/lit/ - Literature

I don't think i'm depressed, that is, i've never been diagnosed with it. When I read stuff like Schopenhauer or Camus I just get this feeling of apathy, I just realize nothing matters, but i don't get the following empowerment that existentialism brings some people.

Also, I've gotten into stuff like Wittgenstein and logical positivism. To understand philosophies of science, i think you need to understand how science cannot contain meaning or value.

I'm probably one of the few atheists who'd wish they could believe in God.

I have become increasingly happier being here on /lit/ because people share more and more of my views. I do not know if this is a good thing since i just strengthen my biased opinions.

I wrote this about Sam Harris in a thread once
>He believes in utilitarianism, although he didn't quite succeed in what he wanted in the Moral Landscape.

And i got the reply

>Yes he did. He didn't set out to prove the existence of objective morality through science. He said that morality exists as a concept to benefit human flourishing, and we can determine certain methods to assist in this though the scientific method.

I agree with a lot of Sam Harris' ideas about human experiences, although he takes the puerile atheism way too far.

everything he said in the Moral Landscape and Free Will was true
