Serious "There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide."

[Johnny-come-never]

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest [...] comes afterwards.

It doesn’t answer the philosophical question of why anything exists at all.

That isn't a philosophical question, it's a scientific one.

Science can never answer that question lol.

Presumably. Suicide with hospitalization is weak though.

#182818080Monday, February 01, 2016 1:15 AM CST Ah, very classic philosophical question.Well, the essential aspect of the premise that "life" itself does not have any sort of systematic purpose. All "grander schemes of things" are fabricated to provide satisfaction to individuals that cannot recognize that the value of their actions is purely subjective and overall, insignificant.This is actually quite good, because it guarantees that we do not need to live within a specific boundary of behavior. Rather, we can devise our own social-constructs and engage in behavior as we please. "Crime" is nothing more than actions that are perceived negatively by those with differing viewpoints.Fulfill your hedonistic desires as necessary.
