Ermmm, I did send them a message... like an hour ago. I guess they're all sleeping?

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

No, we're not butthurt anarchists looking for a way to make everyone conform to their anticonformity, if that's what you meant. We just like finding meaning in things. Just looked up "Nihilism". And here I was thinking it meant "believing in the nonexistence of everything". Silly me. And I think you are mistaken, sir. There is no inherent meaning of life, this is true. But that doesn't mean we can't create it for ourselves. I think that's what we do anyway. We convince ourselves there is meaning, because frankly the question itself is meaningless. There is no right and wrong answer. What is the meaning of life? 42 is just as valid an answer, because hilariously enough the number "42" can be helpful to someone out there that it "means" something significant to for one reason or another.
There is no meaning.
Unless you are looking for hedonism ...the enjoyment of the here and now.... that could convey "meaning" "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest." G'Kar-B5

Are you trying to be clever or sarcastic there? Existential nihilism is the position held where the person argues that life appears to have no objective meaning, purpose or intrinsic value. Quote:And I think you are mistaken, sir. There is no inherent meaning of life, this is true. There we go then. Like I said. Quote:But that doesn't mean we can't create it for ourselves.

You're babbling. There is no meaning to life.
