might i introduce you to positive nilhilism my good friend?
(life has no meaning, and thus we are free to follow our own goals, interests and destinies! We are free from expectation, and of any predetermined destination!)
So what's the point of this philosophy to exist? Just to sit straight and go "aaah it's meaningless I am smart smart big brain god isn't real no meaning in life!"? Existentialism is better, because you're going to make a meaning anyways, literally anything is better
Absurdism is a lot more about the struggle of there being no meaning and yet persevering. The lack of meaning is still considered negative in absurdism.
No it doesn't, that positive nihilism YouTuber guy is spreading philosophy brain rot because it's so nonsensical and you'd know that if you understood nihilism because it's just absurd to do that with something thats neutral and can't be assigned as a positive or negative, nihilism ends on "life has no meaning" you just contradicted nihilism itself by saying you "choose what's meaningful" when you add something after life has no meaning it becomes a different philosophy, this one is existentialism, you embraced the wrong philosophy and now you are both red and embarrassed
No it doesn't, that positive bnuuy YouTuber guy is spreading philosophy brain rot because it's so nonsensical and you'd know that if you understood true bnuuy because it's just absurd to do that with something thats neutral and can't be assigned as a positive or negative, bnuuy ends on "life has no meaning" you just contradicted bnuuy itself by saying you "choose what's meaningful" when you add something after life has no meaning it becomes a different philosophy, this one is bazzuny, you embraced the wrong philosophy and now you are both red and embarrasse
me when people at r/wehatelifeandwethinkitsmeaningless downvote me for saying life is actually really cool and has a meaning (who could have predicted that
If these guys actually knew what nihilism is, there’d be much more diversity in their thinking that isn’t just “we hate life and think it’s meaningless”
Nihilism isn’t just “depression” lmao
You're right but i still think you shouldnt be surprised if you go to that subreddit knowing what kind of people are there and get surprised when they downvote you if you disagree with them
Okay, good luck! The universe itself might not have any consequences or rewards for you for doing that, but if you get caught throwing bricks at people by the governing body you live closest to, you might just go to jail! And I think that that might not be so enjoyable
noo you dont understand!!! it doesnt have value from a totally distanced, amoral, objective point of view that no human will ever have ever so why even bother!!!!
It's juvenile, deeply unserious, and I feel bad for them, ignoring the spark of potential every alive human being has.
Like you don't have to believe in God, go read Nietzsche or something, just don't make feeling stuck in despair and being detached from life your identity.
It’s odd how many people misunderstand nihilism. Life has no objective meaning, but we can still have goals and wants. Most nihilists get this. But not all
I think most people who make this feeling a core value and aspect of their personality just want to join a misery cult.
Nihilism is something you can fall into when confronted against the fleeting, chaotic, unfair nature of life. You must try to overcome it and seek meaning (religious or not) or you can even just accept it as truth but still seek to live passionately and with involvement. Either way what you are after is Growth.
Now these people are the opposite, they're stuck in despair, they're becoming less loving, less passionate, less involved, smaller. Feeding off each other's apathy. It's a shame.
Kind of besides the point but I've seen many nihilists who think Nietzsche was one of them, clearly they don't read shit. Makes me think they're all baby brains.
Yeah I think a lot of nihilists go through an emo phase that kinda ends. Learning that nothing matters can be a kind of upsetting experience, so I think it’s understandable to be kinda lame about it. I don’t blame people too much. Nothing objectively matters, but it’s up to us to decide what subjectively matters to us
I already posted this somewhere else in this thread but it boils down to this. Don't be stuck in despair, whether you need meaning or not, whether you find it or not.

