These mfers are like glitches in reality. Even trying to wrap my head around wtf they are freaks me out. How the hell can there be a thing in this universe that has infinite density? That doesn't even make sense.

Ugh

    In the movie Sorry to Bother You, one of the early scenes is the main character Cassius ruefully wondering about his tiny existence in the cosmos. I related to that scene, because we humans do feel unfathomably small and powerless to the potential of the universe

    I don't get that why does the universe being big make you less significant. If you were twice as big would you be twice as significant

      I don't think people are inherently bad if they feel that way, though I certainly don't.

      I mean, it could be worse. It could be like Justin Roiland's "haha just joking... unless" blank check conclusion regarding multiverse theory: if multiverse, somehow individuals no longer matter therefore any amount of cruelty inflicted on other individuals has a philosophical blank check of justification. debatebro-l hypersus debatebro-r

        I don't get either school of thought because my life would be the same if every stat went dead tomorrow or an alternate universe version of me started killing people. I care about the things in my life specifically, not relative to some abstract "true meaning."

          my life would be the same

          That may be true for you and me, but some people really, really want to feel morally or philosophically justified to be assholes.
