Discussion Why do people need to believe that humans are special?

[letied]

There is no sense in anything. That thought of "You are here, in the world, for something" is tremendously stupid.

Tell me more than "people need a way to cope"

It is true that Humans are Not Special. In my opinion WE are defective because WE have such a high degree of consciusness. But what Else ist there to do than find Something that is important to you and Pursue it. There is literally nothing Else to do beides die

As a collective you bet that we are special in the big picture of the universe. And nobody please bring up the size of the universe and our place in it as an argument because size does not make us less significant. Individually, it is a philosophically long argument but I would say most of us are not objectively special

Many people think and believe certain things to make themselves feel better and after all this existence is all we know. Even know life is completely meaningless, it is all we have. Many people are very self absorbed. Also many people live in denial of the true pointless nature of this life, it is a coping mechanism for them to believe that us humans are important.

The truth is, that we are nothing. We are only here because people decided to selfishly procreate. Life is a pointless experience that we go through for the sake of it. We will all die and be forgotten eventually.

People think human connection is sacred but they forget the devotion of a mama bear or a mama lioness.

people are desperate to believe that we're the most compassionate specie but the truth is we're the most cruel one.

litterally nothing about us is special. nothing. this is an incredibly liberating truth if one can accept it.

Well you May ne forgotten but your actions will ripple through time. Like the butterfly effect. Meaning WE are all connected so WE cant really die. Because influence everything Till the end of time. Like when a Loved one died but you still feel their presence when making a decision. It is Like that

Creationism? Ego? Life is extremely complex. Long ago one cell divided and basically everything you see is a direct result of that. Is humanity special? As an individual? I believe life is special but individually I am not. You have free will to make your own determination.

You're indeed in this world for something, to suffer! You know shit is fucked up when they think that suffering is beautiful and that it has meaning.
