philosophy is my single favorite field ever invented.
I fucking love it so much. Some fuckhead somewhere was like “wait, why do things mean things, and what does meaning mean?” and now we have fucking nihilism. Truly an incredible field of scientific discovery.
Too bad it peaked 2000 years ago.
I know it’s kind of a meme, but Diogenes was really onto something. Don’t keep what you do not need, how can someone be respected as a person if they depend on servants, a wealthy ruler is no different from a slave once they’ve died, etc.
it’ll peak once we figure out how the universe was created, and how it relates to the rest of human existence.

You’re thinking on epistemology, not nihilism.