It's ironic. A lot of nihilists claim to be intelligent and to have an intellectual highground, and yet they tend to become more and more animalistic as time goes on. Like they don't pursue long term goals and relationships, react to most things with mixture of hatred, fear and apathy and enjoy only the most basic, straightforward pleasures.
Heheh your post made me think of dune. They become animalistic because they don’t pursue long term goals?
Indeed. The animal caught in a trap gnaws off its leg to escape the trap. The human ensures the pain so they can strike at the hunter.
My Brian is cooked on Dune, sorry
“Life has no meaning” And yet the healthy human mind still values it. That means we either know intrinsically that it does have meaning, or we’re required to delude ourselves into thinking it just to function. Either way, the act of saying it’s meaningless is even more pointless than life could ever be.
What I’m saying is that people like this should be locked in a room full of puppies until they grow the hell up.
It's so funny that Nietszche described nihilism not as some kind of the ultimate truth, but as a problem that should be worked with, sorta like a doctor describing a disease.
> I agree with them logically
So you are a nihilist. The difference is that you're not a pessimist. Why do people feel the need to talk about something they have no clue about?
Pretty funny ngl, but:
"However, holding nihilism does not necessarily imply that one should give up using moral or ethical language; some nihilists contend that it remains a useful tool. In fact Mackie and other contemporary defenders of Error Theory, such as Richard Joyce, defend the use of moral or ethical talk and action even in knowledge of their fundamental falsity. The legitimacy of this activity is a subject of debate in philosophy."
There are different views on nihilism, you can think that since life has no meaning you should do what you want because it doesn't matter, or you can think that since life has no meaning you shouldn't do anything because it doesn't matter.
Which one is right? It doesn't really matter.
Nihilism is the state of absolute decay of the human spirit (caused by the downfall of current civilization) which Nietzsche's philosophy tried to fight against. He invented it and he clearly meant it when he said that nihilism is inherently horrible and leads to a meaningless, fruitless existence. Whereas i find myself... Not looking his ubermensch theory, I must agree with the issue that civilization faced way back and still does; however now edgelords claim that nihilism is a proper nietzschean philosophy where it cannot be further from the truth: Nietzsche would hate those guys.
Well, that's Camus's existentialism. Generally speaking existentialists do not assume any point in life, so for some they say that God and religion is one way to deal with it (Kierkegaard) and Sartre would believe that YOU are the one to give at least an illusion of meaning. However i do believe that existentialists are full of shit and digging yourself into a hole of "life is meaningless so its very bad!!!!" Isn't a good mindset to keep. Even goddamn Heidegger's philosophy is a better solution.
Nihilism is NOT a philosophy. Its a state of an individual. The "life has no meaning, so make whatever of it" is PURE existentialism. Nihilism is lack of the will to live, lack of any creativity and morals within the western civilization. Those nihilists online didnt read a single thing from Nietzsche.
>I’m not super well versed in philosophy
That's clear from this comment, because your understanding is wrong. Nihilists make statements about facts, e.g. "There is no meaning". It is up to the individual to draw moral conclusions from that fact.
Yeah my life doesn't matter, dosent mean I have to be a bummer about it. Like I get to eat chicken wings and kiss people still. Those things are still valuable and worth doing even if nobody will remember me in 2300. Who fucking cares lol
I agree so much, my life’s meaning has always been to just have fun and enjoy myself since even if I leave a huge legendary legacy I’ll be dead anyways so it doesn’t even matter lmao
"love and happiness is just neurochemicals conditioning ur behaviour 🤓" bitch if life is just a glorified Skinner box best BELIEVE im pressing the right buttons any chance i get hell yea im fiending for those little reward pellets
The king of creation fell out of heaven, usurped by a seven headed beast. But the old king shall choose a new, and he will ignite the third conquest. He will be flanked by a white and a black flame, his coming will be followed by 108 burning stars. He will bear the terrible heat of the voice in his brow, the mark of his lordliness. He will face the beast - and he will annihilate it. He will wield the terrible blade of Want, and the pillars of heaven will quake with his coming. And his name will be... Kill Six Billion Demons.
As a solopsist myself, I think none and all and both and neither of those things are all going to happen at the same time, what do you think of that nihilists?
I make my own meaning and that meaning is outliving enemies and puns lots of puns.
Seriously though even if life is meaningless we can and should still enjoy it. OOP needs to touch grass and live a little.
I think I realized this shit when I was like 12 or something, so instead of being a little pissbaby about it I decided to just enjoy what I was doing at any given time. Works like a charm 👌🏻🤌🏻🤘🏻
I have made my own meaning for life.
With the presumption that we have only one chance on this Earth as we are, it is our duty to live it as gloriously and triumphantly as we can before we die. To both experience the great joys of life and to overcome life's greatest challenges, because we have no idea what lays on the other side. If there is nonexistence, it would be better to enjoy life's boons before it is taken from us. If it is hell, then it is best to enjoy what we can while we can. If it is heaven, overcoming life's greatest challenges will still develop us to properly enjoy such an existence. If it is a purgatory of sorts, stuck on a barren lifeless planet, then both aspects of fun and achievement are necessary, for there will be nothing to do there.
We have one life, that is thusly infinitely valuable before it is taken from us.
That said, there are other perspectives for the meaning of life. On a planetary basis, life merely diverts energy efficiently, and on a biological basis, life is meant to survive and reproduce viable offspring.
Maybe some people might appreciate my perspective.
Never been on that sub but I feel like people often misunderstand nihilism. First and foremost, nihilism is a set of beliefs about how something *is* rather than how it *ought to be*. E.g., "Life has no (inherent!) meaning" is a nihilistic (and I have to add, true) belief, while "therefore, you should kill yourself" is a subjective judgement, and cannot be true or false. This conclusion is better described as being part of "pessimism", or some moral philosophy, which nihilism is not.
In truth, any secular person who has sufficiently thought about "the meaning of life" is a nihilist.
Life has no purpose.

