Nothing matters. You are born, you live, you eat, you sleep, and you die. Worms eat your corpse and the abyss of nothingness takes you. People say "Hell" would be a bad fate, but at least in hell you would exist, the reality is that you will cease to exist, your memory, your personality, your consciousness, gone.

Call me edgy if you like but that's how it is.

Getting a gf, a car, friends, your own house, children, none of it matters because you will cease to exist. The true meaning of life is just to do whatever keeps the misery away and use things like video games and anime to escape from reality.

>>34133835
I will never truly empathize with people who care so much about 'mattering' or leaving their mark on the world/being remembered.

Mattering is totally subjective.

What 'matters' to you is that you live a happy life while you're alive, preferably start a family and contribute to the society that you were born into so that future generations can live a happy life like you did.

What matters and doesn't is totally subjective.

Such an easy and convenient way to live, huh?

I'm sure that the thought of there being nothing after death makes you sleep better than knowing you will be judged one day. The reality is out there, and you're in for a rude awakening after death, when you will be judged appropiately. The masses of the heathens and smug unbelievers will that day regret their futile rebellion against God, but there will be no way back. The faithful will revel in the righteous Gospel and reap the rewards of a just life lived.

>People say "Hell" would be a bad fate, but at least in hell you would exist, the reality is that you will cease to exist, your memory, your personality, your consciousness, gone.

which is exactly how it was before you were born, and you didnt even notice it. it didn't inconvenience you at all. logic dictates that you'll just inhabit a new body once you lose this one, the scary part about it is that the potential for suffering is infinite, because once you die, you don't stop "existing" because you are every living being in existence, you just experience it one at a time. you will have countless lives after this one, and you've had countless lives before this one, but you're doomed to never remember any of them

This. And honestly, this sort of life is probably the best you can live. It can only go down from here. Even if we are social outcasts, most of us still live in comfy first world countries where our basic needs are met. Gonna be pissed if I respawn as some sadcunt African. Be dehydrated and starving all your life, fuck disease ridden niggers until you eventually die from the aforementioned or getting necklaced. That's not a life to live.

Don't worry. Soon immortality will be invented. Our memories and consciousness will be transfered into a supercomputer, but then everyone will realize the horror of their new existance without bodily senses.

Someone post that transhuman meme image.
>>
>>34134901
the concept does not make sense. there is no reason that you would experience the lives of different people linearly. the linear experience is a product of memory which will be gone when you are dead.

your consciousness arose out of this world, and it will fade into it again. sure there will be consciousness, but you won't be there.
>>
>>34134034
>which is exactly how it was before you were born
that argument is so fucking retarded, I don't remember what I was doing on the 13 may 2001 at 5:52pm but it doesn't mean nothing happened, how are you supposed to even remember anything before you were born, you don't even remember anything when you were 2, doesn't mean that nothing happened though.
>>
>>34134927
you still fail to grasp it. the point is that wherever consciousness can exist in the universe, you can exist because you are consciousness. "you" are not the personal collection of memories and tissues that inhabit your body
>>
>>34134947
the opposite of being alive is not being alive. before you were conceived, you were technically not alive. ergo, being dead and having not been brought to life are comparable. it's not that fucking hard dude
>>
>>34134953
>consciousness exists where consciousness exists

Wow. Really makes me think
>>
>>34134953

I would say that you are conscious.

I would say that this is infact me. Insofar as I am distinct from you.

then why are you fucking retards wasting what precious time you have left on 4chan? if there is a fucking abyss and nothingness you'd think that you fuckers would be outside or doing something other than shit posting on 4chan, why dont you go out and fuck bitches? who cares if you get rejected? you'll be dead wont you and you wont exist.
>>
>>34135050
it's all the same. anything that that is even remotely conscious is you. you can just only experience it one at a time which is where the idea of us being "distinct" from one another comes from
>>
>>34134953
i still don't believe in the "universal mind" meme
I wish i did.
>>
>>34135065
>you can just only experience it one at a time

