I like to call this the “Real job fallacy” That thing that people do, usually to artists, where they go “Art’s not a REAL job, go get a REAL job you stupid artist! Why I should I pay for your art? It’s not like art’s a REAL job, it’s doesn’t have any value like STEM fields do. It’s not like art keeps people alive or feeds them or builds houses or anything, it’s just a bunch of preety pictures that don’t do nothing.”
Yeah, shut the fuck up and sit down. I would love to hear the argument about how anything YOU do in your life matters any more than that artist. I would love to hear this. Because newsflash, it doesn’t. No one is going to give a shit about anything you’ve ever done right now in a good billion years or so. What, do you think there’s be history book filled with the glory of how you worked in a office a billion years ago and made some money at it? You really think people are gonna give a shit? Now this is regardless of whether or not things like reincarnation or afterlives or whatever are real or not. It’s the same thing either way. Either you’re here for some worthless little blip of time and then dissapear and nothing you did here mattered or you’re gonna be around for FUCKING EVER in which case even you will probably not give a shit about what you did several hundred trillion years ago let alone anyone else.
People only give a shit about things that are relevant to them personally and for the most part don’t really care that at one time things were different. Something wiped out the dinosaurs, don’t know what, happened something like 65 million years ago or so, but I don’t fucking care because nothing about that has any relevance to my day to day life. Oh sure it was probably world changing, man if it hadn’t happened who KNOWS what life would be like now? Certainly not me since it’s not that way and I’ve never known any other way than this so I couldn’t care less. Its the same for you and whatever little time ripples you’re gonna send out. Sure maybe you end up doing something world changing and for awhile it’ll be really nifty and people everywhere will be like “wow, wasn’t it just so nifty that he did that? We’re so lucky to be living in this nifty period where nifty things are happening!” and then in a billion years whater you did will have become so commonplace people won’t even realize that there was a time when things were different. And no one will care either. Well, maybe a few people will care, there’s likely always going to be history buffs, maybe one of thm will write an interactive holo-brain chip simulation explosion about the 15 niftiest things in history and yours will be number seven and it’ll have been tied with number six because both of them kinda happened aruond the same time but they totally couldn’t compare to number five because number five was nifty on a whole other level. A whole other plane of niftiness that nothing beneath it could ever hope to reach and that’s why it’s number five in the list of 15 mosrt nifty things in history.
Everyone’s life is objectively pointless and so is everything they do in it. That’s why I decided the only thing worth doing is whatever the fuck I wanted because fuck you I’m gonna die anyways and I don’t have time for your boring ass real job fake job bullshit.
