i'm scared, why is there something instead of nothing?
and why the fuck are we conscious, it's scary.
what the hell is going on?
what are we gonna do?

I think nothing is still a option or what if you didn't remember all the fun you had like all those good dreams you probably can't remember?
The time to decide is now
Back maybe also later if you don't want to decide right away
But I hear the answer is really good taken care of already and you don't don't need to worry about it

the fact that we're conscious is scary, it's weird.

We are infinite- we are the perpetuation of a genetic screed from 100+? Million years ago, you get to be the horny continuation of a link of a chain of people from the birth inception of our race and into the future, it's awesome

Unless your going to hell in what case I'd start to panic or sit on the floor and offer yourself as a slave of redemption if your lucky and willing enough or we could wash away your sins or even crucify you if your really still a dick or you can listen to the liberal who has a fundamental flaw in there logic and plan

Yeah it's pretty tough some times what you need is a spiritual being to remind you that your not alone and that the meek inherit the earth and that your soul will be saved and that this is the beginning of lifes bountiful gift and yeah nice things are nice it's actually the lack of the good stuff that you don't like

It's awesome, magical that we get to witness and marvel at this universe at all

>nooooo topical thing isn't really you, it's topical thing, even after it gets reflected into you

You're running low of meds, schizo. Take your dose.

it's scary, it's lovecraftian how we don't know why we're conscious. it's such a creepy thing being aware. like why the fuck are we here and why are scary things happening.
what the hell is going on?
what are we gonna do?

Its ok anon, you're not really conscious. You only think you make decisions because I present the appearance of such to your waking mind. In truth you're noisy meat.

>i'm scared, why is there something instead of nothing?
I love this question and I think about it a lot. Personally, I think it's a bit loaded. Why SHOULD there be nothing rather than something? What makes nothing get this "defaultness"? Check your nothing-centric bias!
>why the fuck are we conscious
Honestly I'm not sure, but a huge issue here is that no one seems to really be able to define what consciousness actually is.

anthropic principles
the somethings (or rather the conditions for the somethings) were put there
objectively-random quantum phenomena exists, we can't wrap our heads around it, but it means we're not in a deterministic clockwork universe (hop back in time? you could get a different result.)

your best bet is to take DMT and experience a teensy-tiny glimpse of 'the beyond'. it sounds like new age bullshit (herp derp you're on drugs it's a hallucination), but i hope one day we can go back to legal psychedelic research. even just for the wonders it did in therapy.
