Any ideas for meaningful ways to die?
| Death is absolutley pointless. Even if it is not the destruction of meaning itself, death, for obvious reasons, leaves you without ways of achieving that very same meaning.
| You could save someone else's life, contribute to science or just prove a point. I wouldn't call these completely meaningless.

Nigga, you will be dead. You won't be able to reap the fruits of your noble deeds — meaning. Besides, in your examples it is not the fact of death that is honourable or meaningful, but the courage to act in spite of its certainty.
| U can be cremated and become a tree. I think that's a thinv
| Frame some asshole for your murder.. or something
| There cant be anything meaningful in meaningless universe
And no, your own personal "meaning" isn't actuall meaning, just a nice cope for you
| There are none. Dying is a waste of everything.
| Volunteer for food deliveries these days lol
| Depends on how you would consider a meaningful life. You can always live your life and cherish it and try to spread love and positivity really getting the value out of your body to improve your life and others and helps spread comfyness. That could be one meaningful way to live life. Then live until your body gives out and you die as your heart fails after 80 good years of living and improving the lives of your fellow man.

I don't see the contradiction. Cope and meaning are synonyms. After all, one must imagine Sisyphus happy

lol no, you can't just make up shit, anon
Creating meaning is one of the ways to cope. Reality stays the same.
If you still can't see difference I can't help you.
| Suicide bombing seems like an option. It definately can send a message and stir some shit up. It would take a lot of careful consideration and planning to get the right reaction, but it is possible.
| >>642544 nah, mass shootings and suicide bombings happen every day. Each one as meaningless as the last.
| >>642541
>anon
We don't do 'anon' here.
Anyway, what is reality if not our preception of it? Moreover, meaning or purpose and reason or causality are completely different things. Life and subsequently reality or the other way around if you prefer it like that may have been created spontaneously, you know, like an accident, meaning that life indeed is devoided of any reason or cause for its existence, but not of purpose as it exists only if we do.
| >>642563
In other words, causality is there even if you are not aware of it, but a struggle to find meaning is possible only in self-aware and self-reflecting beings. Do you see animals besides humans that is trying to find their purpose in life? Me neither. Yet there is certainly a cause for their existence. Although, the cause may as well be a number of happy accidents.

>life is devoided of any reason or cause
I mean of any metaphysical or transcendent cause.
| I'd say the most meaningful death would be dying old after having achieved something big. Making the lives of the people around you better, leaving a legacy, even if it's a simple one, like nice kids that will forever remember your kindness, or having helped out people in their time of need. I don't think there really is a thing like a meaningful death. Rather a death followed by a meaningful life.

| Let's imagine life is meaningless, linear bullshit filled with dissapointment and humiliation. You're overcomplicating it.
| In that case the only meaningful way to die is the one that brings meaning to life. Which is borderline impossible. Even in best case scenario one single life does not account for much. Let alone one single death. You need to up your killcount if you want to achieve something in that field - end event then I fail to see how reducing the amount of life gives said life more meaning.

fucking hell I think I just remembered
still, i don't think killing holds any meaning. because that'd mean there is meaning in death, which is actually what i'm trying to disprove.
a meaningful life is where it's at, not because of the "reaping profits" mindset, but because it's the damned single and only timeframe you're given to physically do stuff.
if your death has no meaning, then surely, the deaths you cause hold as much : nothing.
| >>642630 I do agree with you out of context, but OP asked for a meaningful way to die, not live. And in>>642610 he established that in this mental exercise life is meaningless. Hence what I've said - the only meaningful death would be the one that does brings meaning and that is unlikely. With "upping your killcount" I'm just trying to find the answer.

| Shit, sorry. My first doublepost.
| Meaningful to who? For something to be meaningful, there must be someone it means something to.
What does 'mean' mean? I guess it means 'to be defined as' something, or to represent something else.
So, for your death to have meaning, it would need to signify something [more important than just a death] for somebody. For it to have a lot of meaning/be meaningful, it would need to signify something even more important or matter to more people.
| I suppose it should be something positive being meant according to context and connotation.
I guess upping your killcount might count, then, as it'd make more people relieved when you die. Then your death would mean less worry than before. That would be the TurboTax solution though.
For one's life to be meaningful, I think it would count for it to be meaningful to themselves. Death needs to affect someone else though, cause you're dead afterwards.

Ah yea that's right...
Then, I'd say a meaningful death must be to promote life of the younger others, and why not your children ?
Die and let live I guess.
But then if you suppose life is meaningless, even in death it means nothing.
Let's pretend I'm dead and my death had meaning, who would find that meaning ? Soulmate ? Children ? Family ? Friends ? Neighbors ? City ? State ? Planet Earth ?
Does it have to be meaningful to humanity, or just the ones who count ?
| Something good has to come out of this death. One's existance gaining value in the eyes of others.
