Your own well-being matters to you, therefore things do matter. Mayhaps not in a universal way, for the purpose of this conversation, but on a lesser, human scale, things do matter. Surely, you hold that to be the case?
The only person who's confused is you. I'm not being misleading. I'm saying quite clearly that nothing actually matters. Which in the context of what I said, was obviously meant to be taken as an objective view.
Subjectively, ofcourse things matter to each person. But the point that sailed over your head is that because things objectively don't actually matter, what you subjectively choose to be bothered by, is exactly that, subjective.
You asked a fairly simple question in the OP and I answered it. Now you're just trying to be a dickwad by attempting to argue with people when there isn't even an argument.
Why is it in every post I see you make, someone will make a point where the meaning is obvious, but you blatantly misconstrue their post in order to make yourself sound intellectually superior and give the impression as though "you know what you're talking about" and everyone else doesn't. It's not a very nice habit.
