Why your exsistence is more worthless than you previousy thought it was.
February 5, 2014 at 1:04 pm
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.)

Why is it that just because something won't last forever, that therefore that something is pointless? Is only what lasts forever not pointless? Why?

You would think that a limited life would actually be more valuable than an unlimited one. Your actions can have a huge impact on the future of the species, which is why we revere people like Benjamin Franklin or JRR Tolkien or Martin Luther King Jr. That's how you make a difference in the world, but also just something as simple as having children and raising them to be good people. Sure you won't be around to see future generations, but that doesn't make your life pointless.

I have accepted what the OP said for it is the undeniable truth.
Any point that you think there is to your life such as making the life of others better in the end is all for nothing.
If you don't believe this then fast forward to the end of all existence as we know it. Whether it is the sun going super nova in a few billion years or in trillions of years when the universe goes cold from no more thermo nuclear energy all life will die.
What was the point of anything when there is nothing?

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.

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

I'm wondering how you know all this?

No kidding - we don't exactly know what happens to consciousness after death. The claim that it ceases may not be outrageous, but it IS unknowable.

Since "worth" is a artificial concept I invented for my own reasons, I will make it useful for my reasons by defining myself to be worth whatever suits me to be worth.
