>Don't intend to have children >20 years old, but

Political conservatism has poisoned you

>>18295579
I don't understand what you mean by this.
I don't care about politics, and I don't really see the world in terms of left and right (as most people don't)

You need to get a girlfriend and try obtaining something in this world.

Coming from a 30 year old who still lives with hist parents, I'd severely disagree with the decision to stay at home.

I'd recommend moving out as soon as you can. Doesn't matter if you have to eat noodles only once a day and live in a shitty apartment, it builds your independence up a lot, and that is a lot more valuable than money (money is easier earned if you learn to discipline and look after yourself).

I don't think any belief is hard to live with, unless you keep ramming it down others throats, or are sensitive to people with different beliefs.

Can't really advise much on children, except I wouldn't really bother thinking about it - decide this when you get a girlfriend, since it's a decision made by 2 People, not 1.

Never think you are smart, always keep learning. The majority of people don't bother to learn anything once they get out of school, and this is a massive mistake.

Even Socrates said he knew nothing - if the wisest man in history said this, then what do we know?

No he doesn't.

You're being a pretentious child, grow the fuck up.

and no i dont mean you need kids i mean you need to stop posting stuff like this and making me cringe or thinking anyone could ever give a shit about this shit you've thought up in between dick strokes

>>18295698
I don't know what it means to grow up though.
Is it acceptance, or is it more than that?

>>18295698
Can you help explain what the biggest problems are with my thought process?

You have the biggest issues with it, but you aren't telling me enough.

>>18295564
Op, you really have to study more about philosophy if you think there being a god even matters or not. I was where you were 2 years ago when i got hit by a car and had to put university on hold. Now that my gf dumped me im finally moving on with my life. You see. You are building comfort because you are afraid. And we all are afraid. But the problem with comfort is that it internally kills your will to live. I am really not that far from where you are op. Move out, find work to sustain you, and build your emotional intelegence. Remember that life is inherently on the cosmic scale pointless. But it really doesent matter! Because thats not what gives life meaning!

Bit of an ADHD ramble for you here


I think atheists seem to find something in still trying to work towards spreading a value around or making things that keep going after they die, to try to influence some other people's conscious time on Earth to be good. There was a rapper named Edubble who was one that passed away at 34 recently but his music still carries on with his fans. I'm 19 and feel like it's gonna stick with me my whole life, it's already stuck with me for 6 years so far.


If nothing matters because we die, does it matter that it doesn't matter? Can we then move forward and keep working forward to something after that thought?


Lastly I recommend this I guess

This kind spoke to me pretty well here while I've been trying to figure myself out in college and what I'm going to try to get out there and do once I'm done two years from now.


It's not too long of a reading, maybe it can give you a bit of an idea or a decent motivated feeling.


Also, I'd like to reiterate what someone posted about continuing to learn after school. It's good stuff man. I finally learned to draw after 19 years reading something called Drawing With The Right Side of the brain and now I can actually doodle something without it looking atrocious and it's neat.


Hope these two cents are worth something to you, good luck. I'm going to go wrap up a paper due soon and show back up in 2 hours out of curiosity.

I'll take your advice to heart.

I believe you're correct about comfort.
It seems that it's immensely difficult for life to be anything more than ok. I believe the closest thing I can get to a purpose in this world can be found in connection with other human beings.

The primary reason I believe the existence of a god is important is because it absolves me of bringing life into a painful world. It would mean there is an afterlife, and it would ultimately all be worth it. I don't believe in a god though, and I can only see the cruelty of the world. I currently can't see a reason to bring life into a reality like this, but I hope to someday see that through what you've said to me.

There needs to be something worth something in working a terrible job.
