The thing to know about nihilism is that it doesn't matter that it doesn't matter.

[–] Pirasp@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Also there being no meaning to it all leaves you free to make one up for yourself.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The universe doesn't care. But we do, and that's what's important. The meaning of existence is us

[–] Pirasp@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I'll make my own meaning, thanks. Yours isn't nearly interesting enough.

[–] MyFairJulia@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I‘ll make my own meaning of life. With blackjack and hookers. You know what? Forget the hookers!

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Isn’t that absurdism?

[–] Olmai@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Meaning is relative. My life doesn't matter, but it matters to me.

[–] evranch@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Nibbler: "What is one life, compared to the entire universe?"

Fry: "But it was my life!"

[–] _wizard@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

So choose absurdism. Is nihilism without the suicide.

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You don't have to kill yourself to be a nihilist, it just doesn't matter if you do.

[–] _wizard@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

"I'm a human being god damnit. My life has value."

... Until it doesn't. It obviously doesn't matter in the end, but I am here until that moment.

[–] Blyfh@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What's the difference between absurdism and positive nihilism?

[–] _wizard@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

The difference is Camus.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Optimistic nihilism!

"Nihilists. F*ck me. I mean say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism man, at least it’s an ethos."

[–] huginn@feddit.it 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If everyone were nihilists the world would be a better place.

If everyone were national socialists then humanity would be enslaved by a tiny group of autocrats.

If that's an ethos I don't want one.

It's a funny joke but it's worth pointing out why it's wrong.

There are too many people who don't get it.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah thank you for that
