worth a thousand words
Reminder that having children and passing on your genes is objectively the only purpose to any and all life that has or will ever exist
>>24684570
yeah, i deserve this
4:38 am and I'm thinking how at any moment our planet could be fried by green space waves and instead of leaving this rock we're bickering over gender identity.
>>24684597
>tfw superficial and care too much about how i look but ugly at the same time and dont get the benefit of caring for good looks
>>24684604
i'm not saying that you're worng but passing on our genes has no purpose.
i feel it.
typically there's a numb disinterest with everything around me but occasionally i am smacked with reality and how seemingly hopeless it is and what's the point of even giving any shits at all. such is life

>>24684612
It's 4:51 am here, been up all night. Daytime makes me more prone to anxiety and existential thoughts. I look outside from my apartment and see the morning shuffle. I can't help but think what the point in all of this is.
It scares me to realize that there's so much suffering in this world. More so than love, and if this is IT and the only concious experince I (or anyone\0 will have is their own, then think about how many creatures have had nothing but suffering and pain from birth until death. It's rightly fucked and I often find myself wondering if I'm indeed in hell or not.
Shit is fucking weird. I think back to how I viewed the world as a kid and it all just made sense or had a wonderful mystery to it. Now it's absurd, tedious, and lonely. I'm starting to read the western philosphical canon. I feel like everything leads to absurdist though. All I want are a few satisfying answers, yet it's arguable whether or not we will ever get them.
Also I know pic related isn't full quote
>>24684570
How old are you? How did your friends die?
I wish I didn't worry about every single little inconsequential thing and have these thoughts family
>>24684604
Not anymore friend, now all you have to do to have fulfilled your purpose in life is pass on some dank memes :^) Just look at what kinds of things this image spawned. It'll have ripples long after we've all died.
>you will die and cease to exist and never exist again ever ever and this is it and everything
fuck
FUUUUUUUCK
FUCK FUCK FUCK

>>24684861
Stop now while you still have some sanity left. I'm >>24684801 and I went down that same road. Read everything I could, listened to lectures, meditated. After a while you start to realise something. We're just animals trying to make sense of all of this (obvious). No one has a fucking clue why/what we are doing here, not buddah, nor jesus, alan watts, even einstein said the universe freaked him out at times. We're all just trying to make sense of it. Some people willfully remain ignorant and just carry on with their lives. Others are simply to stupid. Some (like myself) can't handle the truth no matter what it may be because the whole thing is fucking strange. The fact that anything should exist at all implies something crazy. It's sometimes best to just not know certain things. We are only human, what ever the fuck that is
>>24684960

>>24684942
Hey were in it together. Just live on your terms why'll you can. You most likely won't die for many years.

Fuck I had one of these a few days ago.
>5am in bed, can't sleep feeling low
Start thinking about passage of time and technological advances in last century.
We've gone from horses and sending messages over boats that take weeks to flying machines, automation breaking through our atmosphere and landing on several planets with various unmanned self reliant robots and instant communication throughout the globe. We've gone from being on separate Islands with little communication to being able to post frog memes and feels to entirely different cultures in seconds and being able to relate to each other... If I kill myself now I'll never experience the next 50 years of tech and global evolution. I suddenly felt terrified I'd never experience where the human race would go, but believe I would not have any effect on history and the future whatsoever.
I didn't know how to feel, both absolutely useless and excited to see what's going to happen.
If I continue to exist I would be happy to just exist if only as a voyeur, it was such a peaceful feeling. But it was fleeting as a few hours later I went back on the Internet to experience humanity and within the hour I was back to my depressed jaded self.
Such is life.

You didn't exist before you were born and it wasn't that bad right? Life should be about enjoying yourself while you can. Just imagine being immortal. You literally exist forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever. Same with an afterlife. Being stuck in existance for eternity is far worse than being on the ride long enough to have fun. Death is just like sleep at the end of a long day. You'll be too tired to think about and once your gone you've reached eternal peace.
>>24684964
So should I just go the Epicurean route?
Had a pretty good "fuck it" philosophy image somewhere gonna look for it
>>24685041
Do you exist now? Are you the same person you were 10 years ago if the atoms are different? Ship of Theseus can be scary. What if it is the pattern of brain activity? Either way consciousness seems weird af

Try real fuckin hard to become immortal. Cure aging or find a way to upload your conciousness. Which one do you think would be most practical in 50 years?
>>24684964
I found the thing
>>24685193
Everything anywhere is in a state of existing and not existing. Everything at one point didn't exist and everything at a certain point won't exist. There is no reason to be worked up over something you have no real control over.
Hos did your friends die, OP?
>>24685041
>>24685193
Do you believe the existence after life is the same as the existence before life? If the answer is yes, then if that state of non-existence is indeed exactly the same then it must be concluded that, given the exact same conditions, you will spawn into existence again.
>>24685259
NEITHER YOU FUCKING KUK THE BEST ANTI-AGING TREATMENT IS CALORIE RESTRICTION WHICH HAS BEEN KNOW FOR 100YEARS, WE DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO ASK MEANINGFUL QUESTIONS ABOUT AGING LET ALONG STOP IT LET ALONG REVERSE IT

