I thought it was funny

41 - ALL comments are pointless I don't know what you think we're accomplishing here.

Pendatik - what about all the "i like turtles" comments? I dare say those are worse than "lol" and "pwned" and "ydi" and "could have been worse".

60 - Ok some are funny and pertinent to the FML SO? The FML is just as meaningless it doesnt help anything. (No offense to FML because i love it). Ever hear of nihilism?

What you're referring to is local purpose and doesn't exist outside the minds of sentient beings. Yes we give purpose to EVERYTHING we do but they aren't all held in the same regard we arbitrily assign value to things JUST LIKE YOU DID TO HIS COMMENT... so I just took that to it's logical extreme METAPHYSICAL nilhism. When it comes down to it the universe is unimaginably old and unimaginably large it was here before us and will be here after (not to anthropomorphize but) it doesn't care that we exist or ever existed ALL we do is meaning less but that doesn't mean we shouldn't value it be cause WE give it value and outside of us there is none.

75 - And HOW in ANY sense of the word am I solipsistic? Nihilism =/= solipsism. And I have trouble thinking of anything else I said that would indicate that who knows maybe I really don't understand that word either.

Which is why I said I took it to a logical EXTREME to point out the hamartia (just wanted to use that word :p) of what you were saying. "local purpose" at least the way we're using it is something completely abstract and ACTUALLY doesn't exist otherwise. Solopsim on the other hand deals with a persons ability to asses through their sense the world around them it's already a very broad term and including things that are actually intangible utterly changes the word.
