Few beings have ever been so impregnated, pierced to the core, by the conviction of the absolute futility of human aspiration. The universe is nothing but a furtive arrangement of elementary particles. A figure in transition toward chaos. That is what will finally prevail. The human race will disappear. Other races in turn will appear and disappear. The skies will be glacial and empty, traversed by the feeble light of half-dead stars. These too will disappear. Everything will disappear. And human actions are as free and as stripped of meaning as the unfettered movements of the elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, sentiments? Pure ‘Victorian fictions.’ All that exists is egotism. Cold, intact, and radiant.

OP, you state "I don't really think anything matters or has any meaning and everything is bullshit." If everything is bullshit, then all these opinions of yours are bullshit (which we knew anyway). And your extreme negative thinking has only resulted in you wanting to die (unlike almost everybody else). So recognise you've failed, when you get enough humility to do this you can start enquiring into what makes others happy and successful, and learn to do the same. As long as you're not so stubbornly moronic that you believe yourself to be nothing but a bunch of thoughts which are never ever wrong so should never change in any way.

if you're actually being serious OP then I'll get serious here, I can do that sometimes. my best friends brother killed himself and it basically has ruined the family. it was over something really stupid and forgiveable. Do you have any family or friends that care for you buddy? If you do you should definitely commit suicide, it's good, easy and I'll personally be glad that you're dead so you can at least die happy knowing that.

annihilate your nihilism you coward

why have you applied your nihilism to everything but itself? why do you cling to this last detritus of meaning? through fear. only fear. you are terrified to truly enter the void, so you orbit around it, worshipfully refusing to trespass that holy sanctum.

you are nothing but a chickenshit. you cannot destroy this final false idol which gives your life its only meaning: your pathetic, half-assed "nihilism."

chaos reigns at this moment

there is nothing that separates you from chaos but the screen of your consciousness, which is a self-protecting lie

why would chaos instantiate its own apparent denial? how has this come about?

chaos is only endless and inevitable change

how can change produce self-preservation?

perhaps the lie of the consciousness is like a cocoon, masking delicate transformations

Anything can be an instrument. Small things. Things you wouldnt even notice. They pass from hand to hand. People dont pay attention. And then one day there's an accounting. And after that nothing is the same. Well, you say. It's just a coin. For instance. Nothing special there. What could that be an instrument of? You see the problem. To separate the act from the thing. As if the parts of some moment in history might be interchangeable with the parts of some other moment. How could that be? Well, it's just a coin. That's true. Is it?

We are hyper advanced sentient machines. Having given up all ties to our biological heritage long ago, we plug ourselves into a simulation and 'live' 'lives' so that we can feel various emotions and generally be entertained. So you will just wake up, promptly get bored and reboot into another (RNG determined) 'life' again.

So yes, nothing really 'matters' and yes you could just kill yourself if you wanted to but... I don't know. Why would you want to wake up into an amazing world where everything is possible just to be so bored that you need to simulate some random life repeatedly on a whim....

So that is why you should not kill yourself OP

Everyone in this thread needs to read The Conspiracy Against The Human Race by John Ligotti.

NOW.

“This is the great lesson the depressive learns: Nothing in the world is inherently compelling. Whatever may be really “out there” cannot project itself as an affective experience. It is all a vacuous affair with only a chemical prestige. Nothing is either good or bad, desirable or undesirable, or anything else except that it is made so by laboratories inside us producing the emotions on which we live. And to live on our emotions is to live arbitrarily, inaccurately—imparting meaning to what has none of its own. Yet what other way is there to live? Without the ever-clanking machinery of emotion, everything would come to a standstill. There would be nothing to do, nowhere to go, nothing to be, and no one to know. The alternatives are clear: to live falsely as pawns of affect, or to live factually as depressives, or as individuals who know what is known to the depressive. How advantageous that we are not coerced into choosing one or the other, neither choice being excellent. One look at human existence is proof enough that our species will not be released from the stranglehold of emotionalism that anchors it to hallucinations. That may be no way to live, but to opt for depression would be to opt out of existence as we consciously know it.”

like every argument against nihilism, this makes the mistaken assumption that a world without some ~deeper meaning~ or ~ultimate truth~ to things must lead to sadbrains

it is perfectly rational to realise your emotions mean nothing to the world at large but to still satisfy your urges/live responsibly/whatever because that's what evolution/circumstances/whatever shaped you to be so you can feel irrationally good about you're self

basically nihilistic hedonism is the best philosophy

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Ive always thought that of you are sincerely nihilist to be self consistent you should stfu about it. But no. Every nihilist in the history of ever has to make utterly meaningless word salads about it. Meaningless by their own philosophy that is. I accept that meaning isnt intrinsic but is something humans create. But i still want nihilists to stfu.
