To repeat what I just told you: It eventually gets rid if you no matter what you do. (And no matter which subset of your genes you have incoherently decided to personally identify with.) And then none of it matters.
- mantas 4y agoThat's a very simplistic view of one as an individual. Which IMO is very wrong and a big problem in today's West. A human being is a continuous process both genetically and culturally. Your forefathers form who you are and you form people who will live long after you.
- vintermann 4y agoIndividuality's got nothing to do with it. Identify with some nebulous collective like your genes, your culture or your nation if you wish. They haven't got eternity in them either. They will all die too, it'll just take a little longer. And then it won't matter for anyone. There should be things which matter for their own sake, here and now, no matter what happens in the future. I can promise you that if you don't find them now, you won't find anything that matters in the future either.
