literally what is the point of being alive?can someone explain it to me?>it's so you can talk to strangers on /r9k/ while your body hurts! just 60 more years to go buddyUhh okay
>>83429839It's anything you want life to be
>>83429839>while your body hurtsYo uhYou could like, go to some doctors and stop that
>>83429839The point? Depends who you ask and what you believe in. If you don't give a fuck then your point of existence is just do shit to get a dopamine rush, do things to activate those feel good neurons in your brain, and do whatever gives you pleasure. If you're poor then the point is to work to pay your bills. If you're a coomer or gooner then it is to feel the inside of a woman. If you're religious then to obey god and follow all the rules and laws. If you're depressed then you're disillusioned and wondering what now? Like right now. Your parents fucked and had you because they thought it would give them meaning
>>83429839What do you want in your life? That's your point of being alive. Go after it.
>>83429839>Your parents fucked and had you because they thought it would give them meaningi guess there is no answer except drugs, which is also the conclusion of >>83429857case closed everyone!
>>83429917Hey manThere's also surgery
>>83429937>surgeryI wonder what slicing up dudes is like O_O
>>83429839i don't get it either, it's scary.what the hell is going on?what are we gonna do?
>>83429839life is mostly connecting with other people and being around your loves ones. if you don't have those, i feel bad for you.
>>83429963>if you don't have those, i feel bad for you.that's ok, i'll have drugs!
>>83429900>What do you want in your life?so if I dont want anything in particular I should just kill myself huh
>>83429963>muh peopleMost people are utterly worthless. Unless you're in the top 5% of humanity, then latching onto others as a form of purpose is retarded.
>>83429839Objectively? There is no point.Subjectively, you make your own point.
>>83429839>literally what is the point of being alive?You're expected to make your own point which is retarded to me because why.
>>83429839I want to see what happens next.
>>83430012Just get it over with.
>>83430084>I want to see what happens next.no revolution will happen in your lifetime. there will be no cataclysmic event in which you will find your calling. you will look at the news as they cycle on and on, waiting on nothing
>>83430124I think I'll just see for myself instead of listening to some spoiler spreading faggot.
>>83430133>hoping for a revolution is what gives life meaningi guess that's one way to go about it. might as well wait for the universe to solve the problem, until you're dead and there's no more waiting to do
>>83429839Imagine inventing a sentient robot that could feel pain and fears death but has an unavoidable built in expiration date.Everyone would call you a sadistic cruel retard for making the wholesome Chungustron 9000 suffer.
i want to see the saw 4 remakethen i want to see what happens with Atelier and lastly i want to read honor levy's next book
>>83429839Maybe you should ask a priest what the point of being alive is
>>83429839Access to novelty and positive pleasure.If you're dead, you will have the perfect absense of pain. No physical pain, or mental strain. If we re-created that while being alive people would consider it a state of bliss since a lot of our suffering is self inflicted. Being dead has it's own benefits, but you lose out on the potential for things that are impossible to experience while dead.That, and you only get to be alive for a tiny fraction of the universe's existence, so you might as well enjoy the scare resource while you can.
>>83429839Aight aight aight...
>>83430606>a lot of our suffering is self inflictedi would like to understand how? you're saying that i have a choice not to suffer, at least not as much
>>83430742Yes. The low hanging fruit is psychological pain.A lot of it comes from trying to meet some standard that was socialized into you or made from your own hallucinations. The common remedy for this is meditation. Conveniently, it's both trad and lindy as it has been practiced for over 1000 years. Try searching guided meditation on youtube and look for something 10 mins long. Try doing that every day if you can and you'll start to see a difference in your mind set.
>>83430785you think the pain of being alone is one such "socialized" or otherwise fake pains that can be willed away? even if that is the case, i would still be facing the void, just in a less hurried state
>>83430819Many men through out history have willed away the pain of being alone. Some of it is from social stigma, some is from a genuine longing. The Buddhists believe suffering comes from desire, so if you can remove your desire for connection you won't feel bad for being alone.The void requires a reframing. Remember, that in the void, you have no nerves, no muscles, no pain receptors, no brain to acknowledge and interpret the pain, and no brain to have self-loathing, embarrassment, anxiety, or depression. The void can be considered the well of absolute negative pleasure. It's a great place to be. The reason you shouldn't jump head first into the well is that you miss out on the opportunity for something desireable to happen to you. You only are alive for a % of the universe's lifespan approximating 0% so it's relatively going to be all over soon. During that small window of time, you might find something that is interesting or feels good. Something you can't get if you're dead.There's no harm in rolling the dice of life. If you win, it's a nice bonus and something you won't get to experience at death. If you lose, it's all going to be over soon anyway (relative to the lifespan of the universe). On the cosmic scale, it's all upside.
>>83430869even if i was able to will the aloneness away that doesn't solve physical pain. why wait for a chance for something to happen to me if it hurts the whole time?and i have little hope of being able to remove the desire of having meaningful connections with other humans. i am not a monk, away from all society. i believe it is ingrained into us to some degree. what you're telling me is that i should try to move mountains with my mind, short of being able to stop the need to eat food or drink water, all that while my body tells me it wants to stop existing, and all that just so i can have a chance of finding something meaningful to do in this senseless world?
>he's not completely pointmaxxed and overdetermined
>>83430966If it's physical pain that is bothering you, then you need to see a doctor. The pain won't go away unless there's some sort of cure, surgery, exercise routine, or medication that will make it go away.
>>83429839Point is you are a mystery meat produced by a tiny spark of life in vast universe that will go out someday. So you live a painful existence of pain caused by a decay of said spark. Everything will go out someday and point of life is to experience one of stages of fading
>>83430785>Conveniently, it's both trad and lindyactual bot post confirmed
>>83429839The point is so you can have sex and produce offspring
>>83431866No, I'm just brown. We sound like bots sometimes.
You're supposed to be a slave for the system.That's it. That's the whole point.Everything else is fanfiction bullshit for retards.
>>8342983936m here. Yah my body fucking hurts. Why? I need to get up and stretch more. Didn't have to do that before. Other than that, I get plenty of pussy, play plenty of games, eat pretty good and get stoned regularly. Have a bit of a binger planned this Sunday evening with my wife. Kids are out of school and will have meals ready.
>>83429839Don't worry, Anon, the collapse will slash twenty years off your lifespan.
>>83431954what timezone are you in?
>>83429839Well biologically your point is to stay alive eat sleep and reproduce and the cycle starts over.All the rest is just what you make of it, but there's no real free will. So you kinda just mope about and do what is intended all under the illusion of free will.
>>83430819If you suffer being alone you are weak, it's pathetic clinging to others for control for affection etc.
>>83433109post age now
>>8343313029 and the more i grow older the more I want to isolate myself
>>83433176are you not isolated? khhv status?
>>83429839sex feels goodvideo games are still funI enjoy watching the world plunge into chaosthat's about it but it's enough to keep on living
>>83433187I live by myself i had 2 gfs when I was like 12 to 14. I have no need for female or male affection. I actually know what it's like having a gf, it's overrated.
>>83433224what about friends?
>>83433344I have no irl friends only enemies
>>83433369what about online friends
>>83433456Not sure id call them friends they come and go, no real connection
hedonism unironically at very least epicureanism
