Nihilism is the rejection of delusion, and delusion is fundamental to being human. Only a few sad rationalists will ever truly adopt it

Nihilism is a choice. You choose to have purpose in life.

it depends

We don't even understand reality yet. We can't say that the whole everything-is-meaningless shtick is correct because we can't even define what we actually are as existing sentient beings in the universe.

Not accepting the messiah, Jesus Christ is what killed Judaism

Nihilism is the result of a culture insulated with comfort and pleasure.

We evolved to live in a painful state, in one way or another, the majority of time. Hungry, hot/cold, diseased, thirsty, horny. Everything is a drive to keep alive and keep going for biological success.

As civilization blossomed, we developed ways to fulfill those needs better and easier. Industrialism brought nihilism because the majority of society could fulfill their material comforts with technology.

Now food is abundant, porn is everywhere, our health is closely monitored, our houses are climate controlled, and our emotions can easily checked by a doctor.

We did not evolve to be this comfortable. Comfort and pleasure eat away at the human need to fight for life. We feel that there is no reason to continue fighting, everything is satisfactory.

nice myth. progress is a lie. we're not as healthy or comfortable as you believe

Would it matter if it was?

>>876002
but nihilism is just another painful state
>>
>>876065
If you're doing it right, it's an indifferent state and a supplement to stoicism.

If pain is meaningless, why be pained over meaninglessness?

Nihilism is itself only a 'useful' lie. You can't actually know what it tries to explain.

This. Apes don't understand that nihilism is the result of placing value into empty spaces.

But to know where the empty spaces AREN'T, you have to be a philosopher. So it's understandable. Just not for them.
>>
>>875603

I don't think so.

From what I know, nihilism is a thought experiment made up by philosophers in order to understand life and be better people.

Then again, I think that was Nietzche who said that. He also said that we should create our own meaning in life if we could not find one.

Tl;dr, nihilism is a thought experiment that leads to leboufjustdoit.flv.

Right. Studies have shown that modern life is just a constant flood of dopamine. Remember that music used to be a rare treat, but now we can play it any time. Remember also that people used to start wars to get a small amount of sugar from the colonies, and most people couldn't even afford the sugar.

I'm not saying that we're happier in modern life, I'm saying we have more pleasure and comfort.
