    I don't believe life has any inherent meaning or telos. We are thrown into the world and must fill it up with meaning.

    That said, if you're going to pick a side between life and death, you should probably root for the underdog

        I'm saying there's no inherent reason to be life affirming or not, except as part of our need to create meaning.

        But also I'd say that since life is probably a pretty transitory phenomenon contrasted with the eternity of the universe and entropy generally, I'd probably value it more regardless

    philosophy is bad if its becoming a crippling part of your life and mental health. fucking log off of thinking about that shit if "what if death good" is crossing your mind cuz of it.

    I've never felt like 'right' is the proper metric to judge stuff like this. Which philosophy is more useful to you?

        There's a difference between acceptance of death and indifference to life. And there's a difference between cherishing life and coveting it. Acceptance of both life and death are not mutually exclusive things.
