Thanos wanting the Infinity Gauntlet to actually literally just kill everyone is a lot less cool than Darkseid wanting the Anti-Life Equation (a simple logical statement that, to anyone who reads and understands it, reveals the "truth" that life isn't worth living)https://twitter.com/ElSandifer/status/1373373337636909059 …

This raises the very interesting question of what happens when someone who already believes living has no abstract worth does when confronted with the Equation. Like, I find it hard to find a statement that would compel me to say anything but "well FU, hah! I'm living anyway!"

Ergo Darkseid's inherently a tragic actor to me, because he wants something that simply isn't possible (since it requires a universality of motive that doesn't exist even in HUMANS)

I always saw the anti-life equation's effects as something akin to HGttG's Total Perspective Vortex. Of course you know you're not the center of the universe, or all that significant-- but the mechanism of consciousness requires just a bit of the illusion of solipsism to work.

In the same way, anti-life doesn't affect super-nihilism as much as the brutality of its revelation actually destroys a cornerstone of psychology as we know it, imo. Like the difference between horror and the horror you're supposed to feel when you meet an Elder Thing.

As someone who's been intellectually blackpilled for much of my life at this point I strongly believe there's a difference between *saying* you understand life is meaningless and actually genuinely *believing* it
