Discontinue the human race (whining thread)

[goldenecitrone]

My new thread just got banned, so I'll repost the OP here instead (hope that's not against the rules):

"The universe is a death trap around us, and we can't escape it or understand it.

Imagine a giant cage, then imagine some of the particles making up the cage morphed into mice, who then looked at the cage around us and said 'wow, a giant inscrutable death trap. This sucks.' The mice are us.

I feel like I should go into physics in order to try to unlock the universe's secrets, but why bother? I will never know the answers. Why set myself up for a dissapointment? why even bother?

The universe is our coffin, and we suffocate slowly."

You're an idiot.

drew, what is your favourite colour? And what is your favourite animal? And what is your favourite food? Music? Films?

You're too emo to take seriously.

Thanks for trying to lighten the mood, but can we please stick to the above topic?

I'd like some real responses please. Should I go into physics or not?

 

[Orang Utan]

I'm not trying to lighten the mood - I'm trying to find out what interests you

 

[butchersapron]

yes drews, definetely.

What does it matter, you'll be dead in 50 years.

Seriously though, physics is fun if you've got the brain for it. Why not?

What a load of emo bollocks!

In answer to your OP - if there's no point in living, then there's no point in dying

 

[drews]

Oh yeah? Where am I wrong? How about a constructive criticism?

Please, guys, I'm serious about the above post #29 about the universe. What should I do? What do you think?

 

[Crispy]

I think you need to sort your head out before you start making life choices.

I think you have a bad attitude

 

[drews]

I think you need to sort your head out before you start making life choices.

There is no 'sorting my head out'. As Zapffe the philosopher once said, in regards to our existential hopelesness, there will never be an answer. I will never have JPELCU; there is no hope.

Now answer post 29 please.

Fuck zapffe. Who decided he was right? And who decided that you need your precious jecplu? The answer, my friend, is you and you can change your mind - people do it all the time.

Now answer post 29 please.

OK.

Because you will discover a part of the answers, which should be satidfaction enough for any sane human being. You, on the other hand, appear to be dangerously un-sane, with a sociopathic attitude to other people and a complete disregard for the things that the majority of the human race live and strive for.

drews - without wanting to sound patronising I don't think there is much wrong with you that a few more years won't sort out. Go into social work or teaching and try helping someone with real problems. I don't think Physics is meant to deal with your temporary angst.

 

[Crispy]

tru that. there's only so long you can keep up the nihilism thing before you just get bored of it.

 

[Dr_Herbz]

Why should "we" do things because you are having an existential crisis.

If you hate life that much, take the coward's road.

get yourself a few bottles of cider and go off down a park somewhere

We could nip out for a pie and a pint, bach. Cheer you right up. Tidy.

You want something you can't have and if you can't have this specific desire then you don't desire anything. It's not an argument. It's not philosophy. It's not profound. It's just self-pitying drivel.

It's curry club at wetherspoons too!

 

[nosos]

Take comfort in beer and food, Drew

 

[nosos]

I mean for all your bitching you've yet to provide any sort of argument to illustrate why satisfaction has to be non-transitory to be meaningful or worthwhile.

Why is beer and food worthless just because it only lasts as long as its consumption?

If you're that bothered by existential hopelessness why not go the Artaud route?

 

[Gavin Bl]

the pessimist is right in the end, but the optimist enjoys the trip.

OK - take this one step further........

Your mice evolve and develop theories which begin to explain the universe very well, this takes bloody ages because the universe is pretty complex and after all they are only mice.

The mice get pretty good at this and decide to check out every corner of their coffin, they re-name it - the beautiful coffin (as a sort of joke).

Eventually after many many further years (please stick with this for just a moment - I know your knee is jerking already) two genius mice work out how to get outside the coffin somehow and go exploring together on a mission.

they get outside and it really is rather strange, most unlike the beautiful coffin, there are load of new questions.

One of the mice (mouse A) is very exited and says "wow - I can't wait to start making plans for checking out this place".

The other mouse says (mouse B) "fuck that - this is just our coffin we are both doomed"

Mouse A says "you have two options - live in a beautiful coffin or don't live"

I am more like mouse A - you are more like mouse B.

Mouse C says it was clearly faked.

 

[User 301X/5.1]

Mouse C says it was clearly faked.

Mouse A says: "it's a beautiful fake isn't it!, but if its a fake it must be a copy of something?? I can nearly imagine just how amazingly beautiful the real one is, but I am just a fake mouse so I could never really understand what real really means.

I guess the relationship between us fake mice and this fake universe is simlar to the relationship between real mice and the real universe"
