Why your exsistence is more worthless than you previousy thought it was.

[KUSA]

That would be the end of the human race, but not existence. There are other planets, and other life. It all goes forward. Technically there's no such thing as nothing, because even space is full of molecules. Eventually the universe itsself may collapse, but that won't even be the end because a new universe will be created when space expands again.

The universe will not collapse on itself therefore it will not expand again. It continues to expand out and will be cold in trillions of years. It will be dead.

If it is all pointless, how come you haven't killed yourself yet?

People have a sense of survival that came from evolution.

[Whateverist]

For all we know that is like saying that a bubble in a froth of bubbles will one day pop. There is no justification for thinking the end of us or our universe is the end of everything. It is just the end of us. No great news flash there.

Yeah, it's a pity really, but what can you do, eh? Tell me something I didn't know.

It is very tempting to only assign value to things which last forever, and I am prone to this kind of thinking, but it is quite fallacious. The circumstance that it last forever would, on the face of it, not add one iota of meaning to life. Why would it, after all?

We as organic lifeforms will cease to function. We will die and lose our consciousness, and then we shall reemerge ourselves into the state of darkness and nothingness we were experiencing(or not experiencing) an infinite amount of foreseeable time prior before we were. The actions we perform during our life, as well as the thoughts, are universally pointless. We'll have no recollection or feeling of said actions or thoughts after death. We won't be able to look upon them or contemplate them. The memory's of your actions, feelings, and emotions will never come into play again, nor will you care if they do, because you are factually nothing. It's quite identical as if life never occurred for any organic to begin with. We as organics all share something, equality in prenatal, and equality in death; being able to do nothing, and being nothing. ( more specific you'll still be energy of some sort, disassociation of matter, etc.)

If you really think you are nothing now because you think you will be nothing when you inevitably die, why work to keep yourself alive?

He who dies with the most toys - wins.

The BJ alone is worth living for, IMHO.

[Anomalocaris]

I always thought he who got the most pleasure out of his toys while he was alive won.

Shit - that is better than my version - consider it stolen.

It is not worthless to me now. Nor is it worthless to my friends and family now.

Every car you or I have ever or will ever own will some day be crushed at a junkyard, and rust into oblivion.

Does that mean that right now, while you own it, is worthless?

[Faith No More]

People have a sense of survival that came from evolution.

And people demonstrate every day that that instinct can be overridden.

It seems to me that if the OP was as wholeheartedly convinced of his/her own worthlessness as he/she is attempting to portray him/herself, suicide would be the only logical conclusion.

[Minimalist]

And people wonder why I think philosophy is useless?
