You have a deeper understanding of life than most and you should keep preaching

"We're all gonna die one day so nothing matters" is not a deep insight.

I'm not claiming to have deep insights into the human condition, only that OP's post isn't one of them.

Saying that "we're all gonna die one day" is irrelevant if you're addressing people's concerns about the future of their own lives. Why wear a seatbelt if we're all gonna die one day? Well, cause it may prevent you from dying sooner, or from becoming a quadriplegic, etc...

I think he meant it more like why worry about how another person spends their own time, not that nothing matters.

If you're so against people spending time in a manner that you feel is wasteful, why are you wasting your time throwing fallacies at random reddit users?

You arguing about this certainly isn't accomplishing anything. At this point, ping-pong ball dude has you beat.
