What's the point of living if our memories just dissipate when we die? Isn't our whole life just a construct of our brains? Why do people take life so seriously when there's really no consequence for any of our actions since death is inevitable, where post-death is a state of infinite nothingness? I know I sound like an existentialist faggot but I'm honestly just trying to figure out how everyone lives their lives without this perpetually on their minds.
Science vs life
Life here is just a vetting simulation. If you live a shitty life now then you don't get to be the control AI for one of God's death stars in the afterlife.
I would be 100% okay with this
Life is what you make of it.
You know how bees dedicate themselves mindlessly to improving their hives? That's us, but the hive is Earth. What is the greater good when literally not a single person will remember it? Why make anything of life if you inevitably leave it behind?
>no consequence
People take it seriously because
A) it's the only life they have and want to make the most of it. I don't know about you but when ever I get only a single chance at something I don't dick around
B) they care about other people and the consequences of their actions on others.
>What is the greater good when literally not a single person will remember it?
I don't see anything wrong with being forgotten.
>Why make anything of life if you inevitably leave it behind?
To have fun while you're alive. Use your time, it's going away whether you use it or not so have fun and let others have fun as well.
>Why make anything of life if you inevitably leave it behind
Why shouldn't you just because you won't last forever?
It's the difference between a musician who makes music to be famous and one who makes it for its own sake.
Everything that you guys have listed so far has an end game. You treat others well so that you will be treated well in the short term. You make music for yourself to make yourself happy in the short term. Who do I live life for? It can't be myself because I won't remember neither happiness nor sadness, and it can't be for others because neither will they. What is the end game of our lives?
You value your life because billions of years of evolution have culled anyone from the population who didn't.
Of course life is ultimately meaningless, but biology has instilled you with emotional responses that ensure you continue to survive and reproduce. Or at least attempt to.
