I'm spiraling down into my depression right now and I need something to listen to in the background. I usually listen to studies in pessimism or Zapffe, but I want something new.

Remembering that the world as it appears to us is nothing but a projection or an illusion and that phenomena are nigh inexplicable (not literally), and then proceeding to live an epicurean life for a while really calms me down
Frick pessimism, just go eat some slop and then jerk off and drink shit beer

Ya know, a lot of people think it was Darwin pulling the veil off of man's place that imbued society with a certain level of nihilism or pessimism. I'm not saying this type of thought isn't a tradition older than Darwin, but it definitely put a big red bow on the thought.
I would argue the most damning piece of information man ever learned is that our sun will die. To have the arena of forward progress pulled out like that scarred our collective psyche. You could almost see, even in the face of our animal nature, coming up with reason after contrived reason to push humanity forward in some unmovable arena, but to realize that our planet is eventually doomed no matter what position we take towards life was a buzzkill that we haven't yet recovered from.
Probably why our fiction henceforth "took to the stars." It was just our want for more life scaled up.
Kind of fricks with that "world without end" business.
that’s millions of years away lmao. We will make it out of this star system, no cap
No, its billions of years away but you're optimistic about our chances off of Earth. We're not getting out of here as humans, that's for sure, and you're giving me a no-extinction guarantee in the intervening epochs.
Then we have to contend with quadrant sterilizing events, then big rip or crunch, and if all of that is avoided, heat death.
You should reasonably plan for humanity to die.
Yes we will die but we’ll have billions of years of utopia. And according to eternalism we won’t actually stop existing
>we won’t actually stop existing
That sounds like quite literally Hell.
That’s why we have to make heaven
>We're not getting out of here as humans, that's for sure
Transhumanism to the rescue
forgot who it was that said there's been three major shifts in history. first copernicus who told us we're not the center of the universe, then darwin who told us we're not the center of this planet, and finally freud who told us we're not even the center of ourselves
Maybe it's time to stop listening to what people tell you
so all three are the products of the bourgeois atheist revolution, woah
>muh science
Does nothing for me. I couldn't care any less.
Reading in a magazine that the sun would die when I was ~7 was what inspired my first existential crisis. Bad times indeed. Thankfully they've only got worse, and before long should be bad enough to end them entirely. Funny old world.
Logical proof that everything you will ever say or think is either trivial or meaningless. This is the book that made me stop caring about philosophy, politics, and religion. Having opinions is pointless.
What does he have say about language that people like Heisman didnt?
Heisman? Do you mean Mitchel Heisman? I don't understand the question.
Hah! Wittgenstein only wishes he could rebut his own argument.
That's already been debunked
Have fun anon
