Which type of nihilist are you?
>>151748077I always buy two personal pizza, both for me
>>151748095Do you press them together to make a sandwich?
>>151748077rick doesnt cry at the face of death
>>151748113no, I'm not a subhuman
An absurdist, positive nihilists. Just the other day my wife and I were handling a delicate matter, and the mood was gloomy.And I told her "hey, you know what? What are we nihilists for if we're gonna take life this seriously?"And that actually lifted our spirits.If nothing ultimately matters, that also doesn't matter. Better to focus on the good, which also doesn't ultimately matter but at least it's good.
>>151748077Honestly, I'd probably be a lot happier if I was a nihilist.
>>151748077It doesn't matter what type.
I just have a porn addiction
>>151748077There is no greater meaning imposed on the world. There is no one who is going to judge us for the lives we lived. None of this will be on the test. There is no "Life: Part two" where things start counting and this is just the tutorial starting area. The only meaning that matters in this world is what we choose to put on it ourselves. And I'm okay with that. Let people figure out their own path towards spiritual fulfillment, whatever that means to them, and believe what they want to believe. As long as that doesn't involve telling anybody else what THEY have to believe, or taking away their freedom to choose. Killing people counts as taking away their freedom to choose. I want to life a comfortable life. I want to live happy and die well. And the best way for that to happen is that EVERYBODY gets to live comfortably, I'm not special so I shouldn't expect special privileges. So the better we can make life for everybody, the more likely that is to mean that it makes life better for me included. If this is the only life we get to have, why not make it a good one instead of a shitty one? You'll never hit a 100% success rate on that, utopias are a flawed concept, but any step in that direction is a good step and I can think of worse things than to leave the world better than we found it.
>>151748077I know God is real so I cant be one of those.Nobody is really, unless they are a psychopath and can easily ignore whats been written in us to be and want.People still behave morally even if its very often with corrupted morals no matter how they were raised.
>>151748077Pretty sure a positive nihilist.Sure life is meaningless but that means life can mean anything.There is no definitive point to it.So you can come up with anything.You create your own meaning in life.Endless Possibilitieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJjxKhjR9H4
>>151748077neither, nihilism is for retards

>>151748498Thought-terminating cliché: the philosophy.
>>151749004>Endless possibilitiesIt's actually one possibility which is that you're a self-deluding object moving through space and constantly distracting yourself to ward off death anxiety.
>>151749004>Sure life is meaningless but that means life can mean anything.That would mean that life CAN'T mean anything.
>>151748077Neither are nihilists. Pic related is a nihilist.
>>151748077not gonna lie if in the year of our lord 2025 you still look at rick and morty and think it's about nihilist and how nothing matters you may be missing the point a little at least nowdays I guessIt feels more like a tragedy story followed by trying to make life worth again at least that's how season 6 and foward felt when I watched it. idk everything feels more hopeful(?) lately is it just me?
>>151749531>Thought-terminating cliché
>>151749780>It is what it is>Life is what you make it>YOLO>Fuck it, I choose my definitionsIt means exactly what I think it means. Positive nihilism is a bumper sticker phrase of a philosophy.
>>151749828You don't know what "cliché" means, or what a thought terminating technique is, or what it is for.
>>151749879>If I make the statement a second time it will magically become true
>>151749901Ok, let's prove it then, point by point.What's a "cliche"?
>>151750042I'm not your dancing monkey, tittyboy.
>>151748077
>>151750059As I suspected, you don't know what cliché means, what thought stopping techniques are, or what they're for.

Life has meaning, I just feel as though it is humans who make it sometimes impossible to find or make.Also deism, god but with logic and stuff
>>151750346I offered >>151749901 a good faith, more than fair chance to test whether or not he knows what he's talking about.The reply was >>151750059

>>151748077Why would blowing up Earth Prime have multiversal consequences, but destroying the moon wouldn't?
Reminder that nihilist philosophers weren't just saying 'nothing matters', but rather 'meaning isn't given via something from outside of creation'. The idea being that things only have the value you give them, not any god or unsubstantiated superstition.It would've been interesting to see what that Owlman could've cared about. If he cared about eliminating humanity then presumably he thought there was something in existence that should be spared humanity. A more interesting Owlman than just being a more egotistic (stupid) Batman anyway, like we have seen before.
The desire for "meaning" is a side effect of our brains possessing the capability to use language to make one thing represent another. Humans are wired for meaning on a fundamental level because of those same language abilities.When you read my words just now you were able to understand them and relate them to ideas that form a coherent "message" in your "mind" that expresses "meaning".But what really happened on a physical base reality level? Your eyes saw a bunch of squiggles (letters) and translated those squiggles into meaningful messages based on past learning of language. But the words themselves do not inherently contain "meaning" you tack it on after the fact.
>>151753610Depends what continuity bullshit you're dealing with. Because Earth is apparently the source of all life in the multiverse as dictated by DC God according to White Lantern bullshit. So you literally would be unable to destroy Earth in the past no matter what because God wouldn't let you, but also if you did then nothing would exist anymore.Things get real convoluted if you dig into them is my point.
>>151748077lel Any more Frowning Friends crossover fanart? I love this shit.
>>151748077An active nihilist.I've given my own meaning to life and everything, chipping away at tasks I've assigned myself, awaiting nonexistence, for it to take me while I continue to work.
You're not owed anything.

>>151748832>As long as that doesn't involve telling anybody else what THEY have to believe, or taking away their freedom to choose.Except that this falls apart when applied to any facet of reality, because the dreams/wants/beliefs of an individual affect everything around them and often times conflict. That conflict inevitably results in someone losing the freedom to choose.Consider someone who has decided their meaning is to win an Oscar, or be the first man on Mars. Those are dreams and goals that they alone don't get to choose. Even something as simple as traveling is rarely done without reliance on others, which is ultimately throwing yourself at their mercy.What you describe is in itself an idealistic utopia, in that it doesn't consider the interactions of man in society but instead puts man in a vacuum in which his dreams and meaning interact with no one but himself.
