I really feel like I arrived at my philosophical views of reality by use of logic and they're not especially pleasant views.

Reality doesn't carry any special meaning for humans. We arent basically good or evil; were just evolved beings with certain tendencies to which we assign morality based on social utility. There's no life after death because life isnt meaningfully distinct from non-life.

It's all pretty bleak. But, the weird thing is.

I'm happy?

Like, I just think my baseline

Deal is being

Upbeat

I think reason and happiness are just separate brain compartments. There are people who believe a benevolent god is hugging them their whole lives, but they're still miserable and there are total nihilists who just cant stop smiling

There's so much stuff that matters, but so little of it matters to my well-being!

You know what the real answer to camus question of suicide is?

Because I don't feel like it!

Youre like the raft of the medusa, but piloted by

Pippi longstocking

Wheeee!
