It seems like the unspoken of ILP of late has been in the search of answers.
Scanning the topics i get the feeling that people are clawing out for answers. The answers.
They have no direction.
I’m going to help these people.
The ultimate answer:
Look out your window… See the world?.. It’s out there, so go own it.
People originally persue philosophy in order to figure out better ways to live, by the end of it most of them get confused when you even mention the word live.
Somewhere in their philosophical travels they lost grip of their justification for living, not being able to resolve the question “should we live” in their own minds.
I’m going to be blunt. the question “should we live” is irrelevant. We are living. Thanks to pain most of us won’t commit suicide.
The answer is clear to me. If you aren’t going to live in the best way possible then you shouldn’t live at all.
Perhaps i’m just blowing smoke, but to all you grabby philosophers, get out the poor house. Your’re smellin up the joint
Yeah no shit man. I’m tired of people thinking that they’ve really got something figured out because they’ve discovered the unanswerable questions. Those morons need to stop jacking off thier minds and go get a life.
Pain shouldn’t keep us from killing ourselves. We experience much more pain living than we would putting a bullet in our brain.
Hell, use a shotgun, and it’ll be over instantly.
Why not control the pain factor of your death rather than wait and hope that your natural death isn’t horrifically painful?
Not that I feel that way in reality though. I like what your saying. Makes me want to load up a backpack, and just choose a direction in which to walk. See where it takes me. Unfortunately this is difficult to do in our society.
Internally with my own private language. Come on man. I’m not interested in the angst of the lives of the people here. I came to this site to expand my understanding in philosophy. After about 30 days I realized that wasn’t likely to happen, so I just started mocking all of you. Now challenge me in a coherent way, or respond to a thread that isn’t about justifying your preexisting beliefs and I’ll consider giving something worthwhile in return. Otherwise I’ll just keep laughing at the shallow, uninteseting thinking that I encounter from most of the posters here.
