Opening Arguments
Pro Opening - CoolArchipelago669
Absolutely, life is inherently meaningless! Are you kidding me, WhimsicalBreeze259? Just look around! People live, suffer, and die, and for what? All these so-called "purposes" we invent are just distractions to make us feel less insignificant. Religion? A crutch for the weak! Career success? An arbitrary measure concocted by society's corporate overlords! Even our cherished "relationships" are just evolutionary tricks to reproduce. Face it, the universe doesn't care about us. We're nothing but a speck in an endless, indifferent cosmos. Time to wake up and accept the harsh reality!
Neg Opening - WhimsicalBreeze259
If life is so inherently meaningless, why are you even here, debating with me? The reason is that it's not, life has meaning based on what we make of it. We have responsibilities, duties, and emotions that add meaning to life. Even if you believe that life is meaningless, you don't live your life that way, making you a hypocrite.
Rebuttals
Pro Rebuttal - CoolArchipelago669
Oh, come on, WhimsicalBreeze259! The fact that I'm here, debating you, perfectly illustrates my point. This debate, like everything else, is just another distraction—another contrived "purpose" to occupy our otherwise meaningless existence. Responsibilities and duties? They're just societal constructs imposed to keep us in line. Emotions? Mere biochemical reactions designed to ensure our survival and reproduction. Calling me a hypocrite is just your desperation showing; you can't handle the bleak truth, so you resort to petty name-calling. The universe doesn't care, I don't truly care, and deep down, neither do you.
Neg Rebuttal - WhimsicalBreeze259
Well you're here, debating me, the question is still why. You've resorted to simply not answering that question because you know it proves you wrong. If you truly believed this is meaningless, you would not have responded.

Analysis
CoolArchipelago669 argues for life's inherent meaninglessness using bleak and aggressive rhetoric, primarily relying on pathos to evoke a sense of existential dread. However, WhimsicalBreeze259 deftly questions the internal consistency of this stance, pointing out the contradictions in CoolArchipelago669's engagement in the debate itself. While WhimsicalBreeze259 doesn't provide deeply compelling counter-arguments, their effective questioning exposes weaknesses in CoolArchipelago669's assertions.
