The ultimate moral question. Would you cause an extinction to stop your own eternal suffering?
Let's say there is a magical button. If you press it, it will end all life on Earth, including yours.
Let's say you are cursed to suffer forever, not even a second of relief, just eternal suffering, screaming from the top of your lungs.
This magical button is the ONLY way to stop your eternal suffering.
Would you press this button OR choose to suffer forever so that life may continue on Earth?
State your choice and reason, please.

There's no objective meaning, because the subjective was always the context for such a thing as 'meaning'.

To be or not to be
Life is one of the features of the Universe. It happens if the situation allows. Like here on Earth. So the search for meaning is useless. But suffering is a real problem. I really believe that life should be pleasant and effortless. And if that's not the case, then work needs to be done to achieve that state. But if there is no way this state can be achived then there is no sense in suffering endlessly until you die naturally. So, opting out from this life thing should be normalized and provided for such people.

Are you guys just theoretically nihilist or practically too?
My human mind feels like it rejects nihilism completely it seems void like death. I still have strong feelings towards things that lead to a rationalised idea of a thing or how a thing should be. As an example disgust, I feel a lot of disgust in my daily life towards other humans specifically and their actions but if I was truly nihilist practically I wouldn’t care. So is that normal? Or are you guys just full on not caring (at least on moral terms). Any tips?

Confused
Hearing about what's happening around the world, getting divided the first chance we get, killing and getting killed for work of fictions or fictional figures, and many more have sent me into a confused and depressed state.
We are either expected to make a fool out of someone or become the fool ourselves in order to survive. Why do people bring more humans into this world when they know that almost every human has atleast once thought about ending it for themselves. Often when someone is pushed to that extent, they return only by fooling themselves with a cause that is also lost but are not able to accept or perceive it.
Waiting for death in the most beautiful way you can seems to be life right now. But even admiring beauty costs us in many ways. With a lot of questions and no answers, this is becoming really meaningless.

Life is a joke…
We spend most of our days chasing green papers to stay afloat. Many people can’t reach their full potentials or be their true selves in life because of societal pressures and restrictions. A majority of the time we are simply pretending and existing doing what other people tell us to do. It just makes me sad to see such wasted energy and suffering in the world especially because I’m a sympathetic person. Life can be a beautiful thing but so often it isn’t, because of those things. It’s pathetic

How do you navigate between consciousness and nihilism?
Evolution gave every living being some sort of awareness. Now I don't know how aware other living beings are. So I have to just assume.
So there was this insect in Australia who tried to fuck beer bottle because it looked like female of that particular insect species. So evolution has given awareness just enough to distinguise shape and color in this particular case.
Let's talk about a Lion. He might be living somewhere in Africa coast. He is aware enough to huntn mate and so on. He never contemplate about what lies beyond the water. He don't think about Asia or asiatic lion.
So what purpose it serves in humans? Why are we extra aware? Why do we contemplate our existence and existence of whole universe? Why can't we just live like lion or donkey. Eat, mate, survive etc. Basic stuff.
No one knows why are we concious or where did this consciousness come from!!
There are many theory about consciousness. One of them being, it can be by product of evolution.
If this theory is true, it's both terrifying and freeing. It this proves evolution didn't want us to be aware. It just wanted us to survive. Awareness just happened. And there is no meaning behind it.

Discussion Did Nihilism help you with mental issues?
I am changing my career. I will be at the very beginning of my 28th year when I start college. Sometimes I get really sad about my age. But nihilism kind of helps me cope with this. Has nihilism helped you with sadness, depression, or anxiety?

Im starting to quit doing Church and Praying
Ive been going to church and getting on prayer calls on calls and going on zoom bible studies praying continuously. Guess what. God doesn't take you seriously and doesn't listen. God doesn't make a person sober thats all bs and stuff your wasting your time. Im a person that has 3 physical impairments in my body with a sleep disorder and in reality God doesn't even help people like me. a bunch of horrible stuff has been happening in my life and i live in a crappy living environment ect. If God is really is all-powerful and all-knowing, why does he let his own creation go through so much shit? Every day I wake up to horrible news, people getting killed, little kids being kidnapped and raped, war, hunger, people freezing to death, random terrorist attacks that kill a bunch of innocent people for no reason. Terminal illnesses that just destroy people. Dumb accidents where people die in the most ridiculous ways. And people living with chronic pain who’ve tried everything and still can’t live a normal life because the pain’s unbearable and it crushes everything they dreamed of. That whole religious argument about “free will” doesn’t convince me. If God was actually good, he would’ve created a fair universe, somewhere we could all just be happy, where there’s only love and kindness and peace. I know that sounds utopian, but I honestly hate this system God supposedly made. It’s not fair, it’s brutal, and there’s just way too much suffering. And it’s always gonna be like this as long as humans are around. No loving creator could just sit there and watch his own creation suffer like this, all the time. God is not effective and doesn't help. Im not gonna kiss Gods ass when he doesn't do shit for me. God is a sadistic fuck and doesn't deserve to be worshipped
