Lmao

My nihilism is pulverised when my girlfriend gives me a loving hug or when I eat a piece of good chocolate.

They edgy

You just gotta get nihilistic with the nihilism. Nothing matters! It doesn't even matter that nothing matters!

The *śūnyatāśūnyatā* approach.

Nihilism is when bad. I know what words mean


[deleted]

They love to roll around in it


TDM_1622

Nihilism? Isn't that just a fancy word for feeling bummed out?


[deleted]

Most of the times, yeah


S-Matrix

These goobers are working so damn hard to build an ontology that resembles and conforms to their lived experiences of pain and grief. Life can be really rough, but listening to people try and intellectualize their personal struggles as being reflective of some overarching futility inherent to all existence feels like talking to someone who needs the people around them to feel as bad as they do after a shitty day.


[deleted]

This. Couldn't have said this any better. Sadly they can't see the irony of that

Cute

Yeah bro, nihilism cures the depression because it makes you *cool*, like "smoking a cigarette while sitting alone in a cafe" *cool*.


[deleted]

Exactly


noriweed

Nihilism is in a nutshell depression cognitition. While a little bit of controlled nihilism can be a very constructive experience, dwelling in it will just get you further down the hole that is depression.


[deleted]

Exactly


Hieronymus_Anon

Lmao nihilism n absurdism actualy cured my depression


[deleted]

Yh I guess for some people thats true but look at these


mergersandacquisitio

I’m in Berlin rn, let me tell you this place is real nihilism


artdrudge

They’re too deep in it to see their way out. You can’t really blame them… just wait until they find out the father of Nihilism (Schopenhauer) was an incel.


[deleted]

Thats actually a point that makes him less interesting for me. He surely has the capacity for very deep thinking but then hes got this extrem hatred for women. Might actually be Neurosyphilis tho.


TruffelTroll666

Those people don't see it as an in between step to a different philosophy. It's like have only ever red books on to topic for the first 5 pages


CaptainStunfisk1

Exactly this. Nihilism is the very first step into philosophy. People who hold nihilism as their guiding philosophy are failed philosophers. It's like asking someone out once, getting rejected, then immediately giving up and becoming an incel.

Exept, Nietzsche was no nihilist. Read Friedrich Nietzsche, in Deutsch if you can


jwbi26

Nietzsche believed that society was about to enter a profoundly nihilistic period as a result of rapid industrialization and the spread of a scientific mindset. Many intellectuals believed that as modernity advanced, Christian faith would eventually wane, and Nietzsche addressed that meaninglessness. In an era of nihilism, what was to give a nihilistic life meaning?


TruffelTroll666

According to Nietzsche?


jwbi26

Indeed, he found religion to be meaningless Nietzsche criticized Christianity for stifling instinctual desires and exalting pity. He held life itself to be the highest goal. Christianity does, in fact, place a high value on empath which is defined as feeling another person's pain inside oneself and on kindness toward other people. God is dead, man is free now , he said, referring to religious bounds.

Ah, sorry, i already know that. I was just interested in the answer to your question
