this is a short jump to ethical relativism. i guess women being brutalized in third world countries is cool if that's what they believe is right. if i have no obligation to the world then everything is "ok"

I think it’s a bit of a far leap of the imagination to go from “no obligation to be useful or interesting” to “radical subjectivism.”

None of us asked to be born. Of course neither did anyone else, so you don't want to be a burden on people, or let your own bullshit drag them down. But still, there ain't no grand plan on what your life ought to be.
