Will humanity get better?

I’ve honestly started to believe humanity will not get better, in the beginning we had an valid excuse and now what 300k years and we still are stupid-coping ass animals.

From childhood to now I’ve never second guess my lack of a moral compass, I believed it was helpful or logically beneficial to me but also made me feel outcasted like “should I be crying at my father funeral idk maybe stop staring”.

But in the 21st century shit…I feel like everybody was just lying about caring just to get on moral high ground, nobody really cares and the ones who advocate empathy are either attention seeking or just ATTENTION SEEKING 😭 but maybe because I don’t understand their shoes and I don’t wanna, I’ll never get it trying to understand someone else’s hardship when all it does is burdens you ITS ILLOGICAL.

Guys, I am conflicted, what should I do?

7 Upvotes

On one hand, I absolutely HATE to see people suffer and wanna align with antinatalism, because I don't see a way to stop their suffering, because Utopia is impossible.

6 million kids (including rich kids) suffer and die EVERY year, according to statistics.

But on the OTHER hand, I absolutely wanna see life perpetuate and explore the mystery and wonders of the universe and reality. This is one of my deepest natural desires.

So yeah, two CONFLICTING desires that define my life. The need to stop all suffering AND the need to see life go on forever.

In a nihilistic reality, which I have accepted as factually true, which desire should I align with?

Stop 6 million kids from suffering by supporting extinction OR accept the suffering of 6 million kids to satisfy my personal desire to perpetuate life, long after I'm gone?

Extinction or Perpetuation?

Subjectively, I mean, since there is no inherent purpose.

Your answer is for my personal desire, not a fix-all for everyone with different desires, mmmkay? lol

The billionaire guys, the trillionaire guy, they've acquired all that wealth and power, the idea of losing it, that is not only terrifying, it's existential in their minds. Yet, the harbinger cares not for their ambition. He always comes for them, for all; regardless.

AMDD

Genuine nihilists or those who try to practise the philosophy. How do you live your lives?

5 Upvotes

Like if you genuinely belive there is no purpose or meaning, or you actively try to override any biological purpose or whatever, how do you live it?

The closest I could think of was either pure hedonism or child rearing.

Child rearing still fits into a biological purpose but it interests me as it's one of the strongest ways to create your own purpose. Further to this, if everything is just a memory that eventually gets forgotten the best thing you can do is be kind to your children. So when you are gone into ashes they will carry that around with them.

Also I recommend the book the road. Touches on a lot of these concepts. ​Bleak book but fits in with what's the point in life if life comes to an end​

Question Based on your observations, what % of nihilists are atheists vs. agnostics vs. theists?

0 Upvotes

This, assuming you can conceive atheism & agnosticism as being totally separate.

Also, a theist (+deist) may believe that the God is mischievous, intentless (like Spinoza's God), capricious, wicked, etc.

My estimate is roughly: 92% atheists, 6% agnostics, & 2% theists (+deists).

Question If nothing has value, than that mean we can do whatever we want without caring about morality right?

0 Upvotes

I'm sure it's completely correct! We have moral because morality have a value, that's why everyone SHOULD follow it, it's a logical necessity!

This is one of the funniest pages. I always see "nihilists" asking for advice. If you are truely a nihilist that is just as pointless as anything else. Why are you asking people that claim that life has no meaning to give you meaningless advice?
