If nothing matters, then clearly you can do whatever you want like say destroy your own culture and be a huge cuck, betraying your fellow countryman.

Nihilism is a funny position that is impossible to actually hold. I mean you can SAY you're a nihilist, but all that means is that your stated position is inconsistent with every single action you take. Even suicide is profoundly anti-nihilist, because it is seeking one state over another.

Nihilism is a strawman insult that some people are dumb enough to think constitutes an actual opinion.
>>
>>78108191
This. When the best case scenario is that you live until your body gives out on you and everything and everyone you ever knew or cared about is lost when your meaningless existence is wiped out, its hard to be motivated to put the effort into doing anything. It makes working towards goals feel meaningless. Trying to learn a new instrument? You could get hit by a truck tomorrow and all that time and effort would have been wasted. You could get cancer or any number of other illnesses and again its all wasted. No matter what, in 80 or so years it'll all be lost.

Nihilism is beginner tumblr-tier bullshit for kiddies.

Absurdism is for men.
>>
>>78111576
absurdism, existentialism, and nihilism are essentially the same. They agree that there is no meaning to life.

I like all three though

If you want purpose and think nothing in life matters, then get in shape and see if you can join a SOF unit. If you don't give a fuck about life, then you might as well be doing some high speed shit.

why would you be a nihilist?

you should want humanity to succeed and prosper, so millions of years in the future our descendants will develop the technology to bring everybody throughout history back to life in a perfect digital realm

The conscious in inseparable from the body, simply emulating a mind will not bring that person back to life, it'll just give you a program that can perfectly predict their actions.

I prefer Camus's absurdism to nihilism but its basically what I am. I find it to be freeing but totally understand where people are coming from who are afraid to a lack of meaning and afterlife. Afterlife is a nice carrot to chase after, but after my brother died it was easier for me to come to terms with.

>>78113960
> you should want humanity to succeed and prosper

Yes be a good goy and keep working hard for the good of humanity. and go to church every sunday and pray to a jew.

I shift back and forth. If anything I'm a pragmatic nihilist. I use my lack of caring and oddly productive priorities as fuel for my binges of knowledge acquisition and success. Taking larger risks has yielded larger outcomes for me, and only because there has always been an aspect of uncaring for morals or in material success or general life circumstances in the immediate sense.
/autistic rant
tl;dr: try it some time it could work for you

Because it's a nigger ideology.
>>
>>78108075
because materialism is false
therefore the soul exists and lives on
therefore our actions have eternal significance
actions which develop toward an end given to them by the Unmoved Mover

The example on the right isn't nihilism, it's absurdism.

Nihilism IS the thing on the left. I wish people would stop getting the two fucking mixed up.

nihilism is dumb, the only truth is hedonism.

Because Nihilism is a failure of perception. If you believe that nothing matters, it is because you are not paying attention and/or do not value other people sufficiently.

It DOES matter. That is the redpill.
