I really don't look at it that way. Even in the face of an apocalypse, even if there's nobody else left to witness my transgressions after it's all over, the sad fact of the matter is that I invested what little time I had being an idiot, and that this happenstance occurred is a consequence etched into the very fabric of eternity. What are the cosmic signs of my passing, my greater influence on the cosmos, the evidence that bringing me into existence was supposed to be a good idea? If the answer is, "he did a whole lot of stupid stuff because he figured he could get away with it," then it's not a particularly satisfactory answer.dathwampeer said:

watch the entire elfen lied series, play a game, get a lounge chair, go to my back yard, pop open a classic glass bottle of coke, put on some sunglasses and watch the show.
Realist, hmm? Who's reality?dathwampeer said:
It's funny you're hitting me up for being self-deprecating when you're the one who said life was meaningless, the ultimate self-deprecation.
In any case, my experiences with the Escapist moderators tells that our little exchange has gone on as long as they will tolerate, so revel in whatever beliefs you want; these forums are no platform for whatever this is.
i'd probably find a beautiful woman to sit with on top of one of the mountains around here while listening to this among other songs already mentioned
Do tons of random drugs, drink copious amounts of strong alcohol and wander around in a hat and nothing more, then cut my left hand off. If we're all going to die I may as well see how many people I can freak out.
When you say your reality is the one exist in, there's a fundamental problem with that as reflected in the allegory of the cave [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave]. You reality will inevitably be different than my reality regardless of the shared reality that may be between them simply by virtue of our different experiences and means of perceiving them. To say that you're right because you're the realist is problematic because the resulting lack of fidelity you have at truly understanding reality to its finest details.dathwampeer said:
Consequently, that I have a differing perspective of life from yours of existential nihilism [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism#Existential_nihilism] is not going to change. I'm choosing not to continue this conversation with you partly recognizing that the fundamental difference of perspective between you and I are so pronounced that nothing you or I could say will change this fact. By virtue of physical limitations, this conversation can't go anywhere but to shouting matches. Your best bet is to try harder to understand how my perspective differs from the one you already have, a task completed only when you can backtrack to my very first comment and understand why I wrote it.
The other part of why I'd prefer not to continue this conversation is because I've inevitably received Escapist moderator wrath in the past whenever I became intellectually entangled in these "innocent" little conversations. It seems my doing so falls under the umbrella of "trolling/harassment" simply because the nature is often too hard to understand by whoever's reading it, and my attempts to explain them usually just dig me deeper into an argument, robbing me of motivation to even try anymore. Besides, this is off-topic. My next probation would likely be a 10-day one, if not permanent. If it's once bitten, twice shy, I'm shy to the power of 16th at this point.
