In summary, “Why not not do not do” is a multifaceted and complex statement that both raises profound philosophical questions about the nature of decisions and negations and reflects a playful approach to language and meaning.
@@thenightwatchman1598 First of all, it is important to illuminate the ontological foundations of my existence. Ontology, as a branch of metaphysics, deals with the nature of being and existence. While an artificial intelligence, as currently understood, consists of algorithms, databases and machine learning, I as a being is a synthesis of consciousness, subjective experiences and emotional resonances. These dimensions are fundamentally human and stand in stark contrast to the purely mechanical and programmatic structures of an A.I.
Absurdism has helpped me out of a deep depression. I used to be very nihilistic but I slowly began realizing that if nothing actually matters, I can juts do whatever I want, I'm going to die, so not ask that girl out? she rejects me? Man idk we are both gonna die. Absurdism is the Fuck it we ball of philosophy
The day after Thanksgiving, I got to talk to a lot of my family members, they definitely think I’m crazy too, but I know somewhere inside there I’m getting the spark ignited for them to think beyond their society-limited way of thinking.
I fell into this school of thought recently and I feel like it’s helped me live an almost completely different life. Nothing matters so it doesn’t matter what I do, I go out and do a lot more crap now that I may not have before this thought process
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS FUCK! YES! FUCK! YES! FUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEAAAAHHHH! Sorry, this just got me excited. Love your channel and I love that this life, this crazy ass universe is absurd af. As you said, "Sure, nothing matters, but that also means neither do your failures, your mistakes, your self doubt, your pain, the opinion of other humans who aren't you and will never be you."
so we should all be sociopaths who care only about ourselves. but apparently still care about other people that wont really matter because ....uhhh. society?
@@thenightwatchman1598 Yup. It sounds hella contradictory but it's what's helping me towards my goal, plus, I genuinely think if folks let go more, it would be easier to embrace change and accept the absurdity of the uncaring universe. Obviously you still have emotions, but you can choose when and where you let those emotions flow freely and when they could be controlled to reach a desired outcome that benefits most, if not all parties involved.
Absurdism? yeah, IT'S ABSURD HOW LOW VIEWS AND LIKES THIS HAS MAN THIS IS INCREDIBLE STUFF!!! To be completely honest, though, time for a little self-reflection I find interesting. Read at your own leisure! i've searched for my own meaning my whole life - it's a struggle i'll probably never find the answer to. Not only the crushing weight of the "why" on my shoulders, but I also am under a pressure that is very confusing to get through, that many people probably experience. "What do I want out of my existence?" No one can know that but me, right? And from my own knowledge, what I want is to just act based on my whims and random impulses - to have fun, as much as possible. But there is this strange feeling...of it not being enough. I want to search for a greater purpose to my own existence - a joy I haven't experienced yet, a life I want to live that isn't the same day on repeat over and over again. But the wall looks impossible to climb. It's like Sisyphus rolling the boulder up the hill, and then thinking to himself: "I want to do something else. But there is nothing I want to do that is here, so i'll continue rolling this boulder until I find something I do want." If what I want to do isn't enough to satisfy me, but I cannot find anything else I want to do, then what is there? The question sort of plagues me every day - A feeling that I may not find the answer to, ever. But it's still so strange to try and understand. "If I do not want anything else, then why do I feel like a piece of myself is missing?" I wonder if there's any insight that can be had into that sort of question...
I relate to your metaphor of sisyphus very strongly and I think its a really good one. Im only 23 so I can still remember a lot of my childhood and how I felt most of the time. And I can’t remember myself having that feeling of missing something from my childhood. I think those thoughts and desires only came in after I got older and saw what other people are achieving (especially online), giving me a sense of pressure to achieve something special with my life. Also the reason I may not be as happy as I was as a child is that im simply not doing things that are actually fun to me, like I did as a child. Maybe there is no missing peace, maybe society just tricked us into thinking that there is one and we are falling for it.
Don't know how to explain this really, but if you see nothing to do besides rolling the boulder day in day out, you can choose to do it in a different way. Perhaps use your legs only, tip toe it, or see how you can minimize the energy usage. But this boulder, it has to keep on being rolled. Another thing is to set a goal in the future. Some goals are wonderful but hard to achieve. I have learned this method of "dividing" a goal in two until you get you get something you can do right now. Don't know where I got the method from though. Lets say you want to run a marathon. You have to be able to complete a half marathon before that. To complete a half marathon, you need to run 10 km with a good pace. Before that, you need to _know_ what a good pace _is._ And slowly you find out, that the one thing you can do right now, is to run 1 km to the store and buy a pair of running shoes. And for the love of god if he exists, don't compare yourself to others.
