Ive always thought that of you are sincerely nihilist to be self consistent you should stfu about it. But no. Every nihilist in the history of ever has to make utterly meaningless word salads about it. Meaningless by their own philosophy that is. I accept that meaning isnt intrinsic but is something humans create. But i still want nihilists to stfu.

Everyone in this thread needs to read The Conspiracy Against The Human Race by John Ligotti.

NOW.

“This is the great lesson the depressive learns: Nothing in the world is inherently compelling. Whatever may be really “out there” cannot project itself as an affective experience. It is all a vacuous affair with only a chemical prestige. Nothing is either good or bad, desirable or undesirable, or anything else except that it is made so by laboratories inside us producing the emotions on which we live. And to live on our emotions is to live arbitrarily, inaccurately—imparting meaning to what has none of its own. Yet what other way is there to live? Without the ever-clanking machinery of emotion, everything would come to a standstill. There would be nothing to do, nowhere to go, nothing to be, and no one to know. The alternatives are clear: to live falsely as pawns of affect, or to live factually as depressives, or as individuals who know what is known to the depressive. How advantageous that we are not coerced into choosing one or the other, neither choice being excellent. One look at human existence is proof enough that our species will not be released from the stranglehold of emotionalism that anchors it to hallucinations. That may be no way to live, but to opt for depression would be to opt out of existence as we consciously know it.”

like every argument against nihilism, this makes the mistaken assumption that a world without some ~deeper meaning~ or ~ultimate truth~ to things must lead to sadbrains

I don't really think anything matters or has any meaning and everything is bullshit. Should I take the route of 'well, you only get one shot at life so try and make yourself as happy as you can' or should I just suicide?

ya but he's basically wrong because the nihilist still gets his panties in a twist about the contradiction; even nietzsche, the final word in nihilism, finally just imploded the brain that was obsessing over all these contradictory messages, and shot into the world as a body of impulses

for impulses, there is no contradiction; everything is immediately realized, as either won or lost; nothing is wrong or right, good or bad, meaningless or meaningful; but one force is more forceful than another, and every situation resolves
