    Keeping your mindless body alive helps the economy just fine. What it doesn’t help is your loved ones or hungry children or the rainforest or whatever it is that you care about — which I’m now realizing is nothing. You care about nothing but your own self.

      Do explain how my wife and I not paying a small amount a month toward long-term care insurance will help save the rainforest. This should be interesting.

        This conversation has convinced me that you already have dementia. People like you are why this world is ending. You’re a selfish nihilist who loves no one and cares about nothing and can’t even articulate why he’s alive. Grotesque.

          Yes, I have dementia because you think my wife and I not spending about $1000 a year on long-term care insurance would make a major impact in the world.

            That wouldn’t be enough to cover care for dementia, meaning someone else will be footing that bill if you get sick. You’re deluded and narcissistic.

            Hey, you’re the mindless husk here. I don’t expect you to do anything purposeful. Morality is for losers amirite?

                It’s fine. I got my answer: you have no idea why you want to live, no value commitments of any kind, and apparently zero interest in anyone or anything but yourself.

                Thanks for the answer. I hoped for something less cynical, but the truth is what it is.

                  I told you exactly why I want to live: I enjoy life. The rest of that is just a lie.

                  Lying will also not get me to commit suicide.

                  Why are you so determined to get me to kill myself anyway? What did I do to you?
