Everything you think matters, your feelings, your relationships, your grand narratives about human dignity is just wet meat pretending it's not wet meat. Civilization is literally just monkey neurons firing in patterns complex enough to convince themselves there's something more going on. Your consciousness is a LARP. Your "meaning" is just coping mechanisms stacked on coping mechanisms until you've built this elaborate theater where the biological imperative to not rope gets dressed up as "love" and "purpose". The universe spent 13 billion years not giving a shit about you, you'll exist for maybe 80 years tops thinking you're special then it'll spend eternity continuing to not give a shit. Every cathedral, every symphony, every philosophical treatise is all just the inorganic death-drive wearing an increasingly elaborate skin suit pantomiming rationality while shuffling back toward the void it came from. We're already dead, we just haven't stopped moving yet. The sun will eventually vaporize every trace that humans ever existed and literally nothing will have mattered.
>>24882062This is a boring way to see the world and just shows extreme lack of imagination. One should cast it away in their teens but somehow there are adults who continue believing this stuff. Even the tone is off and sounds juvenile in how it drops very basic and very simple information every adult know as if it was the conclusion of some grand reasoning.If you want to be a nihilist at least be a trendy one like Nietzsche or a funny one like Cioran. There are so many creative, interesting and entertaining ways to say what you just said that aren't "BRO WE'RE MEAT BRO". This is just a shallow and uninteresting way to put it.
>>24882062>Bro, bro science answered all the questions. Ahhh fuck! Last man era it is. Its so over; only nihilism now. Ahhhh im so educated and well rounded! Who reads such gay shit in 2025?
>>24882062>I am very smart you know.
this book is a mind virus, man. don't post it. you're going to infect a lot of people, and honestly it's better if most people just blue pill. delete the thread if you still can.
>>24882062Yeah, I was seventeen once too.
Life-fags absolutely SEETHING ITT. >you can't just trivialise life! that's mean!>life is diverse bro stop simplifying it look at all the colours and pussy and shit woah man>why is there something rather than nothing huh???>i got a job and it is THE most life-affirming event of my life!>i'm not fascinated enough GIVE ME MORE FASCINATION GET ME GIDDY>life has meaning because.. IT JUST DOES OK LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT!!
i preferred the Becker spam desu, this is embarrassing
I'm fine one way or another. That being said, if you were perfectly content with that concept, you would have no need of posting about it in public. You sound like you're trying to convince yourself as much as everyone else, which I can relate to.
>>24882389You sound malnourished. Eat better.
Sheltered mindset. I'd be impressed if he still sang the same tune after being ravished by a cackle of feral negroes. Until then it's just posturing.
our lives have meaning precisely because they are finite
humans have a destiny to destroy all life in the universe. we are apex parasites that will eventually suck every resource dry and then self destruct. god help every other species in the universe if light-speed space-ships are invented before we go extinct
>>24882062And?
>>24882389Okay. Why haven't you killed yourself yet?
>>24882160That's precisely the point of the book. The interests of thought (truth) are in conflict with the interests of living (psychological well-being).
>>24882062This book is schizophrenic critical theory rambling disguised as philosophy. It presents no rationally compelling arguments for its thesis. If you are persuaded by it, you are falling instead for its aesthetic and its posturing. Therefore you are buying into something that you want to be true because it makes you feel good, not because it is true. The book is thus a complete contradiction.
>>24882389>life has meaning because.. IT JUST DOESYes
>>24882437kek
>>24882068Who cares how you put it, the truth remains the same.
If I don't observe it, its not real.
That's not even what the book says or is about lol.
>>24882389you should probably commit suicide.
"Like Nietzsche, I think nihilism is a consequence of the ‘will to truth’. But unlike Nietzsche, I do not think nihilism culminates in the claim that there is no truth. Nietzsche conflated truth with meaning, and concluded that since the latter is always a result of human artifice, the former is nothing but a matter of convention. However, once truth is dismissed, all that remains is the difference between empowering and disempowering fictions, where ‘life’ is the fundamental source of empowerment and the ultimate arbiter of the difference between life-enhancing and life-depreciating fictions. Since the abandonment of truth undermines the reason for relinquishing illusion, it ends up licensing the concoction of further fictional narratives, the only requirement for which is that they prove to be ‘life-enhancing’. I consider myself a nihilist precisely to the extent that I refuse this Nietzschean solution and continue to believe in the difference between truth and falsity, reality and appearance. In other words, I am a nihilist precisely because I still believe in truth, unlike those whose triumph over nihilism is won at the cost of sacrificing truth. I think that it is possible to understand the meaninglessness of existence, and that this capacity to understand meaning as a regional or bounded phenomenon marks a fundamental progress in cognition."
>>24882062>>24883566I don't disagree with some form of nihilism or scepticism but everything in the OP post is unexamined juvenile memes that are intellectually very weak and do not hold up to philosophical or empirical scrutiny. Never mind being incongruent with nihilism.What I mean is you're too stupid to get it and rely solely on verbatim regurgitated sentimentality which is not only not convincing but reads like a series of slogans.Please kill yourself and leave the thinking to real people.

>>24884008I was being silly, but regardless, wanting to continue living doesn't mean I have to enjoy it or affirm every shitty aspect of it. Infinite affirmation leads to incoherent decadent noise. Life-fags are generally death-denialists. They're a pitiful sort when they're faced with it. They make their lives into a décour, a shallow mask that hides their fear.
>>24884731Right but the universe transcends your personal gripes
>>24884772The universe is an empty parking lot
What does Brassier say about nihilism that's unique to his thought? I'm vaguely familiar with him as being one of the so-called "speculative realists" but I haven't gotten to him yet, only read Harman and Meillassoux so far. Surely he has more interesting things to say than rickandmorty-tier nihilism right?
