We all deserve to thrive, not just survive. (Sometimes even less then that)
I find it freeing that life has no meaning. That means I don’t have to bother meeting arbitrary goals and deadlines.
Shit bro, there’s gotta be something.
Sure, everything we do is just keeping the chemical reactions going, but that doesn’t really explain why we are.
The fundamental bit that’s “us” isn’t needed, but it’s there for some reason.
We’d like to think so, however that thought itself might as well be explained by simple evolution. Someone believing in a meaningful existence has a higher chance of surviving long enough to procreate. A truly apathetic being wouldn’t mind dying.
Surviving is literally all it’s about. Anything more is what we do in the meantime.
Sorry to break it to you but is not even surviving. The one qualification to surviving is not to die and you will do that. This is existing and too many assholes get their kicks from making it suck.
More of wholesomememes than shitpost, but will allow it.
“Meaning” is only another story in your mind. A thought-concept.
“What’s wrong with right now if you don’t think about it?”
The thing to know about nihilism is that it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter.
Meaning is relative. My life doesn’t matter, but it matters to me.
Nibbler: “What is one life, compared to the entire universe?”
Fry: “But it was my life!”
Also there being no meaning to it all leaves you free to make one up for yourself.
The universe doesn’t care. But we do, and that’s what’s important. The meaning of existence is us
Nah, I’ll make my own meaning, thanks. Yours isn’t nearly interesting enough.
I‘ll make my own meaning of life. With blackjack and hookers. You know what? Forget the hookers!
Isn’t that absurdism?

Optimistic nihilism!
“Nihilists. F*ck me. I mean say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism man, at least it’s an ethos.”
If everyone were nihilists the world would be a better place.
If everyone were national socialists then humanity would be enslaved by a tiny group of autocrats.
If that’s an ethos I don’t want one.
It’s a funny joke but it’s worth pointing out why it’s wrong.
There are too many people who don’t get it.
Yeah thank you for that
So choose absurdism. Is nihilism without the suicide.
You don’t have to kill yourself to be a nihilist, it just doesn’t matter if you do.
“I’m a human being god damnit. My life has value.”
… Until it doesn’t. It obviously doesn’t matter in the end, but I am here until that moment.
What’s the difference between absurdism and positive nihilism?
