Life - It's pointless.

[Richesly]

As I live, I constantly seek answers without doing what I had done as a kid, which was asking people online. I try using the actual skills acquired throughout my life, to understand my actual value of intelligence, self confidence, assurance, and ability to be somebody people would notice in a normal environment. I can say that it has been a hard feat to actually do this without using the internet as a resource, which can be quite worrisome and actually lead to me completely dumbfounded by a whole 'nother topic that I've had pondered through.
Lately, my own worth as seen myself leave the sphere of society and completely lose the ability to answer falsely just to move on to another issue. It's as if, by not using a search engine, I've became a person who I honestly though wasn't there. I sense a reliable mind that I didn't feel was there because of perceived disorders, those of that in fact seemed to atleast from what I gather, mellow out after leaving societal structured life.

However, this strength isn't a strength. It's a revelation of how empty and dull life is for us 'normal' human beings now. One, that I do not have any actual desire to live.

One, that I do not have any actual desire to live.So obviously I don't know the severity of whatever you're going through right now, but I want to say that I've been through similar hurdles throughout my life. And what I've figured out is it means I've "plateau'd" for the time being. You either outgrown your responsibilities at your job, if not your job itself. Or maybe you've outgrown a certain group you hang out with. Either way I've always found the way out to be growth. Various things I've done to get through it: dumped a particular group I used to hang out with(I know this sounds harsh and disloyal, but we've all known that buddy or group that's held us back growing up), learned the drums, got certain certifications to further my career, asked my boss for a raise, asked for a promotion, asked for more/different responsibilities at work, etc.

I feel it's when our lives stagnate and we're left alone with our thoughts is when the "unknowns" start festering and really starts creeping us out.

But yeah it sounds like you've just plateau'd, which isn't a bad thing. I'd just find something else to either challenge and/or distract you.

life is not pointless. we live forever through our children. inherited dna and genetic memory grows the species and enhances our progress as humans

we pass on our artistic abilities, hand eye coordination and other instinctual behavior. why do you think all you can remember are your biggest failures. its because they will leave an imprint on any offspring you create. our fear of heights, speed, giant objects, insects and other adrenaline spiked emotions are gifts from past generations. our ability to grasp new technology and understand complex mathematics and science is because parts of our brain have grown over thousands of years from being filled with this knowledge.

your life only has no purpose if you choose not to procreate. that is the meaning of life. I've done it. I didn't stick around but my child will carry on my ancestry and all its learned throughout the past 3.5 billion years

Interesting. I've noticed there is some correlation with suicide and depression and nations with low birth rates. Women without children definitely have much higher suicide rates around the world

Just a reminder that you only have one single chance to ever exist. The fact you can even read words on a screen and see stars in the sky is mind blowing in itself. You are part of something truly amazing but it seems you're over thinking it. We all do it sometimes.

The world can feel like a horrible place sometimes but the fact you are even here to experience whatever this is shouldn't be taken for granted imo. Just ride it out.

Good one. :lol

The whole world is so f*cking pointless, because existence is pain.

[8Ball]

It's very simple.

The point of life is to pro create and survive. That has been the only constant in life since the beginning. If you make yourself a more desirable "mate" then you get a more attractive mate to live with, which increases your happiness levels. Who is actually happy with an ugly male / female whale as a mate?

Dull and hollow and but true.


We removed the survival part of the equation somewhat. No longer fearing death in a way. If you gave cavemen healthcare and dentalcare, they would would be happier than we are. They may go hungry for a few days, but the rush of spearing a dear brings more pleasure and high than what we normally do.

[Jasper]

OP-
It is called self dignity .
You stay true to your self , you will over come some of these thoughts and forms of depression.

We can never evolve into a godly person , and matter fact many people are better than our selves , mentally , intelligently and physically.
But if you can be the best you can be and be happy - that is all that matters.

This is actually very true.. I use to live my life without many goals.. making wreckless decisions etc.

Your perspective on life definitely changes when you have children.

lol @ all of the people in this thread desperately trying to assign meaning... all a bunch of arbitrary shit that you cooked up in your own brains, hate to tell you.

There are two possible outcomes here.

1) God exists - therefore life has been assigned meaning even though it may be objectively unknowable to us.

2) God does not exist - life has no meaning and it's all just a bunch of random chance in which none of us have any say. Decisions are illusions and free will doesn't exist. Kicking a baby, laying down and staring at the sky, helping an old lady across the street, going surfing... all mean the same thing... nothing.

[rawimpact]

Of course one assigns their own meaning to life, we're individuals who value things differently.

Wrong

Life does not have a universal meaning.

[DoctorP]

existence is painnnnnnnnnn lol

[rawimpact]

I forget the name of the theory in Biology but I recall it saying the theory of life in general is to create offspring and the most possible. That is a theory for life in general not specific to humans. This includes plants, Fungai etc. and is what drives evolution. I don't think that's necessarily the same for humans but as I said before, the meaning/purpose of life is not universal.