At this time I am conscious and you are conscious. That is minimum 2 conscious people at the same time.
>>
>>34135080
but we can't both be living the same life at the same time, which is my point
>>
>>34135088
we are living 2 lives at the same time.
>>
>>34135080
Im here as well. Make it 3 senpaipham
>>
>>34135112
two separate lives, two separate motes of consciousness being experienced one at a time. consciousness comes to this world and also leaves it, but being dead isnt an "experience" in the same way that you couldnt experience not being alive before you were born
>>
>>34135112
don't you find it odd that you claim we are so different and entirely separate yet we all feel the same feels, fear the same fears, smell the same smells etc

life takes us down different avenues but everything we do is pretty comparable

Serious question here OP. Are you a 13 year old? Did you just figure this out today? You're sure as hell making it seem like that
>>
>>34133835
The only things that can be 100% proven to exist are time and space.
You are just as afraid that there is an afterlife as a creationist is afraid there isn't.
You can't figure out the rest with your tiny brain, and trying is futile so just enjoy the moment and try to earn some respect. Being an effeminate misanthrope will just dig you deeper into your pit of self pity.
>>
>>34135206
You can't blame him for not being as stupid as you, now can you?
>>
>>34135217
my personal belief is that as long as somewhere in this massive, infinite universe, there is something conscious and having experiences, you have nothing to worry about
>>
>>34135206
Personally speaking, I would LOVE if immortal souls existed, it's a really nice thought, but I just cannot believe it. The very concept of Heaven/afterlife just seems so silly to me that I cannot believe it. I mean what's it going to be, lots of bright yellow lights and clouds?
>>
>>34135227
I think you're seriously overrating today's 13 year olds man.
>>
>>34135248
It is a fear of my personality. My personality will cease to exist. I can detach from this fear only by detaching from my personality, which includes all the desires and pleasures of the personality.
>>
>>34134917
That wouldn't be horror-ble at all man. If we have the ability to upload our conscious into a supercomputer, surely we'd have the technology to digitally prod our cyberminds with various stimuli-data. It would be fucking lit as long as there was someone around to keep the lights on
>>
>>34135256
Your concept of an afterlife is influenced by and really shaped by popular views and conceptions of heaven but my ideal afterlife is not like that at all.

There are shared planes where you have experiences with and reconnect with family and friends etc, much like Earth now but less shitty, and then seperate private planes where you can do whatever like a lucid dream but better.

At least that one of my views on it.

>>
>>34135305
>You haven't accepted the inevitable end of your personality.

i don't fear it because my personality didnt exist for the entirety of the time that elapsed before my birth, and that didn't inconvenience me at all. since the beginning of time up until the day of my birth my personality didnt exist and i didnt even know it, so therefore i didnt have the capacity to care
>>
>>34133835
That is only true if you think that you are your body but nobody has proven that the consciousness is produced by the brain so it's quite paradoxical to say so since your argument is precisely that you don't believe in unproven things.
>>
>>34135332
If you walk around with that realization at all times you will also not enjoy anything.
>>
>>34135333
There can be no consciousness without something like the brain to allow it.

you don't have to constantly dwell on it, but it makes me cherish my time even more, knowing that my time will be up one day

That is an identification with the personal as opposed to the identification with the abstract / conscious which you advocated before.
>>
>>34135425
the two philosophies don't conflict with each other though
>>
>>34135409
It is irrelevant. Consciousness does not have to be caused by what is physical in order for it to necessitate what is physical.

I am not. Simply stating the consequence of the realization.

It makes perfect sense, but it is not an easy realization because it threathens the personality.

With the human personality comes your joy as well your suffering. If you want to end the suffering, by realizing the identification with the permanent, or as you would call it, the universal consciousness, you will also end your joy which is also a product of your personality.

If you want to be any different from the rest that delude themselves then you better do something about it.

You may think it's truth, but that doesn't make it so. Look at flat Earthers they think the truth is the world is flat, it is not.

It also encourages you to be a little better a person. You will be every person that has ever existed so by being pleasant to another your making you future or past life a little easier. There are limits to this because people aren't always nice to you, but by being reasonably nice you can improve the quality of all your lives. Also improvement for all can make every future life better. Maybe we can create heaven with new technology and can be reborn over and over into this new world and maybe even get the vast majority of lives, say above 99.99 percent, into heaven.

>When you cannot actually prove it as truth it is by definition not a truth. It's simply an idea in your head.
Not true, what if what you believe is truth just hasn't been proven yet? Used to happen constantly.
>>
you should look up the word "truism". you might already know it if you were as clever as you thought.

basically, a truism is something not worth mentioning because it's fundamentally accepted as a truth, like, the wind blows for example.
protip: announcing truisms just makes you look like a jackass, nothing more. like a comedian presenting a funny joke in a way so bad that no one laughs.

