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

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

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

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

      Isn’t that absurdism?

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

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

    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

  So choose absurdism. Is nihilism without the suicide.

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

      “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.

    What’s the difference between absurdism and positive nihilism?

    source

    • _wizard@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The difference is Camus.

  Optimistic nihilism!
