This picture never made any sense. Why don't chemicals have intrinsic value? I think they do

pass your genes on
well not you

>>12322760
Careful anon, that's how they get ya

>>12322683
>Why fight a lost battle, you'll never break your weak human mortal condition
Not with that attitude

>>12322683
Fight what? I'm fine with perishing like a dog regardless. I don't think there's an intrinsic value in struggle.

>>12322760
Yes, this picture misframes materialists' conception of value. It was the legendary materialist Marx who successfully naturalized the value into a piece of paper after all...

>>12323623
Struggle gives life meaning

>>12323636
I struggle all the time and I've been in a perpetual existential crisis for at least a decade. It doesn't give meaning to shit. The more I struggle the more miserable I am.

>>12323665
Take the materialist pill. Your problem is that your salience for life is lowered due to your interaction of dopamine and seretonin. Your acheylontine receptors are also damaged.

>>12323673
I'm already a materialist.

>>12323680
Then go fix yourself.

>>12323681
Hang on let me go hit the gym real quick. After that I think I'll walk around being myself so I get some pussy. That should fix it ;)

>>12323623
I'm happy You think like this, thrall.
My slavemaster will now bring you to the pens where you will be gelded and marked with my personal runic name, to declare my ownership of You.
Since you won't fight for the meaning of your life, I will impose mine upon you, and turns out my farms could use some extra farmhands.

>>12323687
don't forget to get that pussy pregnant so that your innate desire for the means of reproduction is fulfilled.

>>12323698
My life still would not have meaning. You can't impose a meaning someone.

>>12323709
Of course you can, that's the case with most of the world's religious people.

>>12323720
yes, some people are easier to convince than others due to their neural pathways. religions literally cucks the brain chemistry. it's impressive how religicucks are always anti-materialists, even though materialism is the only thing that actually has value in the end.

>>12322683
good point, you should kill yourself as a proof of concept

>>12322683
It’s all quite beautiful once you let go.

>>12323737
If chemicals believe themselves to have intrinsic value, surely this means chemicals do have intrinsic value. What other criteria could there be?

>>12323761
>If, then......
>!=
>Criteria not met!
>Input further criterion to make sense

>>12323773
you = small brain

Not the same guy but thats an assigning operator, equal is "=="

>but just fight suffer and die bro lmao
Life is more entertaining if lived with aesthetic passion. Insisting on emotional sterility as a response to death and impermanence and uncertainty is stupid.

>>12323815
Based. What philosophy/writers/books encapsulates this?

>>12323848
the woorld as wiill and representaation

Misery does have its company, but it's still there and it will eventually consume you again. This is why Schopenhauer failed. Keep up zoomer.

>sterility as a response to death and impermanence and uncertainty is stupid.
Is the only not cuck answer to the self realization of our absolute and frustrating limits as mortal beings

There's no such thing as a losing/lost battle

If you’re here why be a pussy about it? I can understand depression and anxiety and I actually had full blown panic disorder for 2 years, but life’s really not thaaaaat serious. You might be a failure, people might hate you, you might not be good at anything... but still... so what? There’s nothing worth killing yourself over

You are very naive.

>>12323709
Is that a challenge?
I think that was a challenge.
You must really like my whipmaster's ministrations.

>>12323724
>>religion literaly cucks brain chemistry
The opposite is true. When You cuck one's brain chemistry with electrical and chemical agents they become atheists and show more signs of belonging in the spectrum.
tldr: atheists are just autists.

>>12323848
I'm fond of shilling William James' Varieties of Religious Experience

Imagine actually believing this to be the first time alive, or the last time you will live. Just imagine, having seen as much as you have and thinking this all to be some kind of cosmic accident never to be seen again. Imagining, in 2-0-1-9, still listening to a cabal of materialist-fools who need the public to believe their nonsensical positions in order to remain in power, rather than exercising independent thought and questioning reality's nature for yourself, not being a slave to a modern materialist church. Oh Kali Yuga, you truly are here, but when will you end?
