Are you guys all smoking the same stuff?

Just because there is a lack of purpose does not alter the objective nature of reality.

[[Just because there is a lack of purpose does not alter the objective nature of reality]]

There’s a lack of purpose? Wow- then I guess we just stop seeking answers to life’s ills because quite frankly, non of it will matter in the end- I mean who cares if we help people with cancer? They’re going ot die anyways and their purposeless life will ramin purposeless after death with no memory of the puposeless direction their lives had while alive.

I suspect you’ll argue that the hear and now has a purpose because it will ‘help others’ in the future if we discover cures along the way? My comment ot htat is whoopidity doo- since life has no purpose, I don’t care about what the future holds for anyone because as soon as they are dmeised, that’s it- nothing, according to the purposless mantra.

Three cheers for puposelessness.

If there were any objective nature to reality, we, who are within that reality and subjective beings, would not be able to determine it because we cannot get outside that reality.

As for what people are smoking? The same question could be asked about how you thought up that question in the first place.
