Nah. he's not. He only makes everyone look smarter around here (to the outside world).

And he's certainly not worthwhile when it comes down to threads like these.

What about art? Do you pay for music, or is that product of universally "worthless" humans also worthless to you?Wink

Humans have added considerable beauty to the world, via art.

If 'god" were about to exterminate us all, I'd use art (and other things) as a reason not to. Stern%20Smile

If I felt as you claim to, I'd have to seriously consider suicide (please don't, though)!Ouch

I'd wager you won't always feel that way. I vividly remember feeling as you've stated, when in my teens/early 20s. Life can get better with maturity, finding real love, and working toward a meaningful vocation. Try to believe in yourself, and build a better future!

BTW, is that cheery, murderous fellow in your sig pic you? Remember that guy from the goth site, who'd posted pics of himself with weapons, then went on a high school shooting rampage? No one spoke up or found the pics unusual..... Confused


I've seriously considered suicide many, many times...LOL But I'll never do it so don't worry.

I do believe in myself, "I am god" as Mike(from Stranger In A Strange Land used to say... I feel like that most of the time. The most interesting people I know are on this forum - my peers are boring and cliched(I HATE teenagers), and in most people find shallowness and ignorance.

I agree that art is the best thing that came out of the human race.

No, that's not me in my sig. I'll have to wait another year or so for my hair to become that beautiful, it's only doen to my chin right now. It's Varg Vikernes(Burzum), creator of some of the most touching music I know, same guy as in my avvy. He's just screwing around with knives. Ironically, he did kill a man, but that incident was nothing special. Want me to change my sig? There are more appealing pics of him.Smile



He's nothing scary, on the contrary, the essence of coolness.Cool









The essence of coolness...Wacko

^Yeah, he doesn't feel too sorry about it, but then he feels it was provoked by Euronymous, which it kinda was...

Yeah, but on the other hand it's not bad, maybe he'll release a couple more yummy albums in the classic style unlike the last two synth-only albums(the only instrument he was allowed in prison...)

I quite got the impression it was about that sort of thing, not expressedly mentioned. He seemed to brush killing a person off far too lightly.

I assume that's what happens when you surround yourself with medieval cultural traits, such as honor and justified killing.

Do you pay for music, or is that product of universally "worthless" humans also worthless to you?WinkMusic and art in general is the most useless thing in the universe...it serves no other purpose than egotistical ones (for the creator) and purely impractical ones (for the listener or whatever)... it doesn't help in the preservation and subsistence of the species which is the utter goal of mankind... mankind has no other goal but to... keep on being... and art is useless, unlike most any other prefession or human activity... BUT... is that useless-ness that makes art beautiful.... because it's the one moment we don't act having just our tangible guture as species in mind... is the one time we truly create... the one time we are like semi-gods.....

Humans have added considerable beauty to the world, via art.Yes... we don't need it... we're just more complicated animals, but you're right, and thank heavens for that.

If 'god" were about to exterminate us all, I'd use art (and other things) as a reason not to. Stern%20SmileProbably that would be one of his reasons... He would say: "I giveth you hands and brains so you could make this world a better place, but instead, you wasted your time creating paintings and sounds.... Thy existence is not more a necessity..."

If I felt as you claim to, I'd have to seriously consider suicide (please don't, though)!Ouch
Yes, please...At least before hearing my words...Big%20smile

I'd wager you won't always feel that way. I vividly remember feeling as you've stated, when in my teens/early 20s. Life can get better with maturity, finding real love, and working toward a meaningful vocation. Try to believe in yourself, and build a better future!For sure, and we hope it works out that way... People that have too much time to think in useless things like me end up either writing new philosophy treatiesd or going completely insane...or bothConfused..... My God whay are we so complicated when all we want is to keep on living? I have to give it to the people that just...LIVE. People that don't want to either achieve inomrtality or create art or be rich or glory or nothing.. people that just...LIVE.

BTW, is that cheery, murderous fellow in your sig pic you? Remember that guy from the goth site, who'd posted pics of himself with weapons, then went on a high school shooting rampage? No one spoke up or found the pics unusual..... ConfusedOh my God... 1-800-FBI-DANGER.... quickly!!!      Big%20smile

Kinda funny that people are most likely to interpret the thread title as "how highly do you think of yourself?".
That aspect is probably the most worthless thing about you....or is it? Only by our own perceptions do we apprehend reality, so a thorough judgement of our own worth is an appraisal of existence in entirety.

So anyway, I think I'm pretty worthless but you'd have to ask everyone who's ever known me before you got any kind of accurate answer. Most likely they'd agree, but you never know.

I personally suspect that Peter is worth more than most of us, combined. Wink
 
Hey James. Miss you bro. Smile
 
I'll be meeting Peter.... and Jimmie G this summer. After a few pints none of us will be worth a healthy tip for the waitress. Wink
 
Worth = Happiness. If you ain't happy, or content, life sucks.
 
IMHO, at least. Confused

So worthless that I spend all my time floccinaucihilipilificating, just because it sounds cool. Others wise I'm worth just a tiny bi tmore than a drum machine, unless the drum machine is soloing for 18 minutes.

I picked the 2 cents option. I'm pretty worthless, unremarkable and trite, and I won't be changing the world.

I don't feel worthless, just confused.
