I guess that's what I mean when I say, I wish I was dumb so I could like the things everyone else likes

For me, it’s more like frustration and the absolute feeling of defeat for not being able to find an answer. But my own curiosity keeps me going, keeps me thinking.

For me, it’s the breakdown of ideology. Raised and schooled in Catholicism, when I hit my teenage years I started questioning all of it. Which in turn, led to a totally new version of myself. This version of myself wasn’t catholic, but did believe in something bigger and grander, I believed in an afterlife. Which kept me comfortable from ages 13-18. Now, however, I’ve had a complete almost rational feeling that the universe and everything within it, is entirely random, and that we serve no true purpose and all we do is add meaning to things that are meaningless. I feel like I’m growing, but also breaking. It’s a strange yet curious feeling. I want to explore myself and find my own meaning.

@@themartialartsapproach8786 I didn't mean that literally I was just quoting the movie lol, I also just mean from a philosophical perspective

This is a point that needs to be made more, I’ve been a nihilist and agnostic since I learned how to think for myself and I’m not inherently depressed or dysfunctional, I’m just as regular as any other person walking down the street, I just believe there is no greater purpose in life and we’re just here until we die.

Russell Cruz Luna Exactly. It doesn't have to be depressing. It's just a simple acceptance of how things are. Though, I think most of us are terrified of this when we first find out about death as children. Before we're indoctrinated into religion, our natural instinct is that there's a terrifying nothingness that awaits us in the end. But, like I said, we eventually accept it.

To me this sounds like a cope. I'm sorry. I just can't find myself happy or fulfilled or motivated or hopeful when I'm nihilist but on the other side I struggle with having faith and when I have it I feel amazing and look at everything through lens of purpose. I'm bad at making my own meaning. A lot of the times it's around vices that are not fulfilling at all. The ideas, goals and purposes in spiritual teachings to me are very fulfilling although can be extreme and so against my own nature. It seems like this part is in our genes. Throughout all ages it was part of our lives and first time now it isn't and we find ourselves in this material world counting only on that without any higher purpose. Like we are some gods but did we rly choose to live? Does Big Bang really answer your question or is it also a matter of belief? I think believing and especially committing to honest faith with real fruits of it that made a dent in reality (skip the many hypocrites) is something worth living for. The impact of it can change people lives forever too. I don't know guys. I'm skeptic on all fronts. Scientific answers don't satisfy me but also spiritual/religious don't fully but at least they give some hope and will to live. I'm in a bad state mentally now. Call me weak or whatever but that's how I think about those things now.

@@-lines-8256 The thing is that Nihilism also says that there are no objective truths. But it states this as a fact which they say is an objective truth. It also states that there is no meaning in life which is(if you are a nihilist) an objective truth.

Experiencing, has no start. We are told by those misinformed who were told by the like. In direct experience, you are seemless and unending. So why then, do we regard such dry knowledge as absolute. Creation by virtue of creator did not begin so will not end. Know yourself to know this.

You understand it much better than the makers of this video if you ask me.

Maybe not 'right', but there seems to be more and less optimal interpretations

@@Seeyeay A "meta" interpretation? For what purpose? There's a plurarility of purposes one can have in life, none is righter than the other. Of course, for some points of view some will be good, others don't, but that's just one point of view among many.

@Sameer Sohail Thank you. I don't understand why people either speak of existentialism or nihilism, but completely neglect speaking of absurdism, which is just as important.

exactly I was a "doomer" nihilist as a 15 yr old kid 10 years ago, and all the "feelings" based answers I got when I asked for purpose in life made my mentality worse, since they were either very hedonistic, religion based or even nationalism(we had a homeland war 91'-96') To this day I don't believe most of them knew what they were talking about either, they never tried to truly dig deep into it, only said what made them feel good. Only answer I remember that sounded valid to me was family/their kids but few years later after learning about self improvement, self growth and learning about myself and my potential, the meaningness of life gave me strength to never fear anything, the journey, hardships or the end of it all biggest problem with nihilism it's way too easy to end up in a gloom and doom mindset + being open about it depresses and repulses a lot of people

@@trinishanarain2101 I've been building a series of increasingly large particle accelerators to detect whether I'm absurdist or just absurd

Kurgezat... Optimistic nihilism

@@nihilisticboi3520 kurkegazt

Nah that's existential nihilism, meaning isn't tangeable nor something that should drive us. Instead, enjoy life. You'll be dead come a hundred years anyway.

I agree with you.

True liberation

i know im late and i only have a brief understanding of nihilism but its the thing that seems to fit my beliefs the most, its honestly so much more liberating knowing that life is meaningless, it means theres no pressure to be perfect all that matters is to live your life. In my opinion its best to live your life in a way you enjoy every moment of it while trying to be a good person to help others enjoy there lives too. I dont really understand why life needs to have a deeper meaning

Death is what gives life meaning. That's the reason why nihilists still feel unsettled because they know that one day they will die.

Yup, I’d say active nihlism would be preferable imo. Create your own story with the canvas you’re given

Also watch kurzgesagt's video on optimistic nihilism!

I wish some people in this thread understood that. Many of them fell into the trap that nihilism is cool or a really great excuse to be lazy and to not care, ultimately justifies their cowardice of the world and you can tell which ones have fallen into it because anger is usually their main tool in communication and they push their own beliefs of nihilism onto others while proclaiming they are the victim of having subjective views pushed onto them. It's a philosophy that changes men into children. Heroes into cowards. Humans into worms, however you wish to put it. If your own self isn't important enough to build upon, to improve, to grow, then that is the ultimate defeat, in my opinion. I'd rather go down fighting like a man than dying on my deathbed filled with regrets that I could've done more for myself and others had I just picked myself up off the depressing ground and found some fight in me, but it's too late, my eyes have closed and my life's energy snuffed; there's no going back, only forward with or without me.

@@thirdgen377 In my experience it's more like people opposed to nihilism *ASSUME* that others think it's an excuse to be lazy but I've actually seen Zero nihilists who think that way.

Live in fear or live wit love... Most people live in fear as its almost fuckin impossible to live wit love, especially in countries like america where people are forced to love money more than anything else since birth... And the love of money is the root of all evil... "But you jus said 'Live in fear or live wit love' so if most people love money, then theyre livin wit love right?".... No... Look at the richest people in the world... Do you think theyre very loving?... Are they loving people?... Ofc not... They dont live WIT love... They live IN fear... People who love money will do anything to keep it for themselves... Even if it means keepin it in the face of a dying child they could easily save wit their money... Love is wat we need to be talkin bout and philosophizing bout... Not where we came from and not why we came from there and not why we came at all... Not wat our purpose is and how how to find our purpose and not why we should care bout wat our purpose is... Not bout death, not bout god(s), not bout how to gain more money, not bout existence, not bout sentience or continuousness.... Love... Cause love is the universal language that has the power to bring humanity and nature into perfect peace and harmony wit each other and the world (which is the most perfect outcome for humanity and the world) .... If we use it properly... Which most dont cause they dont know how cause theyre too busy worryin bout bullshit like paper wit faces on it and metal wit faces on it...