Come to terms with death anon, it isn't all bad. Life doesn't seem so enjoyable and whatitwassupposedtobe does it? It'll be the end of your suffering. No more pain, loneliness, or dread.
>>24685340
You're not alone in the struggle though, we are all in it whether we want to or not.
>>24685512
YES
IT

I'D RATHER BE TORTURED FOR A BILLION YEARS THAN CEASE TO BE.

I feel like this at least every other day, even though I still try to push it away, sometimes I just let it wash over me and I'm unable to do anything for the rest of the day.
I'm trying to be an actor, but between me sucking at it and general social ineptness I don't know if I'm gonna make it, but in the grand scale of things it doesn't matter, I'm gonna die in some time and it's very likely that there's nothing on the other side.
>>24685616
Well we're all racing to the same place.
Read any existential philosophy? I create my own meaning to life and I'm like halfway satisfied with The Myth of Sisyphus
I am not programmed to fear death.
I will greet it's embrace like the anticipation of a saturday morning cartoon.Pre-2007 kids WB era.
If I put down 5 coins on a table, you would say "there are 5 coins there". Think about that statement. There were two parts describing the scene in front of you. "5" and "coins". Now, if I were to take these coins and destroy them, then yes, the coin element has been destroyed. But what about "5"? What happens to the idea of 5?
You don't really think about numbers a lot, but they are truly a bizarre idea. They don't get destroyed, they don't decay. They seem to be unnaffected by time and entropy. They are completely seperate from the universe and yet they can be studied scientifically. They operate by rules and those rules are the same no matter where you are in the universe or who is observing them, whether its a human or an exotic alien species.
The traditional religious view of the soul seems to be similar to numbers. Consciousness arises due to an arrangement within the physical universe, like "5", and similarily, it's feels like a very real, measurable thing that exists apart from the universe. Religious teachers believe that our consiousness or part of it lives on after death.
In the above analogy, when the coins were destroyed, the number 5 wasn't, because "5" seemed to be just a reflection of something incorporeal or foreign to this universe. It was there before the coins came about and it will exist after, because, as mentioned, time is meaningless to numbers. From a religious perspective, even when the brain dies, could it be that our experiences, our soul, like numbers, continue to be?
The existence of numbers seems to indicate another plane that we can't comprehend. The idea of a soul may seem implausible to some people because of their universe-centric way of looking at the world. Are our souls similar to numbers? Are ou4 souls actually numbers? Food for thought.
>>24686704
>Religious teachers believe that our consiousness or part of it lives on after death.
lol, we better not. I've had a hard enough time here as is. You'll regret that if it's true. For serious. Not cool.
I'll fucking come back and practice for girls on you while you sleep.
you do not experience the past (beyond the lag between your senses and your brain compiling them), only memories of it, which are not complete experiences but rather corpses of previous events. likewise the future cannot be experienced, only inferred. you only exist in the present moment which is ever-changing. stop trying to divorce your mind from this moment and you will find peace
>>24685270
This guy knows what's up. Good read
>>24685113
>Being stuck in existance for eternity is far worse than being on the ride long enough to have fun.
what you say is bullshit imo. but I know some people have different feelings about it.
I just can't stand anybody telling others how they should be fine with dying. it's fucking stupid and reeks of emotionally dead neckbeard faggot fedora.
I do not like this one bit and I will never have any of that shit anti-philosophy in my life. I'd rather take solace in believing there is an afterlife, whatever it may be.
>>24688696
The only problem I'd have with ceasing to exist is that I wouldn't exist to feel the relief at attaining ultimate peace
>>24688696
I'd rather not afterlife. I'd rather here. I have a general sense of what shit is here and what can happen.
A potential afterlife is a giant fucking mystery and a lot of people aren't entirely sure if fucking nothing happens.
I do have a romantic idea though. If time travel ever comes to be and humanity gets its shit together; we could all come back again in the end. We could create our own "after life". For every single last person. It would be the biggest undertaking by our entire species; maybe by any species ever in the universe. As someone is dying, someone steps in and takes their consciousness with them into the far future and puts them into a new, immortal body.
Humanity's final goal could be to find every person who ever lived and died and bring them back to live forever in a time and state of mind that's free of all of our pain and suffering.
That's some heavy scifi shit though.

I still won't find a special someone
