No, does it prove? Would that you could, is there are chance that it would occur?
Quote from: Verbatim on June 13, 2015, 12:30:58 AMthe entire premise of life having no intrinsic meaning is just absolute shitWhat would you say the intrinsic meaning to life is then?

Vampires or werewolves? You can't say neither or both.
Please Verb, stop avoiding the question. In the hypothetical situation that it did, would you possibly refrain from doing what you could or what you follow through with doing what it is? Does this lend credence to what could happen? Would this prove?
So your answer is no?
Quote from: Prime Example on June 13, 2015, 12:41:01 AMSo your answer is no?maybe
It's a black and white question Verb, there are no ifs, buts, or maybes.
Quote from: Pendulate on June 13, 2015, 12:28:49 AMHow can efilism be applied practically considering the likelihood of life having formed elsewhere in the universe?i don't believe there is any such likelihoodsee: the fermi paradox

The fermi paradox is anything but a slam-dunk. It's interesting, sure, but I don't think you should hinge your position on it.Even if it were true, the other big problem is the formation of life after we're gone. If conditions for life exist elsewhere in the universe, which they do, then we'd have no guarantee that it wouldn't arise (it may even be inevitable). So in terms of ending all suffering, an earthly mass extinction seems like a band-aid solution.

Interesting.
Quote from: Prime Example on June 13, 2015, 12:51:07 AMInteresting.i get the feeling that there was a real question buried in there somewhere, and that my answer is gonna come back to bite me some day
I know. I'm asking how we would go about it.
Efilism tends to go hand in hand with anti-natalism, but clearly we would need to reproduce until we develop means of carrying out this goal. So the philosophy needs some refining.
Also, does this now mean you support space travel?
Or maybe it was just gibberish nonsense to see if you'd respond with confirmation or denial.
Quote from: Prime Example on June 13, 2015, 12:59:25 AMOr maybe it was just gibberish nonsense to see if you'd respond with confirmation or denial.how about confirmation of denial
What is the thing under your bed?
How you respond to questions is nearly always more important than the question itself.
Expectations of when humanity will do interplanetary travel?
How does it feel to outweeb Tru?
inquire of me any such thing you desire
