Hey paki. shut the fuck up.

[WhyLifeIsPointless]

@AllSmiles87X I am defending the view that life is meaningless due to the way matter is arranged in my brain. From a universal perspective, life has no meaning. People do not do things based on logic, people do things and believe in things based on how atoms are arranged in one's brain. When you die, you stop existing. There was a time when you didn't exist and it was the past 14 billion years. Imagine not existing forever. You become nothing.

@WhyLifeIsPointless My question to you is why are you defending the view that life is pointless if in fact life is pointless? The fact that you are defending your position that life is meaningless tells me you find value in standing for your position and in so doing proves that you believe in meaning and that life is not pointless.

@WhyLifeIsPointless i call it a point, you call it a fact. it all ends up the same place: you making a meaningful explanation at the same time implying that everything is meaningless. i agree that the meaning to life is subjective but that's not the argued topic. the argued topic is you leaving comments you agreed was pointless.

[WhyLifeIsPointless]

@h8tingit No, I do not see a contradiction to this. I am not trying to make a point, I am stating a fact. Saying that there is a meaning to life would be subjective because life itself doesn't exist from a universal point of view. What does exist are atoms that make up you. Just because we classify a certain arrangement of atoms as life doesn't mean that there is a purpose for that arrangement of atoms. Any meaning to life is from your own point of view, not independent of any observer.

[h8tingit]

@WhyLifeIsPointless don't you see the contradiction in this? you are trying to make a point while at the same time implying that everything is pointless.

[h8tingit]

@WhyLifeIsPointless you went from being incapable of understanding a meaning to being capable of understanding because you were taught that. children, the mentally handicapped, even a deaf, blind, and mute individual are taught to understand--helen keller is proof of this. animals, i don't care if even anne sullivan teaches them, will never be able to comphrehend and hold an intelligent conversation. and let's not change the subject, you said and even agreed that saying anything was pointless.

[WhyLifeIsPointless]

@h8tingit Guess what? It's pointless to watch TV, yet I do it. I also agree that it's pointless for me to say anything. A dog does things without a reason and I do as well. It doesn't matter that animals can't explain the meaning to life. When born, I went from being incapable to understanding a meaning to life to being able to, yet the entire time I was doing things. h8tingit, why don't you tell me what the meaning of life is since you think there is one.

[h8tingit]

@WhyLifeIsPointless animals can't form words and hold an intelligent conversation. animals can't explain the meaning of life, how to drive a car, how to cook, etc. who are you to speak for them? no, as i said before, if believe that life is pointless, everything you said is pointless and there is no reason for you to be leaving comments.
