This is a quiet room… everyone must be pensive
Is human consciousness an accident? Are our lives as meaninglessand inconsequential as an ant’s?
So you think it’s by design? Whose?
Except most of us don’t. How many people alive 5000 years ago can you name?
You sound defensive. I thought this was a room to discuss philosophy?
It’s nihilism — a form of existential philosophy. And one I find very liberating.
You don’t understand existentialism I guess
That I live is a complete accident and nothing to do with anything I do except not choose to unalive myself. But I have no desire to do that. Just because I think life is meaningless fundamentally doesn’t mean I think it’s not enjoyable.
You’re confusing different forms of nihilism. There is no such thing as a “true nihilist”
And it is not inherently chaotic just because there is no god
We are all the same whether you believe in god or don’t. My life is governed by the same MEANINGLESS norms and procedures of our contemporary social life as yours
Nihilists believe that there is no capital-M MEANING to life.Life and human consciousness are accidents of evolutionary processes that could have just as easily resulted in some other creatures with self consciousness. This while we live, the only meaning is what meaning we choose to ascribe to things ourselves.
What is the point of hating someone’s hate? What does it achieve? And what is the logic of automatically hating something?
