Best form of psychotherapy- without meaning- nothing is sacred

[@TheRana124]

False everything becomes sacred. It is those that choose to hold things sacred for cohesion. Cohesion is the only meaning that exists. Everything else is meaninglessness. That is what happens when people say nothing has no meaning, but don’t recognize that the meaning comes from people being together. If you get people to accept that together is all we need then the things we find meaning in become fewer. The meaning becomes more clear. There is only one meaning that’s what nihilism leads to, but many people don’t get here

philosophers solving problems of being???? Why drinking in plastic cups?????

[@Arktuss]

Hmmmm, who do you suggest might be better qualified to solve problems of being? Yeah, plastic cups are a bit cheesy

[@therabbithat]

@@Arktuss Well I assume this was filmed on a college campus and there are usually plastic or paper cups because otherwise students keep taking ceramic cups home, or leaving them unwashed in random places
