Why does virtue make to be or not to be not worth considering? Why does wonder/wisdom make to be or not to be not worth considering? Because they are ...
That just seems like a response ANY animal would make if they had the linguistic ability to do so. Don't confuse your genetic predisposition for survi...
What is the point of an adventure if it has no point? In other words, who wants to go to the north pole just to walk around aimlessly on an ice sheet?...
Nice pic, but this has nothing to do with God. Furthermore it is the person in the tree who is being irrational. It was just stated that nothing they ...
You live for self-esteem? I can't imagine a more egotistical reason for a will to live, haha. I can already imagine you on your death bed with thousan...
Thanks, I checked out all of them and found instrumentality to be the most pertinent here: Instrumentality- the absurd feeling that can be experienced...
What does making the best of it entail? I clearly outlined in my OP "Please note this is not a pessimistic viewpoint but a realistic one. I am not say...
What the hell does that even mean? How could I even guage or calculate with approximation if it would be more appealing if I have no idea what it is l...
Biological needs can force us into action but our purpose in life still be void. Just because I don't have purpose does not mean I am a motionless kni...
Strawman if ever I saw one. I argued why happiness doesn't consist as a purpose for life. It had nothing to do whether one should or shouldn't be happ...
Well as of yet you haven't shown me how that can be true. I spelled out why love,compassion, joy etc. aren't viable products of purpose. It is as irra...
But how does such a thing go? It seems that whatever the mind can formulate as a purpose is just an illogical thought-trap as per our previous discuss...
I agree, but I haven't concluded that yet. I am in despair over not being able to find any good reason at all. Only fools jump to conclusions without ...
The problem is that there is not an answer at all let alone a negative one. I wish it were the scientology was right and Xeno has created farms on pla...
Of course it won't vanish, that is why I said hypothetically. I was trying to show you that if there was no suffering then there still wouldn't be a p...
I meant not frustrated or having one's patience tested but rather a repetitive series of events that keep causing one to question what the purpose of ...
I can't even imagine what such a purpose would be? Are you thinking something along the lines of the pharaohs and the slaves? The problem is more one ...
So you're saying that the reason to live should be to alleviate suffering in the world. I agree partially but... Hypothetically, if all the suffering ...
I think it needs not imagination, intellect, ingenuity, persistence to reach being fed up with the world, it just takes uncongenial conditions and rep...
How is imagination and ingenuity going to trully relinquish existential despair? Seems like just another fancy gadget of the brain to trick itself int...
I see what your saying and have considered taking back my job as a carer but then I think "why am I helping them?" helping them for what? To achieve t...
You are speaking of self-awareness. Consciousness is the same as awareness. That is why they call it SELF-awareness otherwise they would just call it ...
That is unsubstantiated claim, you have no evidence for it. Akin to saying something like God exists without proof. All you can prove is that you perc...
How can you prove that? You are using your mind to percieve beauty, it is a construct of the mind. Even if it DID exist objectively, you could never p...
I guess that is why I thank my visual centres when I listen to music huh? :-} Assuming they can create self-awareness to perceive the beauty. That sti...
Sometimes though it makes sense when you write it but people lack the ability to write coherently in usual ways we are used to. I don't like it when i...
Why not? If consciousness stems from matter then it would be identical. If matter stems from consciousness then I could imagine you might be correct, ...
Cambridge: a person who has strong, unreasonable beliefs and who does not like other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life Merr...
Why is it inconsistent? Just because the terms use the context of an assumed reality that can be doubted? Einstein once said "If you can't explain it ...
Then perhaps you didn't ingest enough and you are right, it wouldn't prove String Theory to be anything more than a mathematical model BUT it does say...
yes it was all about "excessive" pc if you want to call it that. What I wouldn't call excessive PC, I would call implicit PC. That is, it is so fundam...
That's true I agree. I try my best to do that but it is hard sometimes to know whether it is reason I am listening to or whether it is my own ego I am...
That is not the same with a Bigot. The Bigot pretends that he is willing to discuss something because he pretends he's open to be proven wrong but rea...
Perhaps you can't see sarcasm because of the text but I was using capitalization to be ironic. Or maybe you are just so stale and serious that you nev...
Yes, because of Cognitive Disonance and The Ego. Have you noticed stuffy people always want to be right? They are usually the most egotistical kind. I...
From what we have already discussed, it seems everyone is a bigot because people don't usually enjoy having their beliefs proved wrong. So you would i...
