>>9204010
me, and some other people too

>>9204008
Live? Have fun, create, have sex, drink, meditate, etc.

>>9204017
How do I know if these thigns are worth pursuing? Why not asceticism, literature and abstract thought?

>>9204025
cause hedonism feels good

>he's going to die
Lmfao pathetic. I am going to have my nervous system implanted into a young clone, and I may rape my older self when I resurrect on my space yacht.

>>9204050
this is the real answer folks

>>9204025
set your own goal.

If you want to release a scream that lasts for eternity, get into drawing/writing and make a few high quality books/mangas. Future historians that specialize in specific media of a century will dig your book.

One solution I've contemplated is that what should be pursued is the furtherance of the conscious capacity, thereby enabling a more perfect ability to answer the question, until such a time when the question can be adequately answered. Of course, one must assume the answer will have value to set down this path.

>>9204071
Also this is a thread for /his/, OP, not /lit/

>>9204078
no /his/ hates humanities.

You answered you own question. Death, and what happens afterwards.

>>9204078
Oh, sorry. I was thinking there would be book recommendations on this topic

>>9204071
This is not a bad idea, it just makes me wonder, if a person had ever reached the point where they could answer the question, why didn't they share it with us? Or did they? If yes, who, how do I find out?

WHAT DO

>>9204002
>>You can never establish perfect knowledge about what is worth pursuing
You can never have perfect knowledge about whether or not this is a worthwhile question
>>You inevitably age and die
You can't have perfect knowledge of the death part, assuming here that you have not died and are not dead

You can't have perfect knowledge >inb4 relativism, I'm not saying that truth doesn't exist. Different statements.

>>9204180
Pick an academic discipline to limit your line of inquiry, then study everything through the lens of your discipline (and presumably sub-discipline)

>>9204025
>How do I know if these thigns are worth pursuing?
You don't. That's what's so great about it.

>perfect knowledge about what is worth pursuing
How would this knowledge come to be? In what form? Do you believe it's possible to arrive at a pragmatic solution to your problem or is this more of a thought experiment/exercise in defeatism or whatever?

Rejoice in the fact that you will inevitably rejoin the world soul.

>>9204002
Haha! I am only mentally and physically able to be a bank teller, sucks to be you! And at least I get paid much better than my last job at Mcdonalds, do much less work now too.

>>9204102
The answer would determine the likelihood that the person would share it - although I very much doubt anyone has - plus I was thinking less along the line of personal enlightenment and reflection and more along the line of artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfacing as the methodology to approach the/a satisfactory solution
