I'm sad. Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? What is the point of anything?

It's unfalsifiable.

I don't like how HN users downvote honest questions instead of engaging with it.

Left you an upvote because I'm interested in responses to this.

My parents are getting old (I see it when I look at them), and I feel like I'm running out of time to be financially successful so they can enjoy my success while we are all still alive. Yes, I know we can enjoy each other's company without much money, but it sucks seeing those you love struggling with something and being unable to help them financially.

Whats bothering me lately? Anxiety about my future. Not being where I want to be. Fearful that I might not get to where I want to be. But I take daily steps to ensure I come out alright since hope is not a strategy.

All I can do is be consistent and hopeful.

We don't care about these semantics. He's a trillionaire.

New comment by chistev in "Ask HN: Would you want to know when and how you die?"

chistev — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 08:05:40 +0000

I don't see how this would work. If I see that I would die at the age of, say, 75, does that mean living recklessly before then means I won't die? That it's my fate to die exactly at 75? That I can stop taking care of myself?

Being aware of that date would change behavior whether you want to or not, and would those actions of mine not have consequences?

But that's not a response to my question.

I agree with you, but what would be the argument against Athletes and someone like J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter author)?

I'll plug in mine as well.

My blog is for posting personal stories and opinions from the perspective of an African young man looking to escape his situation - or the matrix, as he calls it.

> Well, our planet has magnetosphere and it also had life for a long time already.

But life needed water as a requirement to arrive, right? So are you saying that there was a little bit of water for life to get started, before that same life caused the oxygenation event to create more water over millions of years?

Please explain, thank you.
