Purpose

[Decayism]

Ive started to shift my focus from looks to the meaning/purpose of life, theres so much more than just caring about how you look. And I get that you can have so much by being a chad but I see so many people who have such successful careers and look like your avg ltn, but forget that point I made even after that what about beyond the grave, i fear that I may have doubts about God. The grave ruins every shallow metric. Status dissolves. Beauty decays. And when you start asking that, doubt becomes unavoidable. If God is dead, then meaning is self constructed, temporary, subjective, ultimately erased. If God is real, then meaning is objective and Im accountable to something beyond preference. That tension is heavier than any blackpill hierarchy. Maybe the shift isnt losing interest in looks. Maybe its realizing that optimizing the exterior without confronting the existential is incomplete. Your frame doesnt solve the problem of being mortal. A high SMV doesnt solve the question of eternity.
And if im honest, what unsettles me is that people Ive talked to about this avoid it so easily, I dont know why they do neither do I know how they can.

Yeah, fair. Its consciousness slop. I just got bored and started questioning existence.

I just crave a conversation with somebody who thinks the same way I do about this stuff.

i think once you find a great woman that truly loves you, you can shift your focus from looks to meaning of life. for most of us that will never happen.

I donf think meaning should depend on finding a woman. If it does, thats still outsourcing purpose.

the meaning doesn’t come from a woman, but if you aren’t mostly focused on your looks, you won’t get a woman to love you.

The one thing I found very interesting in your post was the part where you mentioned that being a chad doesn't even matter if you are going to die one day anyway. THAT FACT I do think about; There is probably some name for it philisophically, but to me, the idea that nothing should matter BECAUSE you are going to die and not exist makes very sound sense

Thats basically existential nihilism. I get the logic, if death erases everything, why should anything matter? But I think the opposite can also make sense. The fact that time is limited might be the very reason things matter. But not knowing exactly what happens beyond the grave can change my perspective.

just dont talk to some1 dumber than you, genuinely get so disappointed when i talk to my friend abt this and he just doesnt get it and or doesnt care

right if your whole life purpose is for someone else what kind of “life” do you have

true. for me, i dont really act on exestential nihilism, i just acknowledge it exists and think about it sometimes. you could say that I larp it, bc if I actually was existentially nihilistic, than I would genuinely beleive nothing mattered and just kms. so yeah the opposite is true

Existential nihilism can be thought. It cant be fully embodied without self destruction.
