Nothing truly matters unless you give a gently caress about it first, but everything is also terrible and awful, so in the end what can truly be all that bad..?
gently caress it dude, let's go bowling.

Pretty much.

In my 20's I began to Care a Great Deal. I knew I had to fix the world. I had to. That feeling went into my early 30's, with mounting frustration that I couldn't change the world. Eventually there were kids and a family and a house and I realized I lived a pretty ordinary life, and really only had any kind of control in my 2500 square feet on 1 acre, and I realized I was living a pretty great life, so gently caress everything else. Let it go to hell if it wants to, I can't stop it. I'll just pay my taxes and pretend it is getting spent wisely, and I'll keep giving 5% to charity and pretend the people in charge aren't making 6 figures.

It's just fine to be an ordinary person. You actually have no control over anything. Accept it and be happy. Some may call that nihilism, but I can it an honest reality.

The syllabus didnt have niezche or any nihilism. It was Plato Descartes Heidegger and something else i dont care or remember but the professor probably didn't have nihilism on his mind

not really

and even if he was so what there's still value in learning about nihilism even if you don't buy into it 100% (it's a stepping stone to existentialism for example)

I ate sardines on crackers an hour ago and I enjoyed them but this thread reminds me that I'm not enjoying them NOW. My snack was such a fleeting pleasure :(

But I have really good deli turkey in the fridge and soon I will have a sandwich so I have pleasure to look forward to? I am confused about my feelings I guess.

E- I can't look at anyone's profile or rap sheet right now for some reason and I would like to do that. Today is full of crushing blows.

It's "care fatigue" bro. Everyone want's you to make their problem your No.1 . Black lives matter, refugees, transgender bathrooms, some moral panic that springs up every 10 years. I'm all cared out. No more cares left. Everyone just complains about something

Why would you care about anything as long as you yourself aren't 100% self-actualized ?

That's interesting. Imagine if everyone is born with exactly 1000 cares, and they kick in when you're 18, and over time you just have fewer and fewer cares to give, until you hit middle age and just stop giving a poo poo, your capacity to care is spent, because nothing ever changes, anyway.

As a survivor of two major economic downturns I realize that the traditional markers for "making it" in adult hood no longer exist and there's very little to care about or strive for other than the avoidance of pain or a reduction in momentary comfort.
