Not even darkness, because darkness is somethingtherefore, logically, the most important thing for you should be younot that hard of a train of thought to followApparently, it is, because I still don't get it. Yes, we die, and there's nothing after death, "not even darkness". No duh. Why does that necessitate that we all must live only for ourselves? To me, that only makes me want to live for others even more. The fact that we die makes me want to make life better for everyone. Because we're all "in it together".

Man, I am hungry for a hamburger.
Quote from: Nexus on May 23, 2015, 09:58:07 PMMan, I am hungry for a hamburger.I've been hungry for one for twelve months. Bow to me.
it's just the most reasonable way to live.
If your existence is all there is
why would you not want to stretch that out as long as possible? Why would you throw it away on someone else?
I guess you're just a better person than I am. and I'm not even being glib
there's cowardice and heroism, but heroes don't get to live in the better world they created. so what's the point of being one?
Quote from: SecondClass on May 23, 2015, 09:58:25 PMIf your existence is all there isIt's not. You can't pretend as though I've agreed to this premise, because I haven't.
¿¿¿Por qué no follando ambos???
Well, thank you? But like. This is so bizarre. Why wouldn't you, then, want to be as cool as I am?...Because it's not as fun? You're just gonna take the easy way? The convenient-for-you way?
For me, the answer is quite plain... it's because I'm aware of the fact that there's other people on the planet, and they deserve to have a beautiful comfortable world to live in.
Am I a paragon of virtue? Not exactly. If I was, I wouldn't be so angry. I wouldn't insult people so often. That's one of my character flaws. But you see, that's me having humility right there.If I was like you, I couldn't rationally have any humility.You're free to believe what you want, but frankly, I find it a little disgusting, and little bit sad. Because you're a reasonably intelligent person who could probably do a lot to help humanity. But apparently that's just too much of a drag.
Quote from: SecondClass on May 23, 2015, 10:26:44 PMOkay, okay... I responded to all of your points, but then I deleted it, because I realized that I'm just trying to ask you one question. It's the only question I really need to ask you.Do you honestly believe that people should think like you do?Where do you think the human race would be if everyone was a nihilist?
I would prefer to be looked as evil to the eyes of all vegans than to bow down to a philosophy that I do not agree nor plan in agreeing with ever.
If everyone thought like me society would probably collapse.
Quote from: Korra Valentine on May 23, 2015, 10:30:47 PMI would prefer to be looked as evil to the eyes of all vegans than to bow down to a philosophy that I do not agree nor plan in agreeing with ever. You don't... "plan on" agreeing with it? What does that mean? That even if it was shown to be the correct philosophy, you still wouldn't concede? Again, I'm just sort of at a loss for what to say to that...
Quote from: SecondClass on May 23, 2015, 10:36:52 PMIf everyone thought like me society would probably collapse.Okay. So... why come into my thread, then, and be an advocate for your philosophy that you know to be detrimental? Why preach to people that they should focus on "the self" when you don't even seem very confident in that idea yourself?
Glad I'm going to enjoy the hamburger I'm having for dinner tonight. Might add some bacon on it too.
It's not detrimental to the individual.
Mostly talking about the video Mr.Repzion responded to in his video which I was just reminded of after seeing this one.

I will try being vegan for a short time someday in the future

Literally
It's hard for me, because I'm an extremely picky eater, but yeah.
Quote from: Verbatim on May 23, 2015, 10:52:02 PMIt's hard for me, because I'm an extremely picky eater, but yeah.How strict of a vegan are you? Do you avoid white sugar and foods with suspicious numbers in the ingredients?
Is white sugar not vegan? I can't say I actively avoid it, but I don't really know how much I consume, if any at all. I'm also not sure what you mean by suspicious numbers.I'm strict in the sense that it extends beyond my diet. I also wear vegan clothes and have vegan furniture.
This video is fucking immaculate.
