Whenever I talk about cosmic irrelevance, some people think I’m nihilistic and depressed. However, it has a totally opposite effect on me - the feeling of clarity and peace. It gives me an opportunity to focus on what I want to focus on and not what someone else. It also gives me a sense of wonder and allows me to appreciate the small things in life. I feel more humbled.

Your pee pee is cosmically irrelevant

I've never heard the term cosmic irrelevance/insignificance. When it comes to discussion of psychological conditions, like analysis of Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the conjecture and human need to classify and explain is revealed. Personally, I feel that to dismiss existential questions and mistake them as a result of emotional need is limited, and probably is projection.

(my 2 Sats)

it’s weird that idea has different effects on people. It fills me with dread. I like to think it’s important for humans to exist, and we’ll see our universal relevance sometime in the future
