Do you believe that we're more than a collection of neurons firing electrical signals at each other? Is there some greater purpose or are we all just atoms that tricked ourselves into thinking we matter?
>>
We don't matter and have no purpose, but you can still think about how you could get hedonistic pleasure during your meaningless life.
>>
For some fucked up reason, I believe there's more.

None can say for sure. I don't believe in god or anything but I do think there's more to it.

Absolute nonsense.

Things matter. Suppose we are just neurons, this doesn't mean things don't matter. Stop making illogical leaps.
Chances are, we are more than just matter.

Did some peasant who died 1000 years ago matter?

I see it as each individual, animal and human alike are a consequence of former actions. It doesn't matter if it was intended, purely by coincidence or anything in between. The end result is the same, ability to function as an organism and react to its surroundings.
Each experience is exactly that, an experience. An individual judgement of an event - sort of like a tree falling in a forest with nobody around to hear it kind of thing. The event isn't recorded in some grand scheme, nor is it a higher power or more conspiring for it to occur such as it occurs. But rather, each individual is acting out of impulse - while you can argue that consideration, intention and such are higher functions then simply acting, it's still an act.

It's lots of mouthgarble, I'll leave it at that.

how is that an illogical leap if we are just atoms? and why do you think that we're more than just matter?
>>
>>39621950
Well all of our senses can be tricked (Mr Rene's famous, "i think therefore i am")
DMT druggies keep saying our world is lies and illusion collectively without prior contact to each other
I don't know what the hell we are but i do know that we do not have any divine purpose, if we would have that then it would be impossible to mess it up, and what kind of divine purpose is it to sit around shit posting online?

Doesn't mean things matter either, so stop being so sure of yourself.
>Stop making illogical leaps.
kek at the irony and hypocrisy
>Chances are, we are more than just matter.
Where did you pull that from?

>>39621950

i've always wondered what this is quoting but as far as i can tell someone made it up just to make the image which makes it even funnier in my opinion

I'm not really educated so it doesn't matter what I think. This is what it means to be a slave.

>>39622377
