Is everything we do and create (belief systems, children, religion, culture) just a coping mechanism against the idea that we're entirely inconsequential and will disappear for eternity once we die?

>> No.13780251

That something won't matter in a thousand years is as pointless as to say it doesn't matter to the chinese man on the other side if the world.
It matters to me.

You're missing the point, what I'm asking is "Why does it matter to you? Do you do it to stop thinking about your imminent death or do you have the illusion that whatever you do will matter once you cease existing?"

>> No.13780271

No,
Everything we do and create is a coping mechanism against the idea that we are full of absolute meaning and without walking the eternal path of realisation of said meaning we will die an impotent wick in a burnt out candle of a body. But this is a big boi truth and a lot of people can't grasp that.

No, it is a coping mechanism against the idea that we're eternally consequential and will be forced to realize the whole Semiosis of our very lives before God.

Is rejection of God Truth Good just a cope from immoral fags so they don't have to face the reality of eternal suffering once they die?

and the basis for my care is evolved and therefore shared with many (human universals), and so we live intersubjectively communally, always. There's only us and our. If you don't want to be a part of that beauty, it's your loss.

You are not making any sense, as expected of someone who confronts his own mortality and has to hastily build up an imaginary sandcastle of meaning to protect himself

>> No.13780572

>>13780554
If everything is equal in objective value then there's only ourselves, the intersubjective, who are the founders of meaning. And we find that we already care, care comes to us by itself, there's no necessity to create it. I'm sorry for your autism.

I see that the autism is strong in you.
You must fight this edge, stop thinking your quirkiness is a good thing; they might laugh at you clown behavior but they will never love you.
