Was this sarcasm?
Nope. I am the alpha and the omega.
So you not only find suffering comical, you actively try to bring it on people?
You're in high school?
spent

What is that supposed to mean in the context of what you claimed previously?
If he's a junior, he's spent 2-3 years in high school. He still has to spend another 1-2. What he said was ambiguous. :idunno:
You miscomprehend the original statement: I say I would do what pleases me even if it resulted in suffering and destruction. However I will say that if it did please me to mete out pain that I would do so.
Spent, as in past tense. I haven't been in highschool since I was sixteen, also I am not a 'he'.
That other peoples' wants, hopes, desires, needs, etc. are of no consequence except insofar as I deign to pay heed to them.

You are like a honey bee who has forgotten her sisters, brothers and mother in the hive. Maybe your hive is sick, and that's why you feel so bad about it?

Good work. :thumb: Now it's time to ask yourself why you are standing on that pedestal expounding your own merely subjective values as if they have some kind of grand importance. :think: It's fascinating to see someone arrogantly disdain self-importance.
And it would be best to leave off the profanity, not even attention seekers are allowed to do that here.
I have no reply for gibberish.

Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Is that how you live your life? If not, why?
No, because people and circumstances vary. Some people are worthless and inconsequential; some people are incapable of treating me how I'd like to be treated and I have no desire to waste my time and energy on them.
Some people matter. Most don't. Like rain, too much will drown you but usually it's just an annoyance to deal with.
I generally try not to violently enrage people, but that's just prudence.

Are humans social creatures or not?
And to the extent that they are, what purpose does nihilism serve?
Humans are creatures, some of whom live in societies. I would note that this doesn't change anything, because 'society' can just as easily be a convenience like a well or fruit trees. Just because I live near fruit trees for the sake of their fruit doesn't mean I have any respect for them; they're just a means to an end.
Non sequitur, nihilism is a fact it's not 'for' anything any more than gravity is 'for' anything. It just happens to be true, make of it what you will.

It appears to me the wording of Matthew 7:12 reveals a principle that accommodates variance to some extent.
How do you determine a person is worthless and inconsequential?

What is the criteria you use to determine that?
If you put two seconds of thought into that you'll find that's an impossibly complex question to answer. You're basically asking 'how do you decide what you want to do'. With a brain, same as anyone else.

Impossibly complex? I think not. Give it try.
Use this example: You encounter a man laying in the gutter. He's been beaten badly and left for dead. What do you do? Why? How was the man laying in the gutter useful to you, or how was he not useful to you?
