"There is no God, so the universe has no meaning."
Meaning can't only be given by a creator.
Imagine there would be a creator and he said "The meaning of life is to survive and reproduce":
- There's no difference between this and if you live your life according to that meaning, except in one case a creator gave it to you and in the other case you chose it by yourself.
- Many living beings would still be against this meaning and would want do something else, which would lead them to create a meaning for themselves.
The meaning of life is whatever you want it to be.
"We're all gonna die, everything what we do doesn't matter at the end"
First of all, the first part is not sure. Scientists are working on anti-aging/longevity technology, just so you know. But of course, it's very likely that we will all die and never come back again.
That still doesn't mean your existence is worthless. Because: You lived. The moments you existed were real, and they will be real forever. The universe may exist forever or not, but while it was there, there was a time you were there and experienced all the things you did. This will stay forever. Everything that happened will stay forever in the chronology of the universe.
So making the best of your time here is not a cope. You should strive to live a life which will make you feel happy and fulfilled when you are 80 and look back at your life, aka the time you spent as a conscious being in the universe and experienced life.
Incel spirituality:
The universe has no inherent meaning, it's just there and it's indiffirent to everything. Everything we do means nothing. And at the end we'll all die and will be forgotten, so why even care? Everything will be gone someday, just LDAR.
Chad spirituality:
The universe has no inherent meaning, that means we all can choose our meaning by ourselves! We are in control of our life! And someday, our life will end, that means we have only one chance to experience everything there is in life. Another reason to make the best of the winderful gift of life and be happy with no regrets at the end!
