Most people care way too much about nothing.

Just going to say it straight up. Most people lives are utterly meaningless - they drive their cars, eat their food, go to work, and only live because they're alive; it is sort of a joke. The universe is so vast and unexplored, and yet people are whining about how much taxes they have to pay, how much their gas money costs, or how much they have to pay for health insurance. Their petty issues are trivial in the grand scheme of things. Perhaps people will actually live in the future, but for now, most people might as well not even have been born, since they're about as useful as grass (actually, grass is more useful because cows eat it, and then people who are actually awake to the universe eat those cows). Ughhh... just thinking about how much of a waste most of humanity is...
I would liken the majority of humanity to cows; they stand around, eat, defaecate, fornicate, and die.

There's no discussion content
More discussion content than a lot of the threads on randomness.
I suppose that's another point, most people rather talk about nothing than talk about something like whether or not the general population is meaningful.

Religion FTW. Gives meaning to your life.

Lately, there's been no intelligent discussion content aside from the 'We should explore space' thread and the thread about the restrictive rights of the government.
And even then, all they talk about is religion.
Sadly, that's how most intelligent discussions end up.

I like your use of intelligent, not your use of sadly however.

Everyone's life is special in an immeasurable way to themself, from an outsider looking in, other people's lives are meaningless unless you are lucky and find another person whose life's value is also immeasurable to you
That is about all there is to say imo, anyway if you want you could always argue life is meaningless and the only reason to live is to be alive and continue your species, since I mean no other species cares if we die either

The way I see it is, if you want to debate about religion, debate about it in a religion thread, not a Constitution thread.
Ummm...I don't think there is a single post about religion in that entire thread.

We, as a race, are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I'm sure you'd love it if we all strived to better ourselves and explore how far our potential can take us. And yet, for all our knowledge, we're still just animals.
I'm of the belief that we still have some evolutionary steps to go before we can shake off some of the primal urges that keep us back. If we manage to survive long enough, that is.

I would. But you're right, we are mostly just animals at this point.

Most people are delusional. I bet cows don't think of themselves as unintelligent creatures, hell they probably don't (or can't) think of themselves at all.
I don't think myself above the cycle though - I'm caught up in a tide that I probably won't break free of. There are a few who really can look beyond the bull!@#$ and have the ability and motivation to reach into the unknown, but its depressing to see how few of those people there are.

Well the thought that your life is meaningless sounds like depression not insight, no healthy being can think itself useless, that defeats the purpose of being alive. If you want to stop thinking you are useless go do something and fix it
People have to have something to care about, whether it seems useless to you they have care about something. Imagine just never caring about anything in life, itd be the worst life ever.

That sounds more like a cow to me than anything else. Caring about nothing = Not caring about anything. Most cows live pretty happily.
I think what you mean to say is that caring about something, but knowing that you can't do anything about it.
I don't think that's me though, because if I ever get a shot to make a difference, I'd like to think that I'd try to rise up and take it.

Been there, philosophized that.
Also, I thought a similar thread of sorts regarding this was made?

I understand your view, knowing that the majority of our people care little for progress can be unsettling. After all, if only a handfull of individuals exist to push us forward, then the question is raised of how long before the masses pull us back into a more depraved state and, ultimately, our end.
Well, if you want to dwell on such things.

I think the notion that live needs meaning is much more depressing. Just being alive is enough for me, it's enough for most forms of life on this planet and it only becomes an issue when you can't stop asking yourself "why?".