[Shogon]

Desperately grasping at arbitrary constructs. I'm sorry. Cold hard objective truth does not care about your feelings or your perceived meaning. Life is not fair and life does not care. Death is the great equalizer, however.

Let me ask you this. Say you have a setback, what stops you from jumping over a bridge and ending life? Whatever the answer is, holds meaning to your life. Like I said, it may not mean anything to me, but it does to you. Meaning of life is not universal.

You can't experience either without meaning bro...

[Shogon]

You can't experience either without meaning bro...

There is no meaning. I would have thought that was obvious by now.

Whether someone suffers pain or pleasure, it doesn't mean a damn thing either way as there is no ultimate consequence for any action or inaction other than death.

You call it "universal" while I feel no need to slap on an extra adjective.

Of course there is a consequence, and that's not reaching their meaning in life. A persons meaning in life has nothing to do with death...

the title of the thread is "life is pointless" ... not "life is pointless to my human shell"

and I didn't even touch the spiritual argument. I mean there's a 50/50 chance of there being an afterlife.

personally I'm agnostic so I leave the possibility of anything open but if I had to guess I would say time between the moment we die and the universe collapsing in on itself would be instantaneous. and when all the energy in the universe comes together who knows if that creates some sort of God like being that we're all a part of. and at that point we won't have human characteristics and miss objects or sex. we'll be at peace and be shot out again so others can experience life. then all meet up again after another 30 billion years that will again feel like an instant. basically we will become God if there is one. that's pretty cool

that's just my theory based on science though

[DoctorP]

the only universal rule in life is that you must be alive to have a life.

therefore the meaning of life could simply be to be alive.

[DoctorP]

every game has rules.
life has many games.
but the only rule of life is to be alive.

The only meaning that matters is to ourselves. Although even on the grander scale, everything will end eventually so it's still pointless.

The only way it's not meaningless is if there's God after this life and eternal life in on the table.

That's the most egregious non truth people spout imo. YOLO. It seems pretty obvious life and death are natural reoccurring cycles and everybody experiences everything. Were just stuck in one perspective at a time. As it relates to today, life used to have more meaning when we had a purpose. I go for walks every morning and never seen a sad rabbit or squirrel. As they hop around in the morning sun and wet glazed grass. Humans have lost our traditions and purpose in the pursuit of individualism and ego. Which is horrible because it confines our mindset to a myopic range most other life forms never experience.

it means just being alive is 100 million to 1. you coulda been a stain on a t shirt. just being born is a gift so assuming you should be guaranteed meaning by having the ability to procreate isn't logical. and even then nobodies guaranteed they will even have the courage or fortitude to bag a bitch and inseminate her. and then there's the chance that dirty scumbag hoe might vacuum and scrape the tiny bastard. I dunno how many kids I've possibly lost to that very evil sadistic liberal mindset but I wouldn't be surprised if I had the same number of kids as Dennis rodmans father. only thing is 95% of them likely ended up in a glass jar

all that being said you're really only born with the same abilities as a parasite. you spread and destroy the host you live on. you multiply and divide. the collective is all that matters. if anything a runt of the litter being sacrificed for the benifite of humans is a courageous honor and nearly just as important as passing on healthy genes to the next generation to grow the species. so in that case you would serve a purpose by not having kids depending on the extent of your disability

in most cases people born without the ability to procreate probably shouldn't. and in that case they serve a purpose by not doing so. usually it's a health related issue and you wouldn't want that being passed on to the next generation

physical and mental illness can be transfered to your children. for every other species on earth only the most healthy, alpha and dominant male procreates. only humans choose to have offspring with genetically inferior beings

its not logical

i'm agnostic. i believe in the possibility of god and the equiprobable chance of there not being one

its hypocritical to be an atheist because its also a form of blind faith. and religion isn't anything more than a debunked bed time story to keep kids in line. it was invented to give answers to ignorant uneducated people and used as fear tactics to rule society. all aspects of most man made religions have been nearly entirely proven false. they're mostly just used as guidelines for weak minded followers today. not that its a bad thing. i much prefer people worshipping jesus than using a political party to replace their need to belong to a symbol like liberals have in recent years

what cannot be proven however is the existence or non existence of god and how the universe was created. which means anyone that isn't agnostic isn't being logical

wrong. making up crazy things is theism. agnosticism just means you can't say something is impossible without proof. you saying that "crazy" thing isn't possible is just as much blind faith as the idiot who believes in it. for all you know you could be in a computer simulation. or we could all be dead already. tesla is already using wired brain technology on monkeys. they can move objects on a computer screen just by thinking it. the matrix is already becoming a reality in our own timeline. imagine 1000 years from now. in only 40 years we went from pong to ps5.

soon humans will be able to pull up memory files and images in our brain as clear as the day we saw them. our intelligence is about to go through the roof when we merge with our technology. our phones are already part of our brains. without them we feel disconnected and stupid for not being able to pull up information on the spot at any time.
