I get why people like @Chromosome-X and @Outlander push back so hard. They talk about how sex creates life, mirrors the birth of stars, recharges dopamine, fixes your psyche, and keeps humanity going. To them that’s proof life has meaning. But I’m not arguing about whether those things feel good or work biologically. I’m asking something bigger does any of it actually carry real, objective meaning?
Biology shows why I crave sex or why suffering hits so deep when I don’t get it. Society explains why virgins get mocked and Chads get worshipped. But none of that answers why any of it should matter in the grand scheme. Pleasure is just brain chemicals. Creation is just more temporary stuff piling up before it all fades into nothing. There’s no cosmic rule saying any of this is inherently good.
That’s why my view doesn’t force me to rope. If nothing has built-in value, then ending it isn’t more “rational” than keeping going. The instinct to stay alive isn’t hope, it’s just the machine refusing to turn off. I’m not falling apart in despair. I’m just seeing things clearly, without the usual comforting stories about legacy or true love.
Sex-based value only exists because a conscious being is there to feel it. If consciousness is just a random in an indifferent universe, feeding its cravings doesn’t make the whole thing meaningful.
