There is nothing to this life except pain, dissatisfaction, disappointment, sickness and death. Yet we still leave the bed every morning. This big shitshow and its wretched glow, good goddamn I am nostalgic for the time before time.

You faggots subhumans are the only people always ready to have a sincere talk anytime which is a temporary redemption. Still temporary, nothing is concrete not even nothing. Fuck man vulgarities of change and Being makes a nauseous.

No you are not. Your desperate lie and insolence is just another ploy for you to leave your bed. Not that it matters anyways.

You've been given ignorance as the greatest gift to combat absolute misery of existence and reminder about that which is its opposite. Your lack of insight is what makes this world even more wretched than it is.

As a guru of fpbp legends proved again:

> You are a bitch

And there is nothing more to add.

this is just one way of viewing the world. you could also believe that life is meaningful and you're destined for some higher purpose. no one can say whats absolutely true, but I can say that youre choosing a worldview that is favored by depressed nihilistic people. youre choosing to be mentally ill.

I often remind myself that we’re all puppets trapped in a decomposing cage of flesh and bone, with a million desires whirling around us at all times like sirens attempting to lure us to our doom. That these desires are nothing but the conjured demons of economics, society, and evolution and while they promise fulfillment they will only use you to their own ends, increasing their strength over you, leaving you a slave and a broken human. The world of phenomena is a test, projected by the noumena, and to conquer it you must conquer yourself.

Although I might try to convince myself that life has some external value, after a night drinking with “friends” or a sexual encounter with woman, it quickly becomes apparent that most friends are not worth having, and that woman’s sexual desires are so perverse and banal that their even having desired you bears the weight of a bad conscience. What man does not disgrace himself by submitting to a woman’s desires? He becomes a fool, a brute, a scoundrel, a cuckhold, all at once— and looses himself in the process. What man benefits from society? He devoured his life’s work to the machinations of warfare and industry, he trampled the earth, he becomes bound up in stories told to gullible children, he is sold slavery and like an idiot wears his chains with pride.

Service originates in the Latin word "Servi”, meaning slave. That’s what society, friends, woman the whole world, asks from you, your slavery. In English, the familiar for of “you”, “thou”, has long since died from the language. For those lonely men in Anglo countries seeking company, this should be (with honest reflection) enough proof that you will never find it. We live in a civilizational world-spirit which lacks even the words to express friendship, closeness.

There are two things in life worth their weight in gold: freedom and silence. How many men exchange these treasures for paper? Or for a soft touch of flesh? Or for some false sense of meaning to disguise their emptiness?

In books, there is the peace of forming a genuine connection with another person. If you cannot read, write. If you cannot write, read. If you are still lonely, hire a whore; it is less demeaning and less expensive than going to clubs. Logos is the breaking free of the soul from the flesh, embrace this and turn your eyes from the treachery of desire.

> There is nothing to this life except pain, dissatisfaction, disappointment, sickness and death.

"There is nothing to this life except pleasure, satisfaction, elation, health, and being."

That's how you sound, anon. Ridiculous.

Life, existence, encompasses many opposing qualities, and it is our lot to experience its gamut.

Why should I believe the materialist rationalist nihilist worldview if it makes me a crippled shell of a person?

I dont care about being irrational if it makes me a more effective person.

>I would kill babies and drink their blood if it makes me a more effective person.
You need some measure of objective rationalism, or you'll lose your dignity and credibility. This is especially true for people who speak of every "threatening" insight as belief or subjectivity. A lot of people lack the grounding and viril development today to be even remotely able to face the world as it is, every kind of rationalism sends them off into their fairy tale copes (including religions and philosophical systematizing), or onto depression and suicide if the copes stop working. Its called being weak and meak. Fix that.

I am rational when its most effective, and irrational when its most effective. This is simply prioritizing my own success and well-being over fitting in with IFLScience trannies.

Not OP, I even called him a bitch to think like that, but isn't it true regardless? Not necessarily that suffering is absolute, but just cold indifference, which is mainly what suffering is.

Reality is a monist split into an illusion of opposing dualism. All the minimal happiness there is artificial, a simple reward mechanism for desired behavior, which is a progress at
any cost.

Subjectively it can be anything you want. Objectively, it is a salvation from absolute hell of true nihilistic void into the indifferent limbo of experience.
