I get it. It's a good point, but I'm not worried that they don't commit suicide. I'm glad they don't.

    Well yeah haha. But I mean nihilism might be right; best not to think about it and just live in the moment. Queue exestentialism.

    Yeah, nihilism probably is right, but it's no fun. Our human imagination might be a genetically-rooted part of our instinct to survive. Instead of dwelling on nihilism and committing suicide, we instead make up all kinds of stories and delusions that make life entertaining and fun. I do it myself on a daily basis. Hell, the whole entertainment industry is mostly an anti-nihilistic, profit-making opiate of the masses.

        No, but I've read Robert Trivers', an evolutionary biologist, take on self-deception. He would agree with you.
