  • Can a common mundane thing not still possess some beauty? And even in having beauty or not, must we judge it to be good or bad?

    I'm not trying to do anything except talk shit on the internet. But yes, absolutely! It can be a coping mechanism, and there are definitely people who try to live to the fullest in the hopes that if they do it enough they'll be able to forget their own impermanence.

  • Also to respond to your example - yeah, I reckon seeing civilization repeating the same dumb patterns every hundred years would get boring fast. "Oh, facism is on the rise again, better grab the popcorn".

  • Funny, what you wrote sounds to me like a coping mechanism in itself haha.

    Which is cool, like 90% of what we humans do is in some way a coping mechanism for our own mortality. We are all still going to die though, accept it or rage against it, it makes no difference in the end.

  • Man imagine how fucking boring it'd be after only a few hundred years.

    Everything ends, and if it didn't the thing in question would lose all value.

    You sit awake scared of the nothingness of death, do you ever contemplate the nothingness before life? You are what the universe is doing in the here and now, like the crest of a wave in the ocean. The oceans waves, while the universe 'peoples'.
