Who cares? The guy was an emo teenager who never grew up. Literally every single thing he ever said fits right in on some goth kids wrist.

Behold to the soulless empiricist that spends his entire life proclaiming the world has no meaning while never searching the correct area

Life is full to the brim with meanings.
Death is what is meaningless.

OP, you're more than welcome to do nothing. Obviously Cioran didn't practice what he preached

There’s no meaning in it.
Read the Epic of Gilgamesh yet?

>>14361810
Sorry I have not, but wouldn't you say that death gives more meaning to life and that's what's meaningful about it?

>> No.14361956

>>14361854
That meaning remains *in* life. The goal is not to make it to death safely, but to tread well your whole life long and learn to accept its end for a such a full life.

>> No.14361969

>>14361956
The goal is for idiots like you to shut the fuck up. Morons like you are only good for slave labor. Even a trillion years of pain from idiots like you is worth a fraction of a second of pain from someone as magnificent and wise as myself. You are subhuman trash who will no doubt go to hell.

>>14361956
A life emptied of its contents into some void is a life wasted. Death is what gives meaning to life, and that is only due to what lies after death

No need to be cruel, just more assertive, for your own sake.
