I prefer to occupy myself with things I enjoy. I dont care if they are meaningful or not.
I you studied philosophy, you would know nothing has intrinsic value anyway

The only thing nihilism ever did for me is cause me to drink more. Like bad drinking. Blackout kinda drunk.
I think nihilism IS the trap, personally. Horses for courses, of course.

Has Peterson ever mentioned Daniel Goleman’s work on emotional intelligence? It seems like even he would benefit from it...

So I just went through all five stages of grief when I realized what had happened here. Not one single person got the joke. I have a personal philosophy (no pun intended) of never letting an opportunity go to waste. So, how could I have made that more obvious?
I put giant purple lines on there to highlight the relevant areas that I thought pertained you the discussion. Would arrows have helped? Maybe a giant block of text with some witty pun? I guess I could have put the winky face emoji on there. I thought the “less is more” approach would have been more impactful. I suppose there’s a limit to that.
Were you guys trying to help me figure out how to read a graph? I thought I would have gotten a little more credit than that. I must not have been making a very good impression lately. I thought that was so obvious.

And you! You gotta jump straight to short bus. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.00 it is straight to the fucking short bus. That’s a little harsh isn’t it? Are there any other possible explanations for interpreting the chart in the diametrically opposite direction?
Does it have to go straight to short bus? I guess that is consistent with hamlens law. Now you have me double checking every fucking word because you put me on the short bus because of one chart.

And you know what the best part is? I was supporting your position. I posted a chart bragging about philosophy. Of all of the people here, with all of the diversity of opinions and positions, it was you, who I agreed with that did this to me. I just can’t believe it. It is beyond the pale of what I would have ever expected.

I don't hold anyone in special regard.
I don't care if you agree with me, I'm not a tribalist, I don't know you. I am not on your "team" because our opinions aligned
The only person I hold in special regards is koods and thats only because I think he might actually be suffering some kind of psychosis
I'm not here to gang up with people who support my opinions
You could be a horrible person for all I know and agreeing with me and thinking that will curry favor is a misguided belief
You're already over-triggered so I figured I'd lay it out for you since you have made the decision to feel offended
Et tu, Brute? Give me a break

There is no such thing as over triggered.
We haven’t even reached 9000 yet.

Perhaps nihilism truly is the only way. We’re all going to die after all. None of us ever chose to be here. Perish I’ve finally stared too long into the abyss, and now the abyss has stared back into me...

Sorry, side topic here. Considering the topic of nihilism, if you haven’t seen the rock and morty’s wise crack episode I highly recommend it. It is absolutely hilarious. Well, in my opinion it’s hilarious, I understand there are differences in opinion of what is considered funny around here. In my opinion it is well worth the watch. Great philosophy in it. On if the few videos that I rewatched.

This is nihilism:
Mine was no uncommon experience. I had read too much positive science and lived too much positive life. In the eagerness of youth I had made the ancient mistake of pursuing Truth too relentlessly. I had torn her veils from her, and the sight was too terrible for me to stand. In brief, I lost my fine faiths in pretty well everything except humanity, and the humanity I retained faith in was a very stark humanity indeed. This long sickness of pessimism is too well known to most of us to be detailed here. Let it suffice to state that I had it very bad. I meditated suicide coolly, as a Greek philosopher might. My regret was that there were too many dependent directly upon me for food and shelter for me to quit living. --Jack London, John Barleycorn
I dunno. I've been stuck in it a few years now, and I just don't think there's any how that it is the way forward.

If you want to see nihilism you gotta see tantrikas bunny drowning meme. That thing will make you cry. It’s very visceral.

No I don’t think so either. It certainly isn’t useful for anything. Perhaps one day we will all die and it is all pointless. That just means we need to take even more joy in all of the small satisfactions we have available to us at the moment.
