Everything you call "living" is just a massive cope to disguise the fact that your biology is desperately trying to return to the inorganic state it crawled out of. You think you have a will to power or life goals but that's just a mask for the will to nothingness. You are essentially a complicated rock that unfortunately gained consciousness and is now taking a circuitous path back to being a rock. The science is clear that the inanimate existed before us and the only real drive is to restore that silence, meaning your entire existence is just a temporary glitchy detour toward the grave. The universe is indifferent, cosmic extinction is guaranteed, and when the heat death of the universe hits it will be like none of this ever happened, so stop deluding yourself that this life is anything other than a long pointless walk back to zero.

You are talking about one of the two major drives according to Freud: Thanatos. Todestrieb. The death drive. But there's also Eros, lebenstriebe or the life drive. Maybe life isn't that perfectly dialectical, but why would it so unidimensional?

I like how you're too mentally crippled to understand what corresponds to what in a basic analogy.

But my poop isn't a part of me, and I do smell. This is not an accurate comparison.

In that case, you aren't part of "the universe", unless you can explain objectively why the relationship in one container/excretion pair is different from the other in this context.

Your analogy is more basic than i thought! You wrote like it was a self/excretion pair (me/my shit). Self is also very special word, would you consider your fecal matter to be part of your being?

The universe is everything that is. For every x that is, x belongs in the universe. In particular, x=humanity, otherwise we aren't.
But i don't know if the self is everything (what?) one being is or just a part (what people call the soul or the mind or c., etc.) and it doesnt matter, because there's at least a body and one could argue that fecal matter never was part of the being because originally it was food than was subsequently transformed, it just passed through the body

You can keep chanting it (at least until the day you learn the hard way that the universe, whose processes excreted you as a byproduct, can do without you just fine) but one thing you can't do is elaborate on this objectively. Too bad.

I don't get why do you use "you" instead of "us", are you not part of the same byproducts? Why do you think we can talk objectively about metaphysical subjects? Life is a property of matter and matter is a property of the universe, how is humanity more of a (pejorative) byproduct than any star or comet?
>>
>>16867081
What is there to explain? Your "argument" was literally:
>X is part of Y
>X has some property
>therefore Y has that property
What's "part of" supposed to suggest here? If it's in the normal sense of composition, it isn't even worth discussing: in 5 seconds you can come up with a myriad examples where a whole displays one set of characteristics, but when you zoom in enough, you find parts with different characteristics that you never would have guessed. The plain interpretation of that argument is a really basic fallacy. But even with maximum charity, if I take it to mean something like the Buddhist idea that humans only conceptualize things as distinct and independent, whereas in reality the boundaries between them are blurry at best and in any case, everything is intrinsically related through dependent origination, the same very naturally applies to you and your literal shit. So why don't you embrace the properties of your shit the way you project your own properties onto the universe?

The fallacy is "X has property, therefore Y the superset has property", like you said. But that Y has property, therefore its parts have the property is the most basic silogism of all, Modus Barbara.

>>16867107

I admit Modus Barbara is less relevant that the more explicit Modus Darii.
The root of this discussion is the post:

You are honesty saying that the following scheme is irrelevant in light of anon's argument?

In your next post, re-state this in its general form, then show how it applies to our situation using the relevant substitutions. By failing to do this correctly (which will happen, 100%) , you concede the animal you call your mother should have been sterilized before she spawned you.

>show how it applies to our situation using the relevant substitutions
The Socrates argument is Modus Darii so it doesn't apply, but the scheme i wrote twice is Barbara. The quote rebuttal should have been
>"hypothetical syllogism example" is trivially false
like
>"All rationals are real, all integers are rational, therefore all integers are real" is trivially false
The substitutions will be self evident, although you wont find it cogent anyway because from the beginning you didn't agree with 16867044's and my claim that
>All H are U (first major premise)
there' also
>Some H aren't I (minor premise)
OP's claim is
>All U are I (second major premise)
Apply Modus Barbara aka hypothetical syllogism to the first and second major premises
>All U are I. All H are U. Therefore, all H are I.
But some H are not-I. After modus tolendo tollens, some U are not-I, which contradicts OP's premise.

I agree, but this isn't going to turn into a "logical discussion" no matter how many times you namedrop logic. Mentally ill retards seem to be obsessed with "logical discussion" the way incels are obsessed with women. Logic is completely unattainable for you. Let it go.

This is meaningless. The universe is an indifferent thing? I know thanks to context that you mean that we are not important in the greater scheme of things, but saying "the universe is [adjective of psychological origin]" is essentially metaphorical, there is no clear primary meaning to this arrange of subject and predicate

>>16867324
Indifference is a psychological quality. If there are humans in a set i makes sense to predicate its elements with this quality. Using a moral instead of psychological example, Is Saturn inherently evil? You could say Saturn is indifferent as in outside of moral considerations, but can Saturn or the universe be psychologically indifferent? What do you mean by that?

"The universe" suggests everything that exists in its totality. If a portion of that totality isn't accurately described by the descriptor you've given it, then it's an inaccurate descriptor. You can argue that "most" of it fits all you want, but that would still be an inaccurate description of the whole.
Wouldn't we, as the only beings in the universe capable of feeling indifference, having a capacity for empathy disprove the universe's lack of empathy?