What isn't true?

>wow you dumb nigger stfu

>>34138406

A fact is true regardless of what proof you have for it. Besides this is a completely conceptual issue.

>>34138386
You are one of the reasons why the quality of this board is decreasing.

>>34138442

>what isn't true?
Lots of shit you dumb nigger

>A fact is true regardless of what proof you have for it

Nice job not understanding how a theory becomes fact by proof. If something is true or real it will be easy to prove because it's truth.

>Besides this is a completely conceptual issue.

That makes it a theory not a truth or fact. It's just thoughts in your tiny nigger brain.
>>
>>34138493
A theory does not become a fact. A theory is an explanation you propose, a fact is assumed as a premise for the theory.

When OP says everything is meaningless he isn't talking about facts. He is talking about the conceptual truth that there is no inherent meaning and that nothing you do can produce a lasting effect, which means that you could do nothing and produce the same result in the long run.

Which part of this do you think is untrue? I need you to specify which part if we are to have a discussion.
>>
>>34138550

All of it by nature is not truth it's just an idea or a way of thinking.

I can ask the same of someone that believes in god(s) or in no god(s) at all. Prove that what you believe is true.

If they can't it's simply a theory a belief just thoughts in your head. Nothing more nothing less. No more different then the thousands of ways of looking at the world, none of them have any real merit in reality.
>>
>>34138604
>All of it by nature is not truth it's just an idea or a way of thinking.

Wrong. All it takes is an understanding of the concepts themselves.

Which means that you simply have to think about it, and you can reason it out.

>I can ask the same of someone that believes in god(s) or in no god(s) at all. Prove that what you believe is true.

This is different because you are asking about proof for an objective fact, not a conceptual truth. You can never prove objective facts, only allude to them.
>>
>>34138662

Living a life of nihilism mixed with hedonism because you are afraid life just ceases is no different then someone that goes to church every Sunday to pray to some god so they have a place when they cease to exist.

Anything that discusses afterlife is a theory, none of them can be proven.

Life doesn't cease when you die, you do.

Good job faggola

Never once did i say when someone dies all life dies.

>>34138743
Then what are you saying? that you dismiss what OP is saying because you hope for an afterlife.

nice delusion, bro.

I am annoyed because you disrupt the conversation with backpedalling and feigned or actual stupidity.

I find it especially annoying since you came into this thread with a post consisting of nothing, but a smarmy dismissal. Then when challenged you complete refused to engage on any points and instead retreated into posts like the one you just made.

OP you wont cease to exist if you spread your genes ^^. But seriously its only you who can choose if you want to cease existing. We all have the potential to go as far as leaving our own marks for generations to come. It is only you who can limit yourself. Why not take over the world and shape it in your own reality. When my body finally fails me I know that its a fair trade for what I've achieved and accomplished.

This is some edgy teenager level bullshit. Yes, you're going to not exist someday, but I don't see why that should sap the meaning from life. If anything, it should GIVE meaning to your life. How many more times do you think you will, for instance, appreciate a sunset, or watch your favorite film? Five more times? Ten? How many times do you think you will recall an especially fond memory from your childhood. Three more times, max? Maybe if you really took your mortality to heart, you wouldn't spend so much fucking time on this image board complaining about bullshit like this.

Yeah, life is mostly unpleasant, I don't at all deny that. But god, people really know how to add to their misery through bullshit like this.

It's not like it matters if I'm a pest or not. Isn't that what you hip edgy kids believe right?

Still feed me those (You)'s they are so delicious.

What about the electricity that powers your brain? How can you be sure that isn't truly us, simply piloting a human like RC car?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed it just shifts form so maybe we can reincarnate, not like a Buddhist looks at it, but our energy does.

You have a reified understanding of energy. Think of it like this, if you have a guitar string in motion it produces sound, when the string is not in motion no sound is produced. The sound didn't go anywhere.

The goal of life is to induce a state of catatonic schizophrenia where you live in your head for a near-infinite amount of time. Dreams provide you with more subjective time alive per objective time alive than life itself, so the solution to immortality is obviously to inception yourself into layers and layers of dreams that increase in complexity as you descend.

I rather not exist than go to hell because at least my existence won't be pure pain. And if I do exist and go hell it will be pure misery wich is against what you said the meaning of life is.

So non-existence is better than hell.
