A Question For Nihilists
    #18264628 -

If nothing matters why can't I kill my neighbor's baby for food? I'm hungry and need a meal.

Who has the right to put me in jail for trying to survive? Nothing matters. Therefore, you can't make an argument for right and wrong. It's survival of the fittest, my killing is justifiable.

Then putting you in jail just on a whim would also be justifiable. If nothing matters, why bother giving you a reason when we chuck you in prison? If we just don't like you, boom --> prison

For what reason would you throw me in prison or eat me? For the fact that you don't like me? Well, why don't you like me? Because I killed a child? What is there to not like about killing a child for food? Are you asserting that human life matters? If you are then you aren't a true nihilist.

you can create morals out of nihilists values. what is the difference between "life is meaningless so why should i bother killing children" and "killing children is a sin so you shouldn't do it"? behaviorally they both have the same outcome. this is why imo meaninglessness is not meaningless. the abyss of meaninglessness reflects your values. it isn't a gap where values disintegrate. in many ways it directs your life.

? your not making sense. Just because you are a nihilist doesn't mean that everyone else is.

There is no absolute "right" or "wrong" in the universe. There is only cause and effect. Some effects we deem unfavorable, and therefor we label them as "inconvienient" or "unfortunate" or "bad" or "wrong". The cause- well, we do the same. Coincidences that are favorable to our situation however, we label a "miracle" or "good". In the end, there is no innate "good" or "bad", only events and circumstances we consider these things to be.

You, as well as all other life on Earth are simply a result of many little causes and effects. Hundreds of billions of them, and then continue to happen every day, everything around you and you yourself are hundred's of billions of simultaneous chemical and physical reactions. They are not good, nor are they bad, they simply happen because we have innate forces and materials with specific characteristics in our universe.

From an evolutionary standpoint- your only purpose is to survive, and reproduce. Because you are concious however, you have the ability to give yourself whatever purpose you decide to. That is what's so wonderfully beautiful about being human.

We are a social species, we evolved in groups. We have innate drives to help one another, not harm. We are concious. We have mirror neruons in our brain. We understand how other's are feeling based on their situation because we relate ourselves to them, and think about how we would feel if we were in the situation.

Because of this, we do not murder the neighbors child for food when other types of food are in abundance. This would be a "negative" or "bad" thing because it would reduce our overall ability to survive and reproduce.

You obvious understand little about human psychology, sociology, biology, or evolution. It appears you understand even less about Nihilism.

Am I who you say I am? To you I'm nothing more than a robot. Don't smuggle morality in the back door. Face it, without a higher intelligence we wouldn't even be here. The fawn who hears my words survives, but the heedless are served on a silver platter.

For Nihilists, sure, go ahead.

However, you will find out quickly the rest of the world doesn't agree with Nihilist ideologies and will have you dead for it.

No problem for a Nihilist though, I mean who cares, life doesn't matter, right?

Pretty simple 'paradox' there  :shrug:

Why would a 'true' nihilist bother asking a question or moving? If we're going to make nihilism some kind of absolute, the nihilist should lay where they are.
But that's not nihilism.


First one - :ohyeah:
