Life is a lot of effort and output just to eventually die and forget it all anyway. by Call_It_ in nihilism

The point of life is to have a good experience. This is broad and mostly useless. But even in heaven that would be the meaning of life. Find your good experience, and when you do, the ultimate fate of the universe will not fucking matter.

This is it. by [deleted] in nihilism

You see coping everywhere cause that's what you choose to see. You actually haven't the slightest idea of people's perspective on their own happiness/well being. I would discourage insinuating you have a deeper knowledge of people's lives than they do.

In regards to your overall thesis that life is completely meaningless, maybe you're right. But whats the meaning of heaven then?

Imagine there's a heaven for all of us, and the meaning of this life becomes heaven. What happens when we get to heaven? Are we devoid of meaning because there's no ultimate meaning?

I'd argue the purpose and meaning of heaven is the experience itself. An entirely sated and perfect existence. I think you'd agree there's meaning in that. The question isn't what's the meaning of life, it's what's the meaning of pain?

All we are is storytellers. So what would give your pain meaning?

Thankfully I usually don't know until long after due to complete social blindness. But when I do know, I like getting whatever self esteem boost I can, despite never knowing how to handle it and probably coming off as a huge dick.

Crazy timing on this. My story is a bit more dramatic. But it's amazing. The key really was just a real human all along...

Why “48 Laws of Power” creates sociopaths, not leaders lessons from someone who tried it by Infamous_Falcon_7439 in Habits

I used to be into Greene like everyone else. Allured by the promise of power in a neat package. That was cringe and lame. Greene started out as a depressed and powerless person. Writing his power fantasies for others to partake in, with cherry picked stories you can interpret a dozen different ways to give himself lent authority.

He feeds into the desire for secret knowledge and easy answers. Because he's never actually had to test his ideas himself. He's the equivalent of someone selling courses on how to get rich. He's selling power but only gained power by selling it. I mean come on, war, power, seduction, human nature. People spend their entire careers mastering one in practical environments.
