Aeva is a cutie I knew I was right about her!

I thought Saucy was a woman..

My friend rings me on Sundays so I can keep her awake while she drives the long distance home from her weekends in the city. We concluded I was making her more sleepy. I have to talk about her ex, get her anger going and heart racing .... very tedious for me.

Eve in 'killing Eve' comes to my mind

Aeva: how do you value your own life? Are you scared of dying?

Too lazy to do a vocaroo right now. But no, I've never been afraid of dying. I don't really understand why other people are either. The only way I can cope with living is knowing that I can end it any time I want. I've had an Advance Directive since I turned 18.

What about you?

Not something that overly bothers me. The way I see it, the moment I die nothing will matter, so no one will ever 'experience' death anyway.

The only thing that frustrates me is that there are things that will happen in the future that I'll not get to see.

The reason I asked the question was that you seem to have little regard for other people's lives, despite the fact you seem to get on with people and seem personable. I was wondering if your lack of concern was about other people or just lack of concern generally. It seems to be the latter.

That's the only thing that really makes me want to stick around, getting to see future technological advances.

You're totally right, I do tend to get on with people, but am quite apathetic and nihilistic in general. People get so stressed about things they have no control over. Seems like a waste of energy to me.

People get stressed over things that they can't control because they attempt to 'build' and become concerned that their efforts will be wasted by factors beyond their control.

Nihilism is a valid philosophy, but it seems at odds with what is generally considered healthy. Often, it could be considered an easy escape; a method to relinquish any personal responsibility to grow and be more.

You're young and reasonably healthy, albeit you hobble around. Do you embrace nihilism as a code worthy of attachment or has it become an easier path to follow?

Your early life seems to be a bag of shite, so no criticism if your staying home and playing computer games gives you a sense of safety and comfort, but are you doing it by choice or because you're too sh1t scared to try anything else?

I think I've always been a nihilist. I should probably specify, an existential nihilist. Being brought up atheist is probably a big part of it. The way I see it is if there's no inherent "point" to our existence, then my purpose in life is to enjoy my time here. It CAN be an easy way out, but just because each person is able to decide their own principles doesn't mean it will automatically be any easier than those set forth by a religion or government. You're right, it does take away some of the desire to "be more"...but I think plenty of people make themselves miserable trying to be deemed successful by their society, and I find that sad. I'd rather be less and be happy.

At this point, I mostly do it because my body and brain need the rest. I work 50+ hours a week (in a job where I have to be 100% on at all times), ride horses, take my dog on outings, go to lots of doctors appointments. I need some down time. When I was younger, I was constantly on the go, always going on some adventure with my friends, usually involving something illegal. There's nothing that I really want to try that I haven't already done many times over. I enjoy my little lazy bubble.

That isn't "less." That is the 'more' that most are trying to attain and failing.
The 'more' is independent of external approval.

Fair enough.
