LinksLiege 02/05/18 10:13:22 PM #10:	Nihilism is only the rejection of the idea that our existence has an inherent, objective purpose or significance. Where someone's mind goes after that is down to the individual. We aren't all like your coworker. In terms of "not getting it," all the things you cite as reasons for life to have meaning are purely subjective. That's the kind of nihilist I am - there's no objective meaning, but that leaves me free to decide that meaning for myself. --- This is LinksLiege's signature.

Forlorn_Ass 02/05/18 10:14:58 PM #13:	TC there is one thing youre not getting. Nihilism doesnt necessarily result in a bleak outlook on life. In fact, it is usually quite the opposite. Instead of saying, nothing matters so Ill lay in bed all day, a nihilist would have the outlook, there is no objective value to anything so Ill just have fun in this life. So on the contrary, nihilism can be not as daunting as it may seem. --- Her cheeks wobble around like water balloons on a trampoline. <cite>Forlorn_Ass posted [p:895542032] in I don't ge...

That's the kind of nihilist I am - there's no objective meaning, but that leaves me free to decide that meaning for myself. Once you reintroduce meaning, it's no longer nihilism. "Yeah I'm a nihilist, but I'm not one of those nihilists." In other words, you aren't a nihilist. Not sure why you'd want anyone to think you were either. Inherent meaning and personal meaning are different. <cite>TheGrindery posted [p:895795575] in I don't ge...
