Crazy people manage to get out of bed and go to work every day.

http://bostonreview.net/books-ideas/mark-johnston-samuel-scheffler-death-afterlife-humanity-ponzi-scheme

The claim that human beings can live value-laden lives only if their future includes some human beings who live value-laden lives is just such a Ponzi condition. Since we are doomed since the human future will come to an end we can argue backward as before. Consider the last human beings, facing their imminent collective demise. Since they are not followed by a future in which any human beings live value-laden lives, they do not live value-laden lives themselves; but then the same is true of their immediate predecessors, and their immediate predecessors, and so on back through the whole history of humanity... Given the stronger claim, the fact that the universe is eventually going to break apart or come to consist of subatomic soup would imply that there is no point in doing ones homework, or in pretty much anything else. What is the point of anything if there are no value-laden lives to be found anywhere in the history of humanity?

Just the cold hard truth bro. Almost all introspective men throughout history have known this deep down.

Cr, everyone with a brain knows this is true, it's just hard to stomach for most people.

he is also conflating "ponzi scheme" with the "ponzi condition" which is more of a tangentially-related technical condition but i'll try to avoid being a pedantic faggot now

at a skim this just reads like adolescent nihilism dressed in bourgeois-academic language

Is it antisemitic if I can tell a jewish person wrote OP's quote without even clicking the link?

nihilism is the black bile trying to drown you as you reach up and strain to see the eyes of a beautiful girl.

the only cure to nihilism is a moment in time. a moment of pure joy and carefree being. too bad moments dont last, though...

The assumption that we are doomed is flame. With sufficient engineering we can and should survive the heat death of the universe, bro. Once you assume the species is immortal that whole logic falls apart. Also, Russia is immortal and forever so while all the rest of you may, in fact, die we will endure forever. TY.
