Indifference is worse than cruelty and hate.
The universe is indifferent to our suffering, because it has no cognition.
Indifference still doesn’t feel like the right word, because there is a connotative implication that the universe is choosing indifference, or that it could be otherwise. It still seems to lean towards ascribing entity to the universe. In this context it is better, I think, to think of the universe as simply existence.
The universe is not a thing. It’s just a word we made up to describe all the things and the stuff in between. If your mum or your neighbor or even you yourself cares about you, that is the universe caring.
I mean, that’s something inside the universe caring.
Me when I don’t understand metaphor
Meh I can understand uncaring, since that’s just the lack of being caring. But yeah plenty of nihilists also slap on some attributes of active malice as well.
Existential dread can be scary even without a malicious universe.
the universe lacks both cognition and volition
slaps_car.jpg you can fit so many assertions in this baby
Bruh what if like, we are the universe thinking about itself
Stop personifying the universe, the universe doesn’t exist unless it is existence itself and existence itself is just to be. There are no particles arranged universe-wise. Use your existence to create meaning. It is up to you and of your creation, even if it was always going to be just as it will be.
This is why I say “life is fair, because it doesn’t care”.
My sibling in elementary particles, you address them via the very shit they make up when trying to admonish them about the very shit they make up, yet you expect those who are perhaps most affected by confirmation bias to give any credence to what you say. Memes be damned, take a stand.
