Why is /lit/ a bunch of cowards who can't handle the horror of a purely nihilistic worldview?
>>25002015>Nothing matters>Except for this one thingIt's all so tiresome
Is it time to become Sellars pilled bros?
>>25002015Nihilism is for slaves who cannot see the beauty in evil

>>25002166my guy>The natural - "Evil has always had great effects in its favor. And nature is evil. Let us therefore be natural." That is the secret reasoning of those who have mastered the most spectacular effects, and they have all too often been considered great human beings.

>>25002265>The disenchantment of the world deserves to be celebrated as an achievement of intellectual maturity, not bewailed as a debilitating impoverishment. The second fundamental contention of this book is that nihilism is not, as Jacobi and so many other philosophers since have insisted, a pathological exacerbation of subjectivism, which annuls the world and reduces reality to a correlate of the absolute ego, but on the contrary, the unavoidable corollary of the realist conviction that there is a mind-independent reality, which, despite the presumptions of human narcissism, is indifferent to our existence and oblivious to the ‘values’ and ‘meanings’ which we would drape over it in order to make it more hospitable. Nature is not our or anyone’s ‘home’, nor a particularly beneficent progenitor. Philosophers would do well to desist from issuing any further injunctions about the need to re-establish the meaningfulness of existence, the purposefulness of life, or mend the shattered concord between man and nature. Philosophy should be more than a sop to the pathetic twinge of human self-esteem.>I consider myself a nihilist precisely to the extent that I refuse this Nietzschean solution and continue to believe in the difference between truth and falsity, reality and appearance. In other words, I am a nihilist precisely because I still believe in truth, unlike those whose triumph over nihilism is won at the cost of sacrificing truth. I think that it is possible to understand the meaninglessness of existence, and that this capacity to understand meaning as a regional or bounded phenomenon marks a fundamental progress in cognition
>>25002949>I'm a nihilist because I want objective truth to exist.>Objective truth not existing would make me feel bad, therefore it exists.Ok. That's retarded though.
>>25002015Because its gay
>>25002015It is horribly boring. I'll give you that.
