I agree, op. What fucks me up is what mechanism determined that “I” experience the universe from this perspective, and not say, from my neighbor’s?

poo poo’s wild man

It couldn't be any other way. Your "I" is just the result of your clump of matter and energy (and most importantly patterns/structure) going through life.

Your neighbor has their own. There's no "You" to transplant into their life life Freaky Friday, you are your life

Have you considered just not doing that OP? Like, just chill, smoke some weed, have a gently caress and play some games or something?

It's pretty good.

Meaning is something that you make, not something that exists :agesilaus:

If you're the sort of person who stops to think about whether life has any meaning then the answer isn't that life is meaningless, it's just yours probably is, hope that helps OP.

If your life has meaning then you aren't stopping to wonder what it is, because you're doing things.

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Sometimes i think "why is there something rather than nothing" and it feels like I'm standing on the edge of a cliff teetering into the void

The answer is simple: it doesn�t matter, go do something else.

right. i hear you. but bear with me here.

if that's true, it's still crazy. why does anything exist? why is the universe organized into "matter"and "time"? why do i seem to have a consciousness that is more than the sum of my memory data? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

reality?

for real

i'm not high. well. not yet. i'll probably be high by the end of this post. but i'm being for real.

as i get older it happens more often, on a daily basis now, these intense existential crises where i'm lke "okay so either there's a god and someone made the universe OR the universe didn't get made and has been here forever"

and it's like... both those options are so loving insane! really! why does literally anything exist? and why did that stuff coalesce into a brain that is asking these questions??? does my mouse Mimi think aout this poo poo? i doubt it!

and so... so you're like, okay, so what. so my third eye is open. reality is Maya. i'm listening to alan watts and i'm like "yeah... yeah"

but... so what really is the point then? what do you do? what do we do? what is worth doing?? WHY DOES ANY OF THIS EXIST???

why do i keep seeing places in "the real world" that i dreamed about 10 or 20 years ago? is it because consciousness experiences all times at once and time is an illusion or is it because magic is real or is it because i'm just insane? all those options are too weird to be true

Once I had kids and I had an existential meltdown about being a father and a caregiver for other humans everything became less and more stressful
