  If your nihilism doesn’t make you happy, you’re doing it wrong. The absence of meaning should be a liberating factor, not a limiting one. It’s actually dope as fuck that there’s no greater purpose to your life, you can never fail as a person when there’s no standard you feel you have to meet.

    Definitely. I think of it as “positive nihilism” or something like that.

    The fact that meaning and purpose, as we think of them, aren’t an inherent part of reality and are literally in our head… it’s liberating.

    basically life is minecraft: there’s no goal, we have to give ourselves reasons to live, and we can make those reasons precisely whatever the fuck we want, and that’s what makes it so fucking brilliant.

    That’s what I always try to explain but they pity me every time.

      It’s not pity. It’s projected depression.

  I’m not a nihilist defeatist. I’m a nihilist optimist.

    Agreed, I wouldn’t enjoy my life nearly as much if life had a “meaning”, or if humans were provably special or significant in the universe.

  I’m sad regardless of if things have meaning or not.

  Someone is learning to embrace hard determinism. You love to see it.

  It’s like the people who crow on about how we’re living in a simulation. Okay, so what? I still have to live my life as if I’m not living in a simulation. I still can see that what I do has effects that ripple out starting with those closest to me.

    Yeah, if you can’t get access to the source code, whether it’s a simulation or not doesn’t make a difference.

  I think the fucked up part is not the not having meaning, its the, if there is no meaning why the fuck do we still have a society based on perpetual human suffering for profit. Lets make something better.

  Things can still have meaning to you locally, and you can comprehend that ‘meaning’ at larger scales is reduced.

  This person sounds like they’re having a frantic existential panic attack.
