to 100, it's still such a brief period, and it goes faster the older you get.
After you die, a few people will remember you. But they will die themselves too, and the memory of your existence will be gone forever. It's not as if future people will ever be interested in your life. You and all record of you will just fade away. Even if you were famous somehow that only means your name might live on a decade or two. If you try very very hard, you just might be able to make an impact on your time or even the near future. But what's the point? That, too, will pass. It's not as if your body will lie peacefully in a green field next to your spouse eternally. Even if you made a giant impact, soon enough the world will be hit by an asteroid, or a plague, massive climate change, or some other great disaster.
Even if we manage to avoid that, in a cosmic eyeblink, the Sun will die. Maybe we will have escaped the solar system by then, maybe not. It seems highly unlikely given the laws of this universe. But even if we escape to another solar system, eventually the universe itself will simply end. There will be nothing left, not even the information that we ever existed. Our whole spacetime will end, or at best, loop. And even if, by some amazing cross-dimensional magic, the "human race" (whatever it looks like by then) has survived and figures out how to teleport to another dimension, no one will have thought of you personally for a trillion years and never will again.
It seems that trying to do anything really meaningful is just a waste of time. Nothing you can do will ever change the final result. Not only will we be annihilated, but the information that our entire universe ever existed at all will be gone.
life is a gift its a blink in the entirety of existence. you are the needle in the haystack

a shitty gift

it doesnt matter anyway because they will die too

Either you tell yourself that you are gonna live for your family/country/religion or whatevs or you will end up with that conclusion 2bh. Maybe read up "Never to have been born" by David Benatar.
Landon Sanders
>family/country/religion things that die
Jace Long
no
Sebastian Smith
yes
Juan Fisher
Yeah, so have to persuade yourself or find something that you want to preserve for "as long as possible". In the end not much matters.
Angel Davis
but it doesnt matter

Cooper Nelson

Isaiah Garcia
not something, but my existence
Brandon Lee
Depends tho. I mean you can follow that and say that since nothing matters there is no meaning, but you can still enjoy the time you have left in this life and make something out of it. Negative things outweigh the positive things, but throwing your personal time left in this universe won't gonna change anything.
Christopher Jackson
how can you enjoy it if you are going to die?
Robert Sanders
Shitty for you. I'm the universe experiencing itself and it's fun. It's your fault if you aren't happy
Camden Howard
Dunno. You can party around or spend some time for your hobbies, but I personally would rather read books and stuff. In the end my own knowledge and experiences won't change much in this life, but I will at least enjoy my time left.
William Adams
no you are a weak unattractive mongrel that will die and lives in a dangerous shitskin shithole
you are to the whole universe what the cockroach is the the guy who squashes it with his boots

everything ends in the future its all meaningless
Evan Sanders
Yes but if one achieves immortality (in as much as living as long as is physically possible in this universe/dimension) one can witness the FINAL end of the universe not just his own. And if possibly other states of existence exist transfer into those and continue existence there. So it's not all meaningless.
Hudson Ward
Do you even know what "meaning" is? Maybe you should look it up and realize that finality doesn't preclude something from having meaning. Take your bargain bin nihilism back to middle school please.
Wyatt Miller
Was kinda interested when the V3-Party and some small parties wanted to introduce euthanasia-laws here, but it will still take some time desu. Like I said, either search for a meaning or enjoy your current time. Buddhism and Stoicism are actually quite well made way of thoughts. This.
Luis Davis
What do you mean by this? I am a weak mongrel as a human or as an american? I assume you're talking about my nationality, because I live in a 'shitskin shithole'. I'll have you know that I live in a low crime, majority white, beautiful place. You need to go outside more often if you aren't happy. Go find a hobby or go outside the city and experience nature. Life is not meaningless because it has value to me. You're just a piece of shit that is taking out your depression on us. You're not happy, therefore i shouldn't be happy. Grow up
Blake Peterson
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

>possibly other states of existence exist transfer into those that's death anyway, even if you're not religious.
Cameron James
Death is not a state of existence but of non-existence.
Sebastian Davis
IF its possible now its still science fiction
all we do know now is that billions of people had hopes and dreams which died with them same will happen with every single human you have seen in your life
yes and you are meaningless
there is no meaning and it doesnt matter how much i "enjoy" life everything dies
it doesnt matter you will die anyway

Yes I will die. But why does that matter?
Oliver Wright

It's not that you are wrong as such, but you must understand that you are making a choice. At the bottom of the darkest ocean, if you keep going even further, there is a bright city. A few can make it in.
Brandon Stewart
it doesnt matter if someone loves you they will die
you will not exist
Juan King
Do you enjoy music?
Nathaniel Kelly
no there isnt a bright city even if there is one, you will die just like the city
Jonathan Reyes
>there is no meaning Everyone defines meaning on his own way, if you believe (not necessarily religion) in something there will be meaning.
Lucas Green
Non-existence of what? All the electrical energy in the brain remains, as does every atom. Matter and energy merely change unless you're claiming a soul exists, in which case you can't say anything for sure because it's impossible to measure.

