how do you feel about the meaningless of existence and the fact that we are all going to die and everything we are and have done will be forgotten ? none of this matters.

it is actually making me happy thinking i can do whatever without any pressure as in the end nothing really matters.

Makes me want to suck a cock, but my luck would be as soon as he blows down my throat: they announce a vaccine and we're all saved.

by understanding existence doesn't revolve exclusively around my ego and self

It’s a brainlet way to think. Hell frankly it’s a reddit way to thing.
At some point nihilism got passed around
As some psudo-intellectual answer when in reality nihilism is usually adopted by people who just currently suck at life.
Nihilisum allows them the excuse to never grow or change or struggle.
To further my point, it is true nothing has any inherent meaning, nihilisum get’s that right. However things don’t NEED inherent meaning. You should apply your own meaning to what fulfills you in life.
That’s what is great about life, you get to choose your own meaning for it all.

>That’s what is great about life, you get to choose your own meaning for it all.

I think the point is that in the grand scheme of things life doesn't matter. Even if you are the greatest human being in history and are celebrated for all time, eventually this will all be gone. When you die, from your perspective in the blink of an eye a trillion trillion trillion years will pass. Our solar system will have been destroyed, coalesced into new stars and systems, and destroyed again 1,000's of times. All that was done here on Earth will be meaningless.

I'm half way through a Bachelors Degree in my chosen field; married to a fantastic woman; having great sex on a regular basis; have two happy and healthy children, and just bought my first home which is a modern 2 story on 1000m^2 of land.

If nihilism is usually adopted by people who suck at life then why do I feel the way I do. I'm living the life many people would love to be living yet I can't help feeling like none of it even matters and why should I bother getting out of bed in the morning.

So? You'll be dead and you won't notice.

I already said, there dosn’t have to be a meaning to any of it. There is no meaning for humanity, there is no meaning for your life or mine or talking on this site right now.
We do it though, why?
Because as conscious animals we get to choose to do the things that fulfill us.
There does not have to be any meaning.
It isn’t horrifying because there is no alternative to this reality.

Do you beleive in God, user?

Meaningless? So you presuppose a standard of meaning?

Millions of cells are dying in your body right now, the same way others are being created, they matter as a whole.
We are just cells in a giant organism....

Meaning is not eternal. It is a function of time. Thus, nihilism is dumb because it fails to account for time. Silly human.

Two problems with that statement.

1. Most denominations have rules and guidelines to determine how good or bad your eternal life will be.

2. Being a relatively short time by comparison does not turn decades into seconds. That would be like saying a year is longer than a month therefore a day is only 5 seconds long.

Idiot

We really cant die soon enough to be quite honest

OP has a joy deficiency. Not sure how to fix. Consider though, a microcosm of awareness and fleeting comprehension in an endless sea of void. there's something starkly beautiful about it.

Meaning is something you need to construct for yourself. Measured suffering wouldn’t hurt.

I don't know you. I doubt I'll never meet you, but thank you. Ineeded to hear this Yas Forumsro. thanks

Compared to an eternity - a good or bad eternity - 100 years is an insignificant speck of nothing. Even if the afterlife was only 1 million years, the short time you spend here could not be less relevant.

Stupid fuck.

not necessarily. given the steady march of science. These things might take 100s of years but the brain is just an information processing computer, making immortality possible in the long term.

1. cloning and transferring your consciousness into a new body.

2. copying your flesh based consciousness (brain, neurons..) onto a metallic/crystalline structure essentially increasing your life span by a 1000 fold or more.

3. Sub light space ships to reach other stars once the sun is dead...

Just get in a hot air balloon and go as far up as possible. You will find your answer there.

I didn't say otherwise. Learn to read retard

Is there a full video?

>2. Being a relatively short time by comparison does not turn decades into seconds. That would be like saying a year is longer than a month therefore a day is only 5 seconds long.

it does once you start talking about big numbers like quadrillion, decillion, undeciollions etc. When you have those numbers on the number line, a decade and 5 seconds wont be that far apart. Basically if you have eternity on the number life, 5 seconds and 5 decades will get squeezed on to the same point.

hedonism dude. I enjoy everything I can by every means I can. I make myself feel good, I make others feel good.

yeah gimme this transhuman shit, I live for this

There's just the small technical detail that nobody knows what consciousness is, and nobody has a better idea where to start than "the brain."
We could find out there's a gravity particle tomorrow than can be manipulated. In terms of studying consciousness, we're still observing its properties like galileo's cannonball experiment

I am not proposing to do this tomorrow. This might take 100s of years, perhaps even a millennia. My base assumption is only that

1. Brain is an information processing, and storage unit.. essentially a computer

2. Consciousness must arise out of X neurons interconnected within the brain

3. There is no soul, or anything magical about consciousness.