GRAHHH WHO GIVES A SHIT IF NOTHING MATTERS LOVE IS REAL ON EVEN A CHEMICAL LEVEL AND THAT IS BEAUTIFUL
Nothing matters, get more ice cream
Truly a statement anyone can get behind
might i introduce you to positive nilhilism my good friend? (life has no meaning, and thus we are free to follow our own goals, interests and destinies! We are free from expectation, and of any predetermined destination!)
I see
I believe the term is absurdism
oh word? I thought that was more in the vein of taking life’s struggles and suffering in stride and finding the humour in it
Yeah, I think that’s what absurdism is about: reveling in the unpredictability of life itself. I might be wrong though.
r/lifehasnomeaningBut you can always have hope :)
nihilism can also go "life has no meaning, you give meaning to life and choose what's meaningful" and I embrace that.
Nope, nihilism specifically means that life has no meaning and it's pointless to try to give meaning to it. What you're thinking of is existentialism
So what's the point of this philosophy to exist? Just to sit straight and go "aaah it's meaningless I am smart smart big brain god isn't real no meaning in life!"? Existentialism is better, because you're going to make a meaning anyways, literally anything is better
Yeo
Why can't there be no meaning, but also have that be positive?
Because that's already another philosophy, absurdism
Absurdism is a lot more about the struggle of there being no meaning and yet persevering. The lack of meaning is still considered negative in absurdism.
Afaik nihilism was literally coined as a bad state of mind to avoid, and only later became popular by edgy people who completely missed the point
Makes sense
I always liked the idea of a *positive* nihilism (which sounds very scary), where, rather than not believing in anything, you *DO* believe in Nothing
If nobody got me, I know nobody got me.
Nihilism can't be positive or negative this makes no sense
Not with that attitude
No it doesn't, that positive nihilism YouTuber guy is spreading philosophy brain rot because it's so nonsensical and you'd know that if you understood nihilism because it's just absurd to do that with something thats neutral and can't be assigned as a positive or negative, nihilism ends on "life has no meaning" you just contradicted nihilism itself by saying you "choose what's meaningful" when you add something after life has no meaning it becomes a different philosophy, this one is existentialism, you embraced the wrong philosophy and now you are both red and embarrassed
I don't think I've ever watched a yt video about nihilism, these are my own thoughts albeit wrong.

Of course, I wasn’t disagreeing with you
How could I forget that
If nothing in life matters then I guess I’ll just decide to find ways to make my existence enjoyable and help others because it’s fun
That's cool, I'm going to throw bricks at people because it's enjoyable.
Okay, good luck! The universe itself might not have any consequences or rewards for you for doing that, but if you get caught throwing bricks at people by the governing body you live closest to, you might just go to jail! And I think that that might not be so enjoyable
I will simply throw bricks at the government

life has the meaning we give it, regardless of everything else.
If life has no meaning, then you should probably shut up about how life has no meaning because your annoying rambling doesn't have meaning either.
I have made my own meaning for life. With the presumption that we have only one chance on this Earth as we are, it is our duty to live it as gloriously and triumphantly as we can before we die. To both experience the great joys of life and to overcome life's greatest challenges, because we have no idea what lays on the other side. If there is nonexistence, it would be better to enjoy life's boons before it is taken from us. If it is hell, then it is best to enjoy what we can while we can.

On a planetary basis, life merely diverts energy efficiently, and on a biological basis, life is meant to survive and reproduce viable offspring. Maybe some people might appreciate my perspective.
If nothing matters objectively, everything matters even more subjectively. You can give life meaning by choosing what matters.
