You Are Insignificant...

[dejec1989]

Oh noes I thought I was going to make an imprint on the universe with a new look on Quantum mechanics that would change the lives of every single human being, we would discover space travel, learn the secret to eternal life, cure hunger and stop war but after reading that I can't be arsed.

I can feel it washing away...

tick/tock . tick/tock . tick/tock

gone..

crap >.<

[logobola]

I am for one relieved being insignificant as it makes anything we do significant from our point of view in this insignificant existence.

[Sythari]

I'm insignificant, okay. But I'm going to have a fucking hell of a time as I slowly die :P

[Kasami]

How does it feel to live your life in black and white only?

"If you think you are significant you love yourself, if you think you are insignificant you hate yourself." What is this pile of nonsense?

How does it feel like putting words into other people's mouths? I never said that, you're still pulling your conclusions from nowhere.

[slime]

OP could be right (most likely). Or being the insignificant humam being that he is he cannot possibly even begin to understand our role in the universe.

Until we have any other proof - the entire universe was created just for us, and is necessary just to have one single, solitary, insignificant tiny planet sustain life.

[Perkele]

You are completely and totally insignificant

Sad that some people can't live their lives in reality but instead have to make an illusion about their importance in this universe.

Still people aren't making any kinds of megalomaniac claims, they're just saying they're content with the state of things. It's that simple.

[Thes]

You could justify anything by saying it's insignificant.

The recent school shootings are insignificant and do not matter in the grand scheme of things. Why care about them?

Moral corruption at best.

[Seiken3]

Allow me to counter:

Yes, we might be very insignificant in the larger picture. However, none of us can really do anything with the larger picture. That's why we keep ourselves to our "inner circles". Friends, family and those kind of "circles" To them, we're very significant. And that's what matters. I know that I am insignificant to some guy in America, but so is he to me! Being insignificant to the universe is NOTHING when I can be of significance to those who are significant to me<3

[UnCorpse]

Relatively speaking, yes, against all of timespace, humanity is just a very small thing.
Against society as a whole, we as individuals, well, not so much. One man can do enough if he is lucky, and can change civilizations.
Everything is relative, I guess?
We are the mary sues on all our myths, religions and histories. But what is the point to significance? So what if we don't outlive a star, is there a point to doing so?

We are both nothing and everything, just changes depending your perspective, and your ideals. Is there any point caring about what happened before or after your existence? YOU are all you have, you alone are the one to judge.

Everything being insignificant opens up the ability for us to define what is significant. It doesn't have to lead to "moral corruption," which by itself is an odd term given moral relativity.

He didn't said that, he clearly talked about sticking to such nihilism.

[Hardstyler01]

Your existence is insignificant. You are a here for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of time. You are highly insignificant in the world, and the world is insignificant in the galaxy, and the galaxy is insignificant in the universe. The Earth is tiny and is only here for a fraction of time, a blink of an eye in the larger scheme of things. You will be completely forgotten and so will any memory of you. Nothing you ever say, do, or think will ever matter in any way, shape, or form, and neither will it last in any way.

You are completely and totally insignificant.

I get your point, but you're really negative.

You could also say that each person, each world, each galaxy is unique. Because there is none exactly like it. That's a positive attitude.
Do we matter? That's a matter of perspective. To yourself: yes. To other human beings: probably. To the universe: no. But the universe isn't a person, so who cares?

No, they're saying that they're significant. In fact, some people around here believe that they are more significant than the entire universe because they live. How delusional can one get?

And this is why this way of thinking shouldn't be left in the hands of the stupid. They end up using them as an excuse to commit crimes. It's the same thing as fanatically religious people telling others that they have no morals, because they have no fear of God, and because they have no fear of God they can commit crimes since they get away with it.

Way to miss the point.


Nobody told you that you shouldn't care, especially when you already have built-in empathy. It's just an observation. The reason why you don't kill people is because you acknowledge that they want to live, because YOU know how it is to want to live yourself. This is what empathy is, and nihilism does not affect it in any way, shape or form.

Now you're just twisting. Noone, I mean NOONE, has said they're significant in relation to the whole universe.

Did you read the whole thread?

[Kasami]

Did you read the whole thread?

As a matter of fact I did. You're seeing implications in places where there aren't any.

[Shukuku]

But if I can destroy the universe, then I win >=3

^^^ this pretty much

This is a quote from this thread.

WE are the most significant thing in existence. planets dont decide anything, we arent insignificant because we're smaller than them. They dont have a mind, they cant say we're small.

We are the MOST significant thing in existence, for the simple fact that we can say that.

As a matter of fact, you didn't. It's from the second page as well

[NatureDrake]

Well, I'm depressed now.
