does life matter
Sort:
To #3, people have debated on this issue for centuries. You’re saying ALL of their work was in vain?
I’m not saying you have to accept my view, which you don’t even know, but you should at least read 15 books on it by a sundry of authors before you claim you know what it is. 15 books is the bare minimum. A degree in philosophy is probably the best option to actually form your own, well-developed view that doesn’t obviously contradict itself.
Sounds like a nihilist…
Not saying it’s wrong, but claiming it without spending a few months researching it is irrational
Why are people discussing their existential crisis on a board game website

I completely agree with you besides your claim, “in my opinion” in your third entry. It’s virtually universally accepted among philosophers and scholars that if all humanity dies and nothing happens after death, there is no objective meaning, value, purpose, or morals for life.

You should be asking Why are there so many "Last person to comment will get..." threads.
They get thousands of post..but has anybody won yet?

It’s not an existential crisis, more of an existential question

As Leibniz said, the first question that should rightfully be asked is “Why does something exist rather than nothing?”

Yes, they of course might be right, but there is one objective truth and basis for this, not two distinct truths or three or four. But that’s besides the point, just a reminder that the opinions aren’t what matter, but the reality. Unless you have a rationally justifiable reason for it, I will not accept it. The reason why I don’t accept the majority of Americans is because a lot say stuff like, “There is no truth!” or “That’s true for you but not for me!” Generally stuff like that that is self-defeating
I mean yeah pretty much
For those who can’t see why those are self-defeating, apply the claim to itself

On the side note: I do find that, the law of entropy and the theory of evolution doesn't conciliate very well, just saying.
Wow, no one's ever thought of that before...
It's like a little kid saying I'm not sure that rockets work, because I heard the law of gravity makes things go down.
The Earth isn't a closed system, we get energy from the sun. Overall entropy goes up... that doesn't mean you can't do things like heat a cup of coffee (which lowers the entropy of the cup of coffee).
And for Garvey’s example of a self-defeating claim, ask yourself, would someone who believes this actually say this? It’s more of an inconsistency than self defeating, but still self defeating in a way

Many feel that, but that’d be destroying all ethicists and major philosophers entire work, which they spent decades researching. After all, ethics is a major field of study.
Yeah we know it’s wrong because there is a sense of morality instilled in us; the only question is how it got there.

Will you explain to me triple blind protocols?
Goodnight melvingarvey

Depends on what "matter" means.
Life has whatever meaning you give it. Treat yourself and other well. That's some reasonable basic advice.
