I’m not a nihilist defeatist. I’m a nihilist optimist.
Agreed, I wouldn’t enjoy my life nearly as much if life had a “meaning”, or if humans were provably special or significant in the universe.
Nothing matters 🙁

Nothing matters 😃
To meeeeeee.
Any way the wind blows…
I’m sad regardless of if things have meaning or not.
Que sera sera.
Casually causal.
Casual causality.
I am in love with this person’s energy
If your nihilism doesn’t make you happy, you’re doing it wrong. The absence of meaning should be a liberating factor, not a limiting one. It’s actually dope as fuck that there’s no greater purpose to your life, you can never fail as a person when there’s no standard you feel you have to meet.
basically life is minecraft: there’s no goal, we have to give ourselves reasons to live, and we can make those reasons precisely whatever the fuck we want, and that’s what makes it so fucking brilliant.
Definitely. I think of it as “positive nihilism” or something like that.
The fact that meaning and purpose, as we think of them, aren’t an inherent part of reality and are literally in our head… it’s liberating.
That’s what I always try to explain but they pity me every time.
It’s not pity. It’s projected depression.
“The big picture is made up of brush strokes”, absolutely love this. Gotta try to remember it.
This improved my impression of the person after a bunch of blah.
I think the fucked up part is not the not having meaning, its the, if there is no meaning why the fuck do we still have a society based on perpetual human suffering for profit. Lets make something better.
