There is nothing more freeing than embracing nihilism. We're just sentient space dust, after all.

- irjustin 5y agoTotally. The concept of heat death made everything feel pointless to me (that was my moment). Heat death is well over 10^106 years away[0] but for some reason i was like wtf... nothing matters.

- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoI find it it incredibly funny to worry about the heat death of the universe. That's so far beyond our scope of comprehension and the limits of the lifetime of the entire human race it does not matter in the slightest. It feels like the most absurd form of existential egotism.
- 1_player 5y agoYeah that's fair enough. I care more about the end of my consciousness and my own dust turning to dust yet again than the heat death of the universe, something that's so far away, and asymptotically won't ever happen. Is it really the end if nothing can "experience" it?
- SketchySeaBeast 5y ago> I care more about the end of my consciousness Oh yeah, that one is very personal and I continually struggle with it.
