Read everything you said lol. Oh right, you said nothing, made no points, and made no attempt to engage what the other person was saying.

You simply reply nuh uh, to the points that there is no such thing as need, that there’s no such thing as an imperative, that there’s no such thing as purpose, etc that the other user wrote.

I’m not sure I put all statements they said, feel free to go back and read them again.

I ask that you engage with this topic you’ve chosen to respond to, and to do so with some relevance.

I understand the topic is of some distaste to you, but a thing’s correctness and our enjoyment of its implications are two different things.

Do you honestly think that's intelligent, I point out it's egotistical to believe we "need" to live (when record level of species are going extinct as we speak, even) and you tell me to go kill myself?

Also, where did you get the idea that I "believe in nothingness"? If you mean nihilism, nihilism is stupid.

Believing in "the unimportantness of the human existence" is right for a very simple reason: "Importance" is a myth. We are no more "important" than the T-Rex or the dodo or some genesplicing-technologically created animal in the future.

EDIT: Also, living a happy life is irrelevant to the conversation in general and specifically it's irrelevant to "finding a point in it", you're confusing the myth of "purpose' with sense of contentment or sense of accomplishment etc.
