I don't really think anything matters or has any meaning and everything is bullshit. Should I take the route of 'well, you only get one shot at life so try and make yourself as happy as you can' or should I just suicide?

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."

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.

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

The absence of the will to live is, alas, not sufficient to make one want to die.

the will to live is the will to change

the will to die is the will to refuse change

but truthfully, chaos does not admit of will, only the interplay of forces

will is as much a lie of chaos as consciousness

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.”

He's arguing for nihilism dummy

ya but he's basically wrong because the nihilist still gets his panties in a twist about the contradiction; even nietzsche, the final word in nihilism, finally just imploded the brain that was obsessing over all these contradictory messages, and shot into the world as a body of impulses

for impulses, there is no contradiction; everything is immediately realized, as either won or lost; nothing is wrong or right, good or bad, meaningless or meaningful; but one force is more forceful than another, and every situation resolves
