What is the human condition?

Is the purpose of existence to expand our capacity for our human-specific capabilities (i.e. language, usage of tools, complex social institutions), or is it to expand our connection with nature (i.e. primal instincts, blurring the distinctions among all forms of life)?

And is the only worthwhile literature the kind that pits a struggle between those two poles?

Why are human specific capabilities and connection to nature seen as binary opposites and mutually exclusive?

Why are you asking a weeb image posting site?

Why would you want to undo? We are still part of nature. Expanding our connection with nature includes expanding our capacity for our human-specific capabilities as well as being in touch with our apeness. The more unnatural thing, in the sense that it goes against most people's instinct, would be this exact blurring of the lines you are proposing, to turn chimping out into a maxim when you and I know what damage it will cause, not to an unnatural structure, but to this exact instinct inside of us (most of us). You would be undoing what our gradually civilizing ancestors have agreed to again and again and what has been ingrained into most people alive on this planet. Perhaps not to you or perhaps not to the same degree as to me or someone else, perhaps to us more than to the stirnerposters and so on. All is fair because we are still all part of evolution. Do what feels right in this regard. And if something strikes you as wrong, don't do it or try to change it. But of course you are already doing this, and so am I. No one escapes nature. You could do it more effectively however. I am appealing here, of course, to naturally given reason which I hope you possess at least to the same degree as me because reason is a great tool for avoiding chaos and pain and who would prefer those things to harmony except for crazy fuckers? Maybe you are a crazy fuck. Do what feels right. Society to you is decadent, degenerate, neurotic? Better kill it with fire. I for one will not participate, I think we are doing well but I respect your decision, pugposter senpai.

Life seems to have no purpose.
The weird thing is, I don't feel like this necessarily disproves god. God could totally exist. The universe could be affected by memes in a chaos magic sense... And still life could be finite and ultimately meaningless.
