NPCs cant see god XD

in the way that knowing you will die

you are content with your own actions

and how youve treated other people

Ugh

right but why does anything have meaning?

like what's the point?

beliveing there is nothing on the other side

the motivation has to be something that transcends life itself

otheriwse we'd all just be destrutive

I don't know whether I should be living a life of schaudenfreude and gain, or fight for a future I deem 'moral'

that you can be content with yourself

like, you believe that life will continue after you die, why should you believe that?

why isn't it just as practical do say that your consciousness is existence itself

You should believe that all humans are deserving of dignity and fight for universal justice.

Nah.

because the very nature of a sentient being transcends ones own life

and without your consciousness existence stops, because if there's no afterlife, or no transcendence, isn't it the same?

it doesnt have to be some eternal improvable beleif

to transcend the only measure that one person can have

and that is one life

thats all it takes

This is stuff I tackled back in high school lol

alas

transcendence itself implies a departure from reality

i am not the only person on earth

so that's the divine

no

why not?

a departure from your individual reality

that is all you can confirm

why should you believe any other exists?

Why would you depart that?

to do so is to have nothing but faith

any sort of reach outside of that will never be known

and if having faith in the divine is silly, so is having faith in subjective reality

Wat.

lol

nonono you misunderstand

one individuals reality can only be defiend by what they themselves perceive

so

but why? by what right?

what is the force that makes this so?

Personal experience is more or less the only thing we can confirm.

you have a brain right?

but how do you know

Who cares what the force is.

luckily we live in the age of information

You perceive things v

because it causes me pain from time to time and i can sense it 😄

so we can actually see a dead persons brains

XD

now while i dont see there even being an evolutionary reason for an afterlife

brains are for NPCs

i have an eternal soul

i compeltley understand the search for ones eternal self

Do you honestly believe that?

no lol

its a meme

I'm getting lost in the irony here.

and the eternal self of every person that has and will ever exist

but nothing is eternal

(ie god)

unless you believe in the divine

thats the point 😐

claiming to even be able to peceive that

The Jordan Peterson discord is that a way

is just agrandising yourself

claiming to be above that is doing LITERALLY THE SAME THING

This conversation is getting too gay.

we need spirited words

instead of text walls

the blood sports aspect makes it waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy better

very much more gooder

so trying to base your value in something you by definition shouldnt be able to percive

Yeah I wanna hear rants

is actually more nihilistic

i disagree

Our existence is so fucking nightmarish.

We're wayyyyy too self aware.

yeah

well in some aspects

To where battle for perception and information is at the forefront.

if you cant perceive something

why not base value in things you can perceive

And we just shit all over the planet acting with our ape brains, but are high on this accidental unprecedented capacity for abstraction.

the general idea being that while for a long time

Honestly, I'd prefer us dead.

a sort of cookie cutter template for value has worked

Before we bring imperialism to space.

we actually have the privlege of having access for the meantime an actual mechanism for determining the own value in our lives

through tangible hands on methods

That is a red herring.

Why would we want that?

to give our lives real meaning

No way.

It does no such thing.

oh u mean the space imperialism thing

no i agree thats not the best idea
