[QUOTE=Impracticable;25021497]Every life means nothing, we're all randomized and placed in an always expanding universe. Why does the smoke from a cigarette expands in the air and doesn't go back in the cigarette? Why can we expand but not go back? Or we can't memorize the future while we already been there?[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry but what?

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;25021498]What a load of crap.
The only actual directive is
1) Survive
2) Breed
3) Help ensure the survival of the species.
Adding sentimental value to things only attempts to mystify the workings of nature.[/QUOTE]
Taking a nihilistic point of view, none of those matter either.

It's funny considering the very thing driving us the very thing that's slowly killing us.
To clear up any preconceptions, my philosophy is as follows (From a page back):
Basically, if I saw a man struggling to make ends meet, I would give him as much money as he needed, within reason. The way I see it, if a person has said something about themselves, and confided it in me or in dozens of people by blurting it out, I would step in to help them. After all, I know them then.
The way I see it since the point of living cant be to live, and most of the points of living lead back to this, then the point in living is to do what you want to do, and thats normal stuff like have a family etc, until you die or it gets you killed.
This is a very compressed version of my view.
I really hate the 'me, me, me' mentality. There's a fine balance between helping people and being taken advantage of.
But generally the people that are self centered and self righteous are raging cockbags.
Praise Jesus.

Its all metaphorical dude.
Heaven is only a metaphor, no clouds and a gate mate, so rate late.
Lies, there is only one true way to live your life.
Give me money. DO EET
I tried to make $5000 in 3 months. I wanted it so much, it was to go and see the last space shuttle. I worked my arse off and let my grades slip at school, stopped being social, and I got nowhere. Explain that

You complain to much.
Never be regretful about hating humanity - it should come pretty naturally to you as a result of society so don't hinder it.
Those who did great things never questioned as to why they did those things. (loose quote from Dostojewski's Crime & Punishment)

Thomas Edison didn't say "Fuck this shit" when he was making the light bulb. He just said "I didn't fail ten thousand times, I just found ten thousand ways how not to make a light bulb."

That is a bad quote, in the context it is in, of one of optimism.
Optimism in the face of adversity implies an equivalence of assigned value to things. If ten thousand ways of not how to make a light bulb is just as meaningful as ten thousand ways of making a light bulb, then why try to make a light bulb at all?

To achieve the previously thought impossible? To create a technological innovation for the entire world to better the lives of those around you?
Optimism in the face of adversity does not imply an equivalence of assigned value to things. Finding ten thousand ways to already make something that has been made is nowhere near as meaningful as finding ten thousand ways how not to make something that is still being invented.

Are you still going to try and achieve your goal or give up because you're a pessimistic moron?
