An Existential Questionnaire | Philosophy ASMR

[@kikotanto2980]

12:50 well, I'd say my favourite toe(s) would be my two big toes, since they're the ones doing a lot of the work of holding me up, although it's quite a close race, because without the rest of my toes I'd still probably fall over every two steps, plus, my smallest toes are just kinda cute compared to the rest of the other ones, because the rest are just awkwardly long (I'm exaggerating just for comedic effect, I'm not actually insulting my own toes), another thing is that even though I say my favourite toes are my two big toes then i don't really show it, because lately they've been taking a beating because the little black rubber thingies on the rugby field I play on get into my shoes and burn the top layer of the skin on these two toes (mainly), so really, honestly, I couldn't say, it really is one of the toughest questions I've been ever asked.

Hey, I just checked out your Liquid Shaking video. It's not bad at all! I like the sounds a lot and you seem confident. One thing I noticed is the "popping" effect from your voice/breathing. You might want to consider a pop filter for your microphone. You're definitely the youngest ASMR creator I've seen. Honestly this might turn some people away, but I encourage you to keep going! Have fun. And ignore any trolls who try to mess with you.

[@theviewerofart]

It is my belief that life is meaningless, but rather than that being frightening or depressing I find it liberating. If life has no inherent meaning or purpose, if nothing has any inherent value, the the only value and purpose that remain are what we humans ascribe to things. This leaves us all the architects of our own reality, the masters of our own morality. What you think is important, is. And what you don't, isn't. And so we give our own lives meaning by doing the things we love, and needn't worry about our purpose ever again for it is intertwined with our very desires. Also this point of view means I get to be a lazy piece of shit so long as it pleases me to do so, which clearly makes it the superior philosophy.

[@siroctopus2652]

To be honest, the thought of not having an afterlife had always bothered me, especially if I died an early death, but then when I sort of began to believe that humanity's purpose in life was to make some form of difference, I realised that in my death, regardless of how small it would be, I would still be doing the same thing I lived for. And one of my teachers in high school said that we live to die, and for some people that is haunting, but it's the idea that we should work to have no regrets in death, to do all we have to do in life so we can move on.

[@yellow8958]

So like I’m gonna just spill all the beans here. I’m a very lonely person. I have nobody in my life that I feel comfortable around to even just tell them about my day. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I think I just annoy people, or don’t open up enough or something, so no one really stays in my life or has grown close. but I’ve been watching ASMR for 8 years and whenever I turn on one of ER’s videos I feel like I’m with a real friend… someone who’s always been there through all the years and who I feel comfortable with because I’ve learned his quirks and I know he’s not here to threaten me in anyway because he is genuinely a good person with a creative and intelligent mind like no other… thank you Rift for being my friend and I know you don’t know me but it’s always really comforting to have you around on those nights when I have nobody to turn to