Lincoln Ortiz
Isn't it great. All beginning points have end-points. People act by either short memory or ignorance, that things will be as they are 'infinitely'. But time is no stranger to crushing that conception. The end is as important as the beginning and the middle is the most interesting and important part. The part of time that you were born in and lived in, is in the history of the universe. It's a mark, though it will be erased physically. Will still have happened. Your post however was a bit too nihilistic. I thought i'd known what you meant up until you got to the universe and beyond. That's really not that important right now.
Jason Miller
yes but music will die
and now he is dead and doesnt exist
nothing
i dont know why me (brain) likes it but it will die
because you will not exist
that fedora webm will not exist one day
Asher Brown
>mfw that laz poster is not only a greek spammer but also a nihilistic sad depressive cunt
feelsverygood. Also OP, you claim that your life has no purpose but also that you want to tell everyone else that they should see the world like you too, but with that you actually gave yourself a purpose. congrats you played yourself.

Do you do stand up user? I'm loving this bit you're doing.

Yet we're condemned to life whether we like it or not, so why not find a way to make that life meaningful and joyful?

no its not great
Zachary Thompson
>because you will not exist That is not bad. If you can continue your life with holding on to a meaning it might seem meaningless to others, but on a personal level that person thinks that it had a meaning, thats it all about.
Evan Brooks
There is. You might just be an "edgy kid" exaggerating on purpose here, but I encourage you to dig down further, make yourself really depressed, you have to feel what you are saying here, because I don't think you do yet, you have that feigned apathetic distanced attitude.
Easton Sullivan

Josiah Hall
If nothing matters, then it doesn't matter that nothing matters.
Christopher Edwards
How does that invalidate anything I said ? Your thoughts revolve around a feeling ( fear of death ), so using reason to argue against it would be pointless, you just have to grow up and accept you'll die one day.
Jack Reyes
i got that feeling some days ago if you read my text over and over again you will understand that life is meaningless
and this picture should show you that we should strive for a painless death as soon as possible
who knows what will happen tomorrow? a man could break in your house and torture you for years
Adrian Ortiz
>make a theory about universe >depressive cunts use it as an excuse to be depressive end yourself please
Colton Myers
Will shit then what do you want then? What is your conclusion? Everything is meaningless therefore, "meh"? That's it? I look at it as a positive or at least more optimistic. You can also view it negatively. However, that's pointless because it will bring you emotions that described by you would inevitably be "pointless."
Christopher Sullivan
>ikibey has an existential crisis wew lad
Jacob Wood
Sometimes I really pity those who want to have euthanasia-laws to end their lifes, but the state for which these people had to work their asses off or had to suffer in other ways won't allow that. It really confuses me that some people in their 20s want to life till they are 90 or even later desu.
Christian Nguyen
yes but i wish i would die in sleep so i wouldnt notice
but it doesnt matter its better to kill yourself painlessly as soon as possible
its just that i dont know any method that is 100% safe
Robert Flores
Well you do enjoy music. How can you enjoy something if you know it will just die? How can life be enjoyable like music if it all ends? You just proved to me that there is value in life. If life can experience and affect itself, how can it be nothing? If today is a point in time that never be overwritten, then it exists no matter what happens
Carson Perez
you missed the point. You claim your life has no purpose but by trying to get us on your side you ultimately gave yourself a purpose. You can't even get your own ideology right lmao
Elijah Brooks

Jose Rogers
You exist to feel sad welcome to the club
Jonathan Miller
>Yourself. Your awareness and/or consciousness. Yeah it might, particularly if it's defined by the specific electrical structure of the brain. But nobody knows if that's the case, because measuring brain activity is no different from measuring the electrical signals in a CPU. If it is the case then it's also quite interesting because it means that consciousness simply arises from patterns, which in an infinite universe will inevitably recur.
On the other hand if it's supernatural then you can't claim anything like I said.
Eli Evans
Based Zhang. BRICS understands this stuff because we're not all pampered little shits.
Blake Scott
Why is eternal oblivion immediately preferable to oblivion after a well-lived life? And that's assuming that oblivion is what awaits after death, which is just one theory amongst many others.
Bentley Carter
Think about how your thoughts before you were born. Remember how it was before you were born? Exactly.
Anthony Flores
I could explain it to you, but first you'd have to tell me exactly what you mean by "preferable"
Kayden Johnson
>But nobody knows if that's the case For now it's the best assumption because the existence of consciousness capable of communicating its existence one or another way from a different "configuration" (read machine) or of a supernatural variety has not reached us.
Matthew Ramirez
>baby's first existential crisis Just try to be happy. Life is meaningless, yes, but there's no reason not to enjoy while you live it.
Matthew Campbell
Hans are you feeling sad? does it feel pointless. Time is the only currency that actually matters. Make use of it before you run out of it.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here
Why would it seem like a better option to commit suicide instead of finding a way of living that will bring you joy, even if it only lasts for the time that you are alive?
Kevin Richardson
Because OP, wants oblivion because, one would assume it would be how life was before you were born. That is to answer your question. "Why would one choose oblivion over a well-lived life."
Jacob Hernandez
Well yeah we agree on that. What do you think about the recurrence part?
Justin Cooper
His point is that you get that anyway, you just get a life as well.
David Hernandez
>If it is the case then it's also quite interesting because it means that consciousness simply arises from patterns, which in an infinite universe will inevitably recur.
Well let's say that we isolate the mind solely as a pattern of electrical signals. For now we have to assume they are tied down to a certain material structure in which they occur and arise from. Even if we succeed in the near future to transfer this into a machine it still nonetheless needs a very specific materialistic "configuration" to hold it. Not to mention the very specific and incredibly complex arrangement/structure of electrical signals corresponding to one awareness from another will be quite different as it is today with it only arising from a biological existence. The probability of a specific or in general combination of such a material structure occuring somewhere else in the universe is there. But close to zero I would assume.
