Absurdism is a rejection of nihilism that yet maintains that there is no true meaning. You live your life in a personal rebellion against a fate you know you cannot overcome.

Hedonism is the embrace of pleasure and basic experience.

Nihilism is retarded.

>>25119405
NEETism is best.

>>25119501
Incorrect. Absurdism is the belief that nothing matters and that therefore all your actions are meaningless which implies that nothing matters so if you believed your actions to be meaningful your existence would have purpose, but it cannot since existence is meaningless. Nihilism wraps most of these existential beliefs together, but on its own is edgy and stupid. I personally enjoy absurdism, not for its circular logic but because most of the time to live life without meaning is more fun than doing it with meaning. Absurdism does not create from depression, hell it might even be a cause, but it basically removes purpose from being depressed, so why not do something else instead.

Where did this meme come from and why do people keep using it?
It's on par with posting fedora.
>>
>>25119631
It's not a meme. Nihilism lacks substance and explanation. Rejection isn't good enough, and nihilists don't ask the right questions. It's not a bad place to start, but getting stuck there is pointless.
>>
>>25119522
Wouldn't that just be Hedonism?

>>25119655
That doesn't mean it's edgy.
>nihilists don't ask the right questions.
What are the right questions anon?
I don't think nihilists ask any questions.
They observe and then draw the conclusion.
>>
>>25119705
I don't know what the right questions are. It's a good question though. Most of my questions are answered by other questions. I think making predictions is a better way to look at things than to observe.
>>
Purpose is not a subjective concept.
Subjective meaning is inherently invalid.

Hedonism is just the belief that pleasure is the highest good. Mill was a hedonist. (Philosophical) hedonism isn't Caligula, any more than (philosophical) materialism means you love consumer shit
>>
Metaphysical nihilism doesn't seem to make any sense at all.
Seems more like paranoia and insanity.

Epistemological nihilism and Existential nihilism both sound spot on.
They probably won't help anyone get by in the real world though.

Mereological nihilism - I don't understand this one at all.
Sounds pretty stupid.

What kind of an idiot thinks that pleasure isn't the highest good?

Hedonism is the master race.

But there is a trick: you need to KNOW that you are only pleasuring yourself BY YOUR CHOICE, and not by an animal instinct.

And that is a big difference. You see, normies in general are hedonist, but they do that without thinking.

Just do whatever makes you happy, moral and ethics are just spooks senpai

Absurdism and Nihilism are to different outlooks on the same reality. That the Universe and the greater implications of its sterile and ambivalent nature in terms scale towards planetary life. Hedonism is and awareness yet minimization of this awareness Via constant stimuli. Hedonism seeks to dwell less on the nuances and explore-able complexities of this unanswered understood condition and thereby divert cognitive capabilities on the attainment of the satiation of new and desired experiences.

THEY'RE ALL RETARDED AND SERVE NO PURPOSE

IF YOU WANT YOUR SANITY AND A CHANCE TO BE SAVED FROM THE MODERN WORLD DO NOT WILLFULLY POISON YOUR MIND I REPEAT DO NOT READ ANY OF THIS SHIT

But yeah I'm not you. If the idea of eventually imploding into your inner void is attractive to you then go for it.

Nihilism is the rejection of literally anything that isnt material, so traditions, social, human constructs of ANY kind are now meaningless

Hedonism is the philosophy that pleasure is above everything

I'm not sure about absurdism

They're all shit and for the shit-brained.
>>
>>25119927
So you just roll through life not questioning anything and going along trying to make the best of it?

Sounds like hedonism desu
>>
>>25119405

and here's something i wrote:

Why does it matter if you're a nihilist?

You effectively remove all roots of transcendentality and higher spirit, having no possibility of ever accessing the full potential of your mind and soul.

Another consequence of nihilism on the masses is that non-nihilistic elites, having their whole brain and also keeping their roots, can effectively demoralize and put the masses in an apathetic state, because having no notion of objective morals, they are now virtually capable of anything.
>>
>>25119952

it's all as toxic as the others. dont even think about them and dont risk your sanity going in college debates arguing with nihilists and those retards. what you can do though is buy a firearm and kill them.
>>
>>25119954

and lets not forget the facts that nihilists reject traditions and everything.

you'll end up being human cattle and being easy to move around.

>>25119927

Those are not even nihilists. Most normies reject traditions, but then take some stupid shit like equality or justice as a goal, which is just other belief. True nihilism is not even inherently against tradition. You can see tradition as constructed and relative but still acknowledge its merit for society. I'm not beliving in god but I think religion is a usefull mean to control society.
>>
>>25120066

most normies are nihilistic even if they dont think about it.

and garbage like stirner dont believe in traditions. just le me and my le possession im sadcumming

I don't know about those fancy names but
>Accept that life has no meaning
>Accept that consciousness isn't real and your death is no different than the destruction of a complex toy.
>Make your own goals in spite of life having no meaning because fuck you
>Don't think any further about this, ignore any holes in your logic lest you be stuck in philosophical thinking forever.

Effectively rid me of my fear of death and insignificance. I'm very content with my life and can now focus on things that actually has an impact on the world.

It is. If there is no meaning, you are free to decide it for yourself. The fact is traditions are men made and fluent, which is proven with them varying across globe. At end they are just tools to rule over sheep like yourself. I am not against traditions, I am all for using them for my benefit.

>he thinks he is adult
your only argument for traditions is >muh feels and >muh degeneracy, which don't make god real nor traditions good, it just mean both are useful tools

Nothing, that's why hedonism is kinda dumb
People don't feel pleasure over the same things and it can be a double edged sword. Would it be right to allow someone to mutilate themselves even if it made them happy?

This, you can be a nihilist and an absurdist at the same time. Edgy nihilists and edgy atheists are both mudflinging memes spread around by /pol/ christtards. There is nothing edgy about challegning the status quo when need be.
