Making meaning

It's true, look at how I addressed them and how one person just insisted I never read the guy he cited and when I did and showed how he didn't answer ...
February 25, 2026 at 23:53
No, it's because I've done that advice before and it doesn't work because it's not a mental health issue. What is so hard to understand about that? Th...
February 25, 2026 at 05:03
no one's made a counterargument, they just try to insist it's a mental issue.
February 25, 2026 at 05:02
I made my counterpoints that no one has refuted.
February 23, 2026 at 21:39
That's what I'm asking.
February 23, 2026 at 03:52
It's more like I don't really have options to really change things.
February 23, 2026 at 01:06
I don't think you believe that. That doesn't really make much sense. How can I lack lucidity?
February 23, 2026 at 00:40
I did read him, you can either address what I said about how he doesn't actually answer the problems or you can handwave it away. I'm wondering if you...
February 21, 2026 at 08:30
I did read him, I summarized it for other people by linking the website. He does dodge the questions and his solutions don't actually work, I know bec...
February 21, 2026 at 06:01
Life itself has no value, that's what I learned in philosophy. Neither does death for that matter. Plenty of people who do philosophy also see no valu...
February 21, 2026 at 00:49
I've done psychiatry before but they try to insist it's chemical, they can't actually answer the questions that matter. As for Yalom, he doesn't actua...
February 21, 2026 at 00:45
I've tried that but like I mentioned above it just leads to ruining a lot of things I enjoy. Also this isn't really a choice, I cannot stop it. But ac...
February 20, 2026 at 02:39
Because it questions the things I take for granted like what is real, whether objects exist, whether I am a human being on earth. I cannot move to oth...
February 19, 2026 at 02:02
It is, I'm telling you that the things I've read have prevented me from being able to enjoy life because they have "deconstructed" the things I used t...
February 18, 2026 at 20:51
But it is the other stuff too because it interferes with me trying to do anything, because it's always wrong. Like I just recalled something someone e...
February 18, 2026 at 03:42
Like even today I wonder if anything exists because it's just a collection of parts
February 17, 2026 at 18:46
It's hard to enjoy a sunset for the listed reasons.
February 17, 2026 at 02:20
Well I don't find them very convincing since it's more trying to convince someone life is worthwhile and if they don't you cannot really say it is.
February 16, 2026 at 23:03
you're kinda not paying attention to the conversation if that is what you thought I meant. I meant there is no objectively right or wrong in the world...
February 10, 2026 at 05:13
That's on the surface for social appearances. It's sorta like people asking how you are and you're supposed to say "good". Incorrect, death is biologi...
January 26, 2026 at 02:45
Like I said, there would be no point with you as has been shown when others attempted with you, so you don't really get to demand that of others. I fi...
January 23, 2026 at 17:17
Well judging by your replies and exchanges so far there would be no point in doing so, which ironically proves my point.
January 22, 2026 at 21:10
What you're doing isn't reasoning though, it's just dogma. Again this is just you being myopic. I laid out the evidence and the proof that "choice" as...
January 20, 2026 at 17:02
You're the only one who doesn't know and you're not fooling anyone. I get that you might genuinely think otherwise but that means nothing.
January 19, 2026 at 19:54
Buddhism for one. You're creating a distinction you that seems to sit apart and is watching when that isn't the case. No one chooses how they respond ...
January 19, 2026 at 19:53
You're reading depression into it because you don't have a counterargument. The first line in the Enchiridion is technically not true, at least accord...
January 18, 2026 at 23:57
There isn't really evidence to show we have free will or make choices, also the Stoic philosophy is internally contradictory which is why I never took...
January 18, 2026 at 20:20
It's nice, but there's more to life than just that. Life is what you make of it TBH. Though I was wondering what your beef with Corvus was about. Soun...
January 18, 2026 at 03:03
No idea. Uhhh, no. There is nothing devoid of logic, the dead body is still biological because it's organic material. Death and decomposition are stil...
January 18, 2026 at 02:58
Hindsight is always 20/20, I see that now.
January 16, 2026 at 03:52
Love does not make it worth living, I speak from experience.
January 16, 2026 at 01:09
It's something I've always felt, I never actually wanted to end it, not really. I've actually lived that life for 10 years and it's the most fragile a...
January 16, 2026 at 01:06
Yeah slight typo but no I don't actually want to end it, it just seemed like the quickest way to deal with my problems at the time. But deep down I kn...
December 28, 2025 at 04:10
After thinking about it it's not that I want to die, it's that I don't another way of dealing with my present situation.
December 16, 2025 at 22:36
That's not really what I mean, more like wondering if such connections are possible. There's a difference between "everything is connected" and the em...

It's from this thread, there isn't much context it's pretty much the direct quote in all it's entirety. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/1620...
October 12, 2025 at 01:36
That's not really objective, that's just a subjective interpretation of what's going on. Also like someone else mentioned a contradiction. Sex is inte...
October 10, 2025 at 03:40
I'm mean you can take a look at what I asked but the answers are...well all over: https://www.reddit.com/r/zizek/comments/1o0v0iz/not_really_sure_what...
October 10, 2025 at 01:35
I asked the question on the sub reddit but the answers seem either vague or inconsistent.
October 10, 2025 at 01:02
I'm not sure that's what he's getting at.
October 09, 2025 at 21:42
Nope, across the board people do end up stupider for using it. Not every technology comes down to how it's used. Oh I know, it's already happening. AI...
October 09, 2025 at 05:56
Studies have found that people who use AI have lower cognitive ability than people who don't, you're making yourself worse off for using it.
October 09, 2025 at 04:04
That's pretty much what I mean, it's what you make of it. There is no overarching goal to life so you're free to do what you wish.
October 04, 2025 at 06:04
That's a description of what life is not the meaning of life.
October 01, 2025 at 19:04
The meaning of life is literally what it says, you have the definition already. What that meaning is depends on who you ask.
September 29, 2025 at 17:43
I'm saying people know what the meaning of life means.
September 28, 2025 at 03:24
It is, much of what Freud thought turned out to be wrong.
September 26, 2025 at 22:11
Quoting Freud is ironically more a disproof of your claim than anything else. He didn't recognize two different types, he guessed. Thankfully no one r...
September 26, 2025 at 19:23
I used to care about the answer too much until I realized I had no idea what I'd do when I got there. I forgot how to "live" life and was more obsesse...
September 26, 2025 at 07:24
Seem more like you're playing loose with popularity when it suites you, that's the problem. I don't think science ignores human experience per se, but...
