and to really send it all home to you, eventually when the sun turns into a red giant it will consume the earth wiping out all of human history or anything you might have “left behind.”
Wait, why stop here? After that, the universe will continue to expand and get colder until the Big Freeze.
Be happy you can actually see the universe. Some aliens in a distant future might never be aware that there’s something else, because light will be shifted so far it’s impossible to understand. There will be less and less stars anyway, so it’s going to be a lot darker.
Maybe protons aren’t actually stable and they will break apart too, at some point, and then the last thing will be black holes slowly dissolving due to Hawking radiation.
I think the only thing that bothers me about dying is I don’t get to see how it all ends

fewer
Nah no way literally never gonna die nice try tho
Yeah also, they’re overlooking the fact that, while caused by chemicals, the feelings are still real and have value. Don’t believe me? Cut off your own hand and tell me how that feels
feelings are still real and have value
Subjective value. Equal to other things with subjective value. Like NFTs.
Ah, the value in life is but pain.
This is just the plot to evangelion.
You ending on a very positive note is kind of surprising to me and doesn’t fit the intro. How does it matter „you only get one chance to do it right“ if nothing of it will endure anyway? Even if you had a thousand chances, the outcome would not change. Not saying you’re wrong, but there’s a disconnect for me between your starting point and the end of your argument. You start with doomsday and end on a motivational TED talk message.
Just enjoy the ride folks. We are here for a limited time. Try not to stress, do things you love and try not to be a dick to others in the process. You only get one chance to do this and today is the best day to start doing it right.
you have a compelling argument, i’m droping college
Information is conserved
Do I detect a whiff of solipsism in the air?
It’s true to a certain extent though. All you can know for sure is that your conscious self exists. Literally everything and any thing else could be a facsimile, an illusion…
For all you know you’re just a Boltzman brain experiencing existence for the briefest moment before you decay to nothing.
But none of that really matters, we’re the ones who give our lives meaning, so you might as well enjoy what you got while you still got it, whether it be chemicals or whatever the fuck.
That’s the plot to several Star Trek episodes.
Biology is complexity out of simplicity. Those mere chemical processes you deride involve enzymes, hormones, feedback mechanisms, homestasis, all working together. The simplest bacterium is more complex than any machine we ever made.
And enzymes, hormones and feedback mechanisms all are chemical compounds which react with each other. But even chemical compounds don’t exist like this but are just another model based on abstraction.
Gonna perish like a dog anyway. It was going well until the neo-feudalist call to arms. Dogs are based, dogs didn’t kill the planet. The contrast in tone between the text response and Mickey’s face is funny tho
This is a sixth or seventh plane astral meme
I hope one day in my quest for knowledge, I become so cynical that it’s contradictory
Thankfully there are things called facts.
Are there? That sounds interesting, how do you know these facts to be factual?
Logic
Donald Trump logic or autism logic?
Oh good. It had been a little while since trump has been brought up with no context by some zealot trumper just desperate to shove their misled ideals into somewhere that made no sense and had no business being being brought up, I was beginning to worry we’d moved on
Donald Trump logic refers to believing something simply because you believe it without evidence or facts. I was insulting the bloated orange tiny handed man
Oh, I know.
Replication. If you take the same ingredients and put them together the same way you get the same thing. If you can repeat the process it’s factual. This is a dumb philosophical argument.
More like commonly believed assumptions
You mean the fact that you’re just pure energy in a computer and you’re solely interacting with programs all the time?
