If we are all fucked anyways, why do we need to be serious about anything? Other than weed and beer?

be serious about them?

Because there is more to life than us. Through our actions, we can try and make this world better for the millions who suffer, as well as our children and grandchildren.

To say 'screw everything, we're all going to die anyway' is a really quite selfish attitude.

Why do anything....why dont we just say F*%k it and drop down dead?

If we are all fucked anyways, why do we need to be serious about anything? Other than weed and beer?
Because unenlightened self-interest is really dull.

I'm serious about nothing.

You forgot naked women.


Be serious to end our problems, when we stop caring we are fucked.

If you have children there is a good chance they may suffer. If you have no kids there is no chance they will suffer, since they won't be. Is it more selfish to prefer to have children? :confused:

why do we need to be serious about anything?

Cuz it's funny?

Because unenlightened self-interest is really dull.

What about enlightened lack of self interest? I mean there are people who really could care less either way, cause they've seen both ways and they both suckity suck.

No.

You associate life with nothing more than suffering. Methinks you may be one of these 'emo' chaps.

Life is great. Enjoy it while you're here, and do what you can to make it better for others.

Aha! A right answer. Or whatever.

When people start caring they can get fucked too. There are so many ways to be fucked.

What makes you think "we are all fucked anyway"?

I'll take my chances.

without drive an a desire to do anytying - you're just a waste of space and strain on rest of society

Yeah. Take the Karma Sutra as a reference. :D

No.

You misunderstand me ol' chap. What I mean is, how can people be so confident of their worldview to go out and kill people or something. Is life really so serious?

Because we are? In what way are we not fucked?

"Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious." - Anon.

Or, possibly originally (possibly not. Who knows?):
"Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious." -Brendan Gill

I don't see any evidence that this life needs to be taken seriously.

Because unenlightened self-interest is really dull.
I think its still possible to be enlightened and unselfish even so.

Because we are? In what way are we not fucked?


You're gonna have to describe why we are.

Because we are? In what way are we not fucked?

Ahhh, I never said we weren't. However, this is the opening assertion in your thread. Perhaps there is an onus on you to clarify how you come to this conclusion. I don't get what you mean, please explain. Enlighten me with your intellect and profound genius.

Yeah. Take the Karma Sutra as a reference. :D

Aha! Another correct answer. NSG posters are a cerebral sort.

Not that it really matters to me either way.

Well, if you're that determined to be a nihilist, then why bother posting? Surely nothing anyone can say will dissuade you, and unless you secretly hope to have your optimism restored, you wouldn't give a fig how or whether anyone replied. Seems like you're searching for validation here, pal.

Heh heh, I was waiting for you to ask that.

We are fucked because -

If you are alive you will die, hence fucked.
If you are dead you have been fucked.
If you were never alive that was a pre-emptive fucked.
If you do die and there is no afterlife, man are you fucked.
If you die and there is an afterlife...
If afterlife is hell than you are clearly fucked.
If afterlife is heaven perpetually surrounded by "insert your favorite religionists here" you couldn't be more fucked.

Finally,

If there is reincarnation into another life, you'd be fucked only to be fucked again and again and...

No I know its not good enough to be stand up material. Anyway.

Yeah I'm a commitment phobe. I can't commit to any opinion nowadays. I'm not even serious about the previous sentence, or this sentence.

But is it important to be serious about not taking anything seriously? does that change the level of fuckedness?

Your definition of "fucked" needs re-working. And you need to get laid.

People take them selves too seriously and i think people should stop it. There's no need to at all I don't think so I agree with you to that point

However sometimes there's enjoyment in life which i'm sure you've encountered at least once. To experience that enjoyment again you need to prolong your life abit more and to prolong your life you need to take afew things seriously like eating, breathing, not going into a mosque and shouting "p*ki's" etc.
