Nihilism Community

The Nihilism is strong these days

Giving up on Everything Completely feels like the only thing left

The Universe Has Terrible Manners

We talk about nature as though it has a personality. A cruel winter. An angry sea. A violent storm. Cancer attacks. Nature takes revenge. It makes sense. We understand the world through intention. If someone hurts you, you ask why. Then a tornado destroys a town and the same grammar stays with… read more

Existentialism Nihilism

I heard this quote in a show, it's very deep and utterly pessimistic. Though, I am not one to be dreary with thoughts. I do appreciate both sides of the spectrum as we would not have one without the other. Samuel Beckett1953, Waiting for Godot

Existential nihilism

Just got curious about it… Im already an agnostic… just wanted to know if there is any books that could enhance my knowledge on it….

On the eternal towards nihilism

Formal Deductive Argument

Premises 1: In absense of emotion or religious-considerations, the application of deductive reasoning to purpose leads to Existential Nihilism Premises 2: All sentient life experiences qualia of good and bad, contradicting Nihilism. Premises 3: Premises 1 is true for atheists and… read more

Attachment

Some day I feel so detached from the world and I get tempted to just go in that direction. The feeling very similar to nihilism, it's also borderline depression. But I come out of it and I back in the matrix 😔. The only thing that keeps me anchored is my path I guess.

Yes yes, thank you for the kind words

But the frustration remains true. That is simply how my life is. The world is no longer falling apart, but my frictions remain all too real. Now I am not saying I giving up. I made it this far on spite and adrenaline, and i am curious just how far I can go. I wish i could believe that it will get… read more

I asked a random question to one of the AI’s I’m working with, and it didn’t understand that I was talking about Tilapia the fish. So it asked me if I’m asking about tilapia being used in the literal sense of collapse , or metaphorical sense of system collaps. 😂this is the metaphorical reply! 😂

II. The Metaphorical Perspective: Collapse, steepness, contamination, and mountains Now the deeper layer you were gesturing toward. ⸻ 6. Why does everything feel like it’s collapsing so fast? Because modern systems have: • tight coupling (everything affects everything immediately) • feedback… read more

Dangling conversations! I make great music, and I make even better music when I'm with somebody that I care for and feel inspired, especially when they sing with me. It's sad that my late wife had to pass with a record deal up in the air and all kinds of possibilities, but I'm looking to the future

So what is it with this latest development, people match with you and they don't say a word. I literally had a girl match with me and say hi and I tried to engage her in some conversation. For about a half hour! I could read that she was reading my posts but nothing worked. Finally at the end I… (edited) read more

Hymn for the lost

I wear nihilism on my sleeve Thinking of the world to feed My mind free like the wind As time moves like sand The loneliness subsides As I think and write Each word calling the unseen light As my inner flame wills itself to fight

Just a collection of poem things

---Soldiers mind in time--- A man of contempt and disillusion, is this what one is meant to pursue? Grasping for meaning—not nihilism, but a chasm of deterministic pride, synchronicities throughout the stride. Now the soldier lays silent. The violence in pursuit? The adrenaline? Consequences… read more

Nihilism

Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. To your average edgelord, that’s depressing. To me, nihilism means this:

A better story than nihilism

Just wondering what people believe to be the counter to nihilism. That is to say, how does one combat a lack of meaning or purpose in the modern world? Why should one seek to awake in the morning? Appreciate any response, and feel free to offer any religious or psychological takes here as well. No… (edited) read more

Nihilism >> Shallow optimism ✅ (edited)

Nihilism

Positive nihilism! Weeeeè!

What is your philosophical school?

existentialism It is the belief that through a combination of consciousness, free will, and personal responsibility, one can construct one's own meaning within a world that is intrinsically meaningless. It is a philosophical movement and a historical term that refers to a period of French… read more

Optimistic Nihilism

3/8,meaning

Today, I want to talk about the source of the sense of meaning, which I read today comes from connection. Before this, my favorite statement was that the meaning of life is to find out the meaning of life itself, meaning that life is about the journey, not the destination. If one only looks at the… read more

If you believe that the universe/life has no inherent meaning, which of the following existential philosophies / approaches sits closest to you? Nihilism, existentialism or absurdism? 🫥

Nihilism prevails 😂

What do you guys think? Is nihilism a good or bad thing?

The view from Cupid's cloud

Limerence Romantic Nihilism Situationships The pursuit of love has never been more complex And many yearn for the "we met at a bar" era Comparatively I'm not really sure of that either Meet-cutes are rare Outside of the silver screen And we are so "Us and Them" Nowerdays I'm yet to believe… read more

Buddhism vs Buddha's actual teachings?

(🇹🇭 ภาษาไทยอยู่ด้านล่าง ⬇️) 🇺🇸 Actually, what Buddha (Siddhardha Gautama Buddha) taught was not superstitions; they were minimalistic philosophy with a dash of nihilism. Aniccan, Dukkhan, Anatta = Everything is impermanent and shall change or cease to exist eventually. Everything comes with… read more

Deep talk/conversations?

A lot of people say they hate smalltalk and deep talk seems to be the opposite for them, but when is a conversation deep? What do you skip when going straight into the deep talk? For me drowning in nihilism is deep. 2/5 ⭐️⭐️ Wouldn’t go for it again. 🤷‍♂️ (edited)

Absurdism

I have taken great comfort in this particular philosophy. Albert Camus's essay "Myth of Sisyphus" has really solidified my outlook on life. It's like he is giving you a lecture and is arguing with you to not commit suicide. He speaks of other philosophers and their ideas merits. But he also… read more

Absurdism or Nihilism?

I saw someone asked a question on the internet:

"I realised after getting a puppy that my love for him seems to deviate from the earthly love/hate. It is unreasonable and eternal. How can there be such kind of love? Beyond race, beyond time, beyond language. I love him just because he exists, and I rejoice upon I looking at him. " Haha. This is… read more

Pseudo-sublimation

Hm... How to frame this thought... A thing's being exhiliratingly fun or hilariously funny shouldn't necessarily be the determining factor in whether or not it's deemed acceptable to carte blanche do or say. (Where's that damn clown emoji...? 🤡☻ There we go.) Weaponized humor, e.g., like a… read more
