Dealing with existential nihilism

[Mystic]

To disbelief on the rational, that it's too good to be true makes no sense.

That sentence made no sense.

Promise of a utopia is too good to be true. That is how all good cons work. Appeal to the person's emotions and sell them the absurd.

It is also how financial scams work. A con artist will try to get you to part with your money in an "investment" and tell you you will get 20% to 30% return. In the regulated stock market when the investment company legally sells it, your returns are no more higher on average than 10-12% max. 

"Forever" is fictional, it is a utopia. It is merely your wanting one, not actually being one in reality. If it sounds too good to be true. 

The Ancient Egyptians also had a concept of a "forever" afterlife. So does Hinduism so do Christians, so do the Japanese. 

Did you know I own the Brooklyn Bridge? I can sell you stock in it and you can be part owner of it. The investment will yield 20% to 30% return per year.

What language was that?

I'm hoping it was a typo, I do that too. I'm afraid to repeat that to Seri, I think my cell phone would crash.
