    and a larger focus on how it doesnt matter what he feels, because the multiverse

    an objectively stupid take. You're here and you matter for who and what you are. You could add in a million people just like you and each of them would matter. People are non-fungible

      People are non-fungible

      It bewilders me how many times I've had to argue something like that to pop nihilists of varying sorts.

          My take is that some people are so selfish and self absorbed and solipstistic that it feels like a threat if they aren't personally exceptional enough compared to other people that otherwise did nothing to harm or even hinder them.

        Isn't this like....a basic tenant of leftism? Fucking sucks that people don't understand this.

          It gets blurry sometimes, especially from reductionistic pop nihilist types that say stuff like the machines are at least as worthy as the mere human "meat puppets" being replaced or even destroyed by them.

          Disclaimer: I'm not saying machines doing work is bad. I'm saying that people that use sophistry to explain why people shouldn't even push back when capitalism fucks people over with machines that could have instead made their lives better are bad.

            So, I'm not smart enough to really understand what 'non-fungible' means, so I took "people are non-funglible" to basically more or less mean "people are good and I love them." That, to me, seems a basic tenant of leftism.

              What it means is that people shouldn't be seen as interchangeable, redundant, or disposable just because there are other people that can ostensibly take their place, or something "superior" to them for that matter.

              “people are good and I love them.”

              That probably is as far as you need to go. :avoheart:

        so who cares

        Roiland doesn't care and therefore the smartest and most powerful man in the universe doesn't care. No one should care! GET SCHWIFTY! :so-true:
