Yup, It's a sad life a-roni and that's why eat Kraft's cheesy macaronis!!

My god those commercials were effective.

Everything you're saying seems like a giant delusional state of denial if anything. If you're an atheist that pretty much means that everything is equal due to inevitable death. Your own personal human value systems and subjective meanings you're trying to reason with here are meaningless within themselves. Whether you're bouncing off the walls with pleasure and happiness or soaking in a pit of agony and depression, you are not superior to other human beings because humans are inferior to everything within themselves and the concept of what is superior is not limited to human beings. I'm an atheist and coming from a nihilistic world view when I say all of this. Inevitable death defeats pleasure.

The way I see it is I'm a human being and I got a bunch of other human beings just like me and we don't know **** and the cool thing about human beings is that we're not perfect and we're a bunch of beautiful little aimlessly wandering curious retards. To put all that weight upon trying to calculate the true objective meaning behind everything on this innocent little species would just be ignorant.

Wouldn't nihilism mean that the very concept of "superiority" was a meaningless concept invented by humans with no inherent value outside of each individual's personal beliefs and experiences? Which would of course make Matt's claims of superiority nonsensical and worthy only of derision and poo flinging.

Isn't that what I just said though
Because that's exactly what I believe

I assumed you were, but "inferior to everything within themselves" was kind of confusing.

The way humans perceive the whole concept of superiority would kinda mean that some less mortal things could be considered somewhat superior, although I don't believe that and am kind of apathetic towards the entirety of existence in a whole since I know it shouldn't be on my shoulders to try and comprehend above and beyond my simple human existence run on run on run on run on sentences yeahhhhhh I sometimes sleep naked with my guitar mounting myself on top of it like a blood thirsty gargoyle watching over its fragile virgin frets in the chilly winter night air like an immortal greek god suffocating in the stench of musty dust being plucked away to the borderline nostalgic notes of dust in the wind subtly chiming away at the tension of the quiet night ringing as the crackle of my badly aged electric fan chugs on and on like a train getting down with a jackhammer in a nasty deprived desert thunder storm cya m8 #rekt
water the plants
water the plants
woo

That felt appropriate in regards to the thread.
