If nothing else, take refuge in the fact that virtually everyone you know, including your parents and your teachers, have gone through this phase, and one day you'll look back at what you've written here and cringe on it.

Fuck off. Math is an objective truth.

I won't argue with you, but you did just admit that it's true, which is supposedly unobtainable... but we just obtained it in two posts.

you're hopelessly pretentious. get laid and read some dostoyevsky and becker. jesus christ

Charles Johnson
read song of myself by whitman, it's very affirmative
A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands; How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he.
I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven.
Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord, A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropt, Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we may see and remark, and say Whose?
Or I guess the grass is itself a child, the produced babe of the vegetation.
Or I guess it is a uniform hieroglyphic, And it means, Sprouting alike in broad zones and narrow zones, Growing among black folks as among white, Kanuck, Tuckahoe, Congressman, Cuff, I give them the same, I receive them the same.
And now it seems to me the beautiful uncut hair of graves.
Blake Edwards
get so drunk you can't walk and jump of a bridge. here you go, a solution that will solve your life crisis.
hahah edgy teen am I right?
Nicholas Phillips
what do you mean by this? There are many proofs based on the simple addition and subtraction of numbers, which you can prove simply by picking two items in one hand, one item in the other, putting all the items in one hand and seeing that 1+2=3
Lucas Gonzalez
>Relying on reality for mathematical proofs
Here's your axiom
Henry Hughes
reliance on "unprovable axioms" has never been wrong, and it also lead to every piece of technology we have.sth got us to send people to the moon. That's true enough for me.
Camden Wright
We were discussing philosophy, not common sense nice shifting of goalposts though
Ryan Gomez
Yes my dear teenage redditor, but that doesn't mean mathematics is an objective truth. It's very reliant on essentially faith in these axioms. It's not as if there's only one math, there are more systems depending on the axioms you pick. Getting someone to the moon doesn't prove it, it just justifies your faith in it, for you. Exactly.
William Smith
Give me an example of two different "maths" that are true but also in conflict with one another, my mature adult Veeky Forums friend.
Daniel Brown
>getting to the moon doesn't prove math is right, they just happened to make it there by random chance

Since we're all about cliches here, I'd say you need to get laid and not worry about books so much, young man. Find a nice girl, spend more time having sex outside and exploring the world.
Elijah Perry
Just because Newtons gravity can predict the motion of planets with some accuracy doesn't mean that it's how the universe works I'm sorry but it seems you need to go back to school
Leo Garcia
axiom of choice vs. axiom of determinacy
Julian Reed
That's exactly what it means.
Chase Murphy
Those aren't mathematical systems.
Colton Brown
umm no, actually the general theory of relativity is more accurate Newton's theory is entirely based in that we live in an Euclidean space, how naive
Do you get the point? Or are you retarded?
Jason King
Are you daft on purpose? You create mathematical systems by choosing a set of axioms as a fundament and work onwards from there.
Some "facts" are not possible in a given mathematical system given the choice of axioms, an example being the Banach-Tarski paradox which is not provable without the axiom of choice. Still you can create a mathematical system without the axiom of choice, and it would not be less "true".
Adrian Diaz
The fact that our understanding of physics has refined over thousands of years does not prove math is wrong senpai
Kayden Martinez
It also doesn't prove math is right, which was your argument from the start. Sorry
Bentley Green
Being based in an axiom doesn't mean it's wrong. It just means it's not some God given super objective skience teenage atheists jerk off to. Just about every philosophy is based on such axioms, it's just important to recognize how the premises shape the conclusions.
Ian Hernandez
Sprinkle it with some Beckett, Crawford, Brassier, Gray and Houellebecq.
Michael Moore
Not OP, but I'm poor as fuck (barely above the point of hunger) and live in a place where someone is murdered or raped every other day. Don't tell me sex is something that matters that much.

Not OP, but that looks like a good little book. Thanks for the rec. I guess the final manuscript is the one to read?
Julian King
It was never finished but yes. It's not that great.
Daniel Mitchell
Don't ever attempt to post something like that again.
Ending your life is a foolish act because you do nothing to the thing-in-itself, I'd recommend looking into Buddhism so you free yourself from the cycle of reincarnation. If you are sincere about destroying the demiurge join some Gnostic groups.
Chase Myers
If you'd actually understood the book of Job you'd know how dumb it is to vindicate those emotions.
Gabriel Gomez
it being correct according to those axioms is true.
Benjamin Fisher
Then move. You have a computer and an internet connection, I'm sure you can figure something out. Besides, the meaning and importance of sex and relationships is contingent: don't judge it all by drunken teens or whatever.
Ryder Jones
Fine, it just pisses me off when those blokes living in first world countries and upper middle class conditions tell me or other miserable people to just 'cheer up' or 'go outside' or whatever, as if the material and objective conditions of my city or country are irrelevant and I can just live in my fantasy world like they do.
Jacob Lee
>Gnostic groups
Agreed on suicide, whatever is on the other side is no better than this. No groups nearby for gnostics... any recommended books or media? I dig Buddhism, but I haven't been able to get over boredom and restlessness.
Isaac Jackson
Yes, but you (unlike me or most of the dickheads on this board) actually have material problems. OP does not, or he'd bitch about that instead of the "I'm pretending I don't believe in God while framing my complaint entirely in Christian terms that prove I literally have no fucking idea how else to see the world" stuff he offered. He's having baby's first existential faith crisis and thinks a little teen ennui makes him a philosopher, so I'm speaking to him at the level he deserves.
Noah Collins
Wew lad. I'm trying not to masturbate today.
Evan Nguyen

Alexander Reed
>hurr durr cliches are wrong
2+2=4 is a cliche but that doesn't invalidate its truth value. OP is 100% correct, sorry senpai. Maturity is not a quality worth living up to anyway. Yeah, let's pretend we are accomplishing something by organizing ourselves into convoluted systems of codependence.
David Stewart

Nobody needs to be posting trite dismissive faggotry like this here.
Hunter Jackson
the only thing sex ever accomplishes is the prliferation of more need and disutility. Even for someone who isn't an antinatalist one can clearly see that much of the iniquity in the world is borne purely out of sexual impulse.
Owen Hughes
when did OP claim he was a philosopher? I think this is a textbook case of projection. Your cultist views were challenged and now your knees are going off like firecrackers
Nicholas Cook
Reminder that if you don't believe in the divine and literal truth of the HOLY BIBLE you look like this.
Leo Watson
I have always felt this way also OP. I am trying to convert to Catholicism because most saints really hated this world too. The book Preparation for Death: Considerations on Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell by St. Alphonsus Liguori is pretty good. Christians and misanthropic pessimistic nihilists make sense to me. "Happy" atheists are in complete delusion or indifference. Even Knee-che eschewed this hell hole in his actual life.
John Bell
I would also recommend works by St. Alphonsus Liguori. You may also enjoy On the Heights of Despair by E.M. Cioran if you'd prefer something more nihilistic yet still spiritual. it is lyrical and depressing but at the same time life-affirming in the sense that it reads as unfiltered and deeply relatable. you will get through this, O.P. you are stronger than you know. life is pain, but it is a blessing. i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers :)
Cooper Moore
....HAAAAHAHAHA
Colton Rivera
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
Carson Reed
