I apparently was too stupid to find the thing that teaches you how to craft in thebvery beginning, as well as the first boss, so I ended up wandering around grinding until I killed the second boss first. Idk man those games just aren’t for me
so, i don’t claim to understand much in the way of philosophy, but the uncaring nature of the universe is pretty scary to me. you’re right in that the universe itself doesn’t have volition but that’s exactly the point. the universe is uncaring because it’s incapable of it, and that’s what’s frightening. i also have a phobia of being caught in heavy machinery, which i would similarly describe as ‘uncaring’. it’ll rip your arms off or whatever because it doesn’t care nor know that a human is trapped inside.
Right. I don’t have much information on nihilism beyond “life is suffering”, and I’m not sure it applies to these Pop-Nihilists. But I’m sure they world argue that no external entity is needed to deem the universe as cruel. If I were to make a guess, I’d say they would likely refer to the laws of nature in place of the universe, deeming “nature” (if you will) as cruel, or at least uncaring. Tough, this would be far from the initial “life is suffering” claim, I’m sure it would entail some form of effect nature has on the human psyche (e.g. causality/determinism and with that certain unappealing emotions like hopelessness or frustration). If anyone knows more or would tend to disagree, please let me know :)
All in all good meme, but not very coherent critique, in my opinion
I’d say it’s more tragic than cruel. In my mind, cruelty requires conscious decision, something the universe is incapable of. The universe isn’t inflicting anything, it is simply happening.
The joke is Ohio sucks. It’s an economic pitfall where people outside of Ohio see it as cheap and affordable then they enter and realize their money is damn near worthless now. Add to that the drug use and the fact that damn near everyone here wants to leave because it’s a red state acting blue it’s pretty easy to joke about
I don't think they care, Russia is no longer communist.
To explain what I mean. I noticed that while term "tankies" is accepted as a term to refer to communists (particularly communists that would defend use of tanks on civilians), today's tankies are also defending Russia which isn't communist anymore (it's more fascist than anything). Even those on lemmygrad. It feels like it never was about communism, but it always was about totalitarianism and Soviets.
