Does human life have value? Who's to say anything is inherently right or wrong? Is it gay to suck dick?

Isn't it gay to ski? You're riding two long hard pieces of woods (expect for blends, those are noodles).

Just cause you weren't born for a destined purpose doesn't mean you still can't enjoy the shit out of it. I encourage you to get fucked up French

I see it as a good excuse not to worry about things. everything ends. memory, civilization, life on earth will all end at some time. so it doesn't matter what you do because happiness comes from inside of you. create an existence that makes you smile and enjoy your time.

The meaning of life, is to find the meaning of life. That's why there is life in the universe, to try and understand why it is here in the first place... deep.

Like there is literally no reason why the universe is even here, there's no physical law that says it even has to exist.

Keeps me up at night thinking about it

Getting this across to others who simply don't believe that there is a benchmark by which you can measure value makes debate nearly impossible in this day and age.

In what way? If we all kill each other in a nuclear war, or destroy the planet with global warming, what would have been the point of it all?

If all the human beings die off, nature will retake the planet and make it seem like we were never here at all.

Lol you totally avoided the question. I'm not saying you should live life like shit because you don't think there is a purpose, but what is the purpose??

I know you believe in god, but try to imagine that there is no god. What is our purpose?

There's a good chance we as a race will wipe each other out and the earth will cleanse itself over time, and what happens after that? No one knows cause we'll all be dead.

Without a God there is no purpose. Your purpose is whatever you make or don't make it

wow, reading this thread has managed to send me into an existential crisis. all I've been thinking about for days has been death, and it has been causing me real anxiety. I'm too young to be thinking about this kind of shit
