He still won't want to experience that pain despite being a nihilist, because, well, it IS pain.
You are forced in most cases by the body to avoid the sensation of pain as it usually means something is going wrong and that you are being damaged.
Quote from: Jim on September 01, 2015, 03:04:11 PMYou're right, because when I die, if there is no afterlife, I wont remember any of it anyway, and it will be like essentially the same as if it didn't happen at all.But it DID happen. It doesn't matter that you don't remember it. You're not the only thing that matters in the universe.

If there is no divine creator then I am, because I only matter to myself and I have no reason to concern myself with others.I cannot remember experiencing the pain, and I never will, so it did not actually happen as far as I'm concerned. It's MY pain, and only MY pain, so if I cannot even recall experiencing it, it essentially did not happen in the first place.

Yes.QuoteYou are forced in most cases by the body to avoid the sensation of pain as it usually means something is going wrong and that you are being damaged.Which is bad.Nihilism is so self-defeating, it's hilarious.

I'll give you a raincheck when it's finished.
Nothing matters in the universe. Organisms aren't any more important than inanimate objects.
It's not a BAD sensation, it's a PAINFUL sensation. It is biological, and it exists in a variety of larger organisms in order to avert being damaged. That is all.
I do concur that solipsism is retarded, and it has no place with nihilism as it defeats the purpose of nihilism.

You could be doing whatever the fuck you want right now, because nothing matters, and you're sitting here on the Internet arguing with me.You're the most pusillanimous type of nihilist there is. You don't actually believe what you're saying--you're just an edgy kid. You'll grow out of it one day, don't worry.

Human perception. You need to try to look at it outside of our perception, then you'll understand.

I know exactly what you're trying to say. But it's just retarded.There is no logical reason that I should look outside of human perception.
Of course there isn't a logical reason to.
The existence of human perception maps out all of ethics.If there was no sentient life on the planet that could derive positive and negative sensation, then I'd be on board with you.
have a glimpse of what it's like.

Quote from: (sic) on September 01, 2015, 03:24:52 PM have a glimpse of what it's like. I have.And it was fucking retarded. Never will I do it again, because I'm able to recognize that pain should be avoided at all costs, and the fact that we're all going to die anyway doesn't automatically mean that we should just be retarded scumfucks to each other. Go be insane somewhere else.
You should try debating with more well-versed nihilists.
