The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless.
what does that even mean?, absurdism is a philosophical position, it is not a field of study within the formal or natural sciences.
>>16817976It only becomes "more comprehensible" when you gain a superficial understanding. When you go deeper, it becomes much less comprehensible.
>>16817976I disagree. I've been an atheist since I was 5, but the more you learn about fundamental physics, as well as life and consciousness, the weirder it gets. However the thing that always keeps me atheist is that you could always push the question of existence back. If we are in a simulation, then what caused the simulation, same with a god. And an uncaused cause is incomprehensible to me, although it might be true, god or no god.
> the more it also seems pointless.Correct, it always has been, but so what? I can still have fun while I'm here.

>>16817976As a depressed nihilist I’m pretty sure the cause is just simple health. I’m an unemployed goon addict and I don’t eat well so existence seems very pointless but it wasn’t always like that. If you’re healthy then life is more meaningful. Imagine having a girlfriend and having sex a lot and having a decent job that allows you to socialize with cool people every day. At the very least life is meaningful in those little moments of eating, talking, and having sex.
>>16817976Is-Ought distinction, brainlet
>>16817976Yes, it ruins the magic. But if you push through that you can come full circle. If it had a fixed obvious point to it, you'd be annoyed
god designed this universe as a sandbox game for (You), why should he force anything? He even gave you a logout button unlike in anime
>>16818022Are you having fun?I can't have fun due to circumstances.The problem is that not many people are having fun.
>>16818019You should get into philosophy
>>16818421>He even gave you a logout buttonThat's God's trap, it doesn't really log you out
>>16818019>if we are in a simulation, then what caused the simulationThat's one reason why the simulation wank is retarded.>same with a godNo, retard. The whole point is that a supernatural first cause avoids this logical problem.
>>16818514Why can't the universe simply be a brute fact, the first cause of itself. Why does there need to be a god for that. Or would you call this brute fact God by definition
There is no universe anyway, just like there's no concepts
>>16818976by this logic, you literally willed yourself into existence then. that might not actually be so absurd depending on your own metaphysics, but you should recognize the inherent absurdity of your claim.
>>16817976>The more the universe seems comprehensibleThe beautiful thing is that its not. We're literally atoms trying to analyze a giant body of an incomprehensible scale by sheer comparison.
the beauty of the universe is even it doesnt know whats coming next
