As one of the odd ones who finds meaning in dwelling on such unanswerable, subjective questions, for the majority that just want to be happy...

Ahh yes nothing like a good ol rick and Morty episode to trigger an existential crisis

Damn, and ultimately who has lived a more satisfying and fulfilling life?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

There's also the question of ought we be pursuing a satisfying and fulfilling life, above other objectives?

I mean I am, but I don't think that's the only way to be

That also depends a lot on what you classify as satisfying or fulfilling, it could easily be warped to mean anything

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 4 points 6 months ago

I'd say "changed" or "interpreted" over "warped," but yeah those words in particular are poor containers.

I guess the problem is expecting anything more when we are all just chaotic meat mecha born out of sheer random luck meant to just repopulate and consume to keep ourselves alive.

We are in fact all still just basic animals bound to the limitations of our world.

We can swim diagonally while we talk about it.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

Can confirm, swimming diagonal is lyfe.

If I'm feeling particularly frisky, I'll sometimes also follow it up with a bit of a drift.

Swimming at a 45° angle, within the cone of causality.