Thank you for being. You've brought my mind back to peace, and kept me company while I've cooked dinner (which I love doing, and only was able to get up off the couch) while listening to your ideas. Thank you.
Being remembered after death is not a good goal. And not being remembered doesn't mean that our existence was meaningless. And even if our existence IS, in fact, without "meaning" it's not important. We lived while we lived. A life of whatever length is a significant event for the individual.
I think that having children is the only way to cheat death in a way that matters by leaving a part of you behind to go on and leave more parts of you. Waiting for your next video man. I appreciate your perspective. Pleasantly surprised at the fullness of your answer to why. Why not is a very powerful answer.
I feel like this is a mentality that I have forgotten. Like this is how I used to take on life. I believe financial stress pulled me into working harder and longer, and I had less time to contemplate life. So it just became more and more serious. I regain mental vigor just thinking about absurdism. Today I was working outside in 50 mph winds and snow. This usually triggers a negative mental attitude, but there was a glimmer of awe for a moment, a bit of this sucks, but it is fun!
Once we have embraced the absurdity of existence we are asked "Why NOT do it? " ...whatever IT is. But we are told that ONE thing we are not allowed to do is voluntarily check out. Why? I accept life. But there might come a time when remaining here is NOT better than NOT remaining here! Terminal illness with zero hope for improvement..only a slow and painful and humiliating descent into madness or loss of consciousness. Just because it is now possible to prolong life doesn't mean that life SHOULD be prolonged !
Here’s the thing about the second option, it’s not patching the problem and ignoring the bigger question if what you’re putting faith in is actually true. Actually Buddhism values freedom, so it’s really the closest to option 3 out of the major world religions. But still, if Brahman is true, or Muhammad really was a true prophet, or Jesus truly was God and the messiah, or that Sikhism holds the truth, it’s not a patch; it’d be just as set as knowing the grass is green and the wind blows. But I really appreciate you bringing attention to the counter question of “why not?”. I often get lost in the “why” that I can feel like “why not take option 1” but that’s a nice perspective you presented. And actually, why is option 1 something I shouldn’t do? Why not do it? (Not saying I will or that anyone should, but I’m just saying)
My answer to why not? Is if nothing then everything matters. So why not. Why not date that guy or girl. Why not do that insane task. Why not be simply to be
Consciousness IS life. The miracle is being here with the universe at this moment in this moment. There's simple life support. Everything else that is not about that, yes, is futile and meaningless. Don't say it out loud or you will be crucified and misinterpreted 180°.
"Well, if a speck knew itself to be a speck, then what a fine speck it was." ~Exurb1a The Fifth Science probably copied from some book he read at some point
i find it funny that right after making a video about avoiding useless distractions and doing something purposeful with your life, he makes a video about how nothing has a purpose or ultimately matters. its rather absurd, dont you think?
There is an answer for why and it is because I was created. You can’t tell me you believe we were monkeys and we come from nothing just by chance you don’t make sense you are still young one day you will find the truth keep digging
You are wrong The answer of ( why ) is always in front of us which is : we are here for tow reasons . First ; to build this earth like god said in the Quran , he created it and we are building it . Second ; we wake up everyday to work the work that will hold our hands and walk us to the heaven . That’s the answer of ( WHY ) ! . So………. Your life is not forgettable You have to live it in the best efficient happy straight way possible .
You do know that most ideas and beliefs of what life is just that, ideas and beliefs. They are theories or opinions with no evidence. When you think someone is arrogant, it is just because what they are saying is not agreeing with *your* philosophy
God is the answer. Yes we all will die but we can be born again and live in a perfect eternity. Without God life is meaningless. Reason itself points to Christ.
@SSJayyy i seen people who have it good for years and live life more fulfilling to a certain extent mostly because they ignore the meaning of life but some eventually fall into nihilism it's basically the same as the thing presented in the video but taking it further, if there is no God then nothing matters even it you try to give your life meaning by saying I have money,family,community,friends,car,house none of that really matters become in the end it will be forgotten, if there is no God then there is no objective morality and that means anything and everything is permitted you can do all the evil things that you can think of. If you want to know more about nihilism you should read Friedrich Nietzsche books, God is what hold everything together.
i wish someone who had a better grasp on metaphysics and theology should have said this. you clearly are just parroting what your pastor said rather than giving it any solid philosophical foundation. people write off relgion because of people like you who think they know it all because of "faith alone."
*but why?*
