The notion that one person's life were more meaningful than another is an illusion.

Your legacy is as fleeting as your life, when you're dead the only thing you are is a memory, depending on what you did, a few people may remember you but once they die no one will remember you. Once humanity comes to an end, all human achievement will be equally useless so wake up.

The value of life is in the moment, enjoy your life to the fullest so you can die with a smile on your face, knowing you had a blast.

Of course, none of this is to say progress isn't good, go for it but don't lose sight of what truly matters in the end.
You're a nihilist whether you realize it or not. I find nihilism the most irrational life philosophy compared to existentialism or absurdism (which is the most reasonable). I believe there is no way to verify someone's life worth on a universal scale, because there is no way to verify inherent meaning to life in the universe, but in terms of yielding results that leave a lasting effect, you can measure how much someone has contributed to the human race.

I agree that you cannot say one person's life was more meaningful than another, but that doesn't mean you can't say one person had a larger lasting effect during their life time than another.

I don't label myself so I don't care what you call me.

So what if your achievements had a longer lasting effect after you're dead.
It's one of the ways humans try to be immortal by having their actions live beyond them but that too will come to an end.


We're motivated by the need to gain pleasure and avoid pain, contribution is driven by the former but you're fooling yourself.
You won't be around to enjoy it.

Is your self esteem so low to where you need others to acknowledge you after you're gone?

You're writing a gigantic mathematical irony here: "don't lose sight of what truly matters" Yet he objected to life as a vast plane of one's inner choices :sdo:

So basically, we're ****ed either way
Earth records show there hasn't a creature that has remained unchanged, even the ultimate survivors crocodilians and coelacanths have changed ever so slightly. So it's quote impossible for us to remain strictly like this while the environment is forcing "punctuated equilibrium"

Look no one should take blame for the entire humanity screwing up. If they don't want to they shouldn't, if you want to help don't do it because of a stupid guilt-trip, do it because that's what brings joy to you.
