ill start looking into his stuff now, thanks. and well, while i wouldn't call it drivel, ironically, if one is truly existentially nihilist (which to me is the most logical viewpoint), well then you could technically make any subjective goal you want in order to "find meaning". but the thing is one can't lie to oneself. what is meaning? i dont know but to me, worthy meaning is a thing worth deciding to live for confronting pain, for.

certainly i do feel where meaning lies, which is in creating certain projects that are doable over years/and maintaining good health. but it all feels like a pipe dream bullshit.

certainly, then, things should be done step by step. first take care of health > financial independance > work out > quieted mind and peace > now start creating.

yeah but not going to such extents because effort etc. i can already see im probably going to get to that point where im normie independant/workout but...i have this deep premonition that i just wont want to create the projects i have envisioned for so many years. and it all seems like fate to me. the common pattern in human history. it just seems i would become another number.

if life is just a roller coaster ride then you get off, there is no need for philosophy or what not, really, except to ease the pain of existential nihilism.

as arthur says, if "life in itself had meaning, was rapturous, there would be no need to go searching for it as men do", or something like that. life as it is has not presented an answer worth enough for us.

with rise of education people stop believing in icons, figures, governments, religions, and become japanese tacos

and in materialist society/value system, all we do is hop from one distraction to the next. being a scientist isn't good enough because life is so short and its like setting out to put together a 1 Trillion Piece puzzle that you'll never finish in your life time. you won't get the answers you're looking for, so why bother.
