Pondering why I have no real drive to comment on any social political issues as I lean more and more towards the idea that NOTHING really matters. What is the point of life and everything that we humans do? What’s the end goal? The speaker expresses their belief that nothing beyond the individual matters and finds excitement in this idea. They argue that concepts like good and bad, right and wrong, and meaning are subjective and arbitrary, having no universal significance. They suggest that humans are the creators of meaning and that other animals and civilizations might not have meaning in the same way. The speaker acknowledges that certain events may personally affect individuals and cause emotional responses, but beyond that, they believe that nothing truly matters. They state that they are not inclined to engage in discussions about news events or controversial topics because they see them as ultimately insignificant. However, they find value in defining their own meaning and priorities, emphasizing the importance of individual experiences and personal connections. The speaker concludes that nothing ultimately matters, and they embrace this idea, finding freedom in the wide range of philosophical and ethical possibilities. They acknowledge the existence of man-made laws and scientific laws, but question their significance in the grand scheme of things. Despite this perspective, they express a sense of optimism and acceptance, believing that everything will be okay, regardless of the outcome. The speaker identifies themselves as Jeffery Scott Mitchell.
