To all dorks saying "Nihilism isn't about being depressed, it's about [text length of an average leftist meme]" I just ate a really good garlic bread and don't give a shit about what niche-ee had to say. All that time you spent typing out your dork 95 thesis on posting could have been used that to make some delicious garlic bread but you didn't

I would be a depressed nihilist if I were you, a person sans garlic bread

Coat whole peeled garlic with olive oil in an oven safe bowl or dish, roast it in the oven at °425 for like 20-30 minutes. Bam. Garlic confit and garlic infused olive oil. Confit Keeps in the fridge for a few weeks. Take some of your confit and mash it together with butter, some of the olive oil, and whatever seasonings you have. Honey or something spicy is a good twist. Spread on bread with cheese then throw it in the oven

existential nihilism doesn't require that there is no meaning, just that there is no inherent meaning. Meaning can still be created and received through recognition of others.

Those who stop at the breakdown of old morality and wallow in filth are nothinglords who missed the point of breaking down the old social constructs, that is, to build new better ones and even later break those down again and so on... That is what history is, that is what the dialectic is - the eternal process of change and exchange.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. It’s rather absurd that I get to live at all.

I feel like I understand the Buddha better as years go by. I want to enjoy this strange and mysterious opportunity to be without becoming too attached to all these temporary things, myself included. Indeed, my life today looks nothing like it did 10 years ago. I’m not sure I am the same person. In many ways, it’s like every day we die and become something new.

The meaning or lack thereof of life doesn't abrogate your responsibility in life: to change the world for the better. This could be as impactful as being the architect of a world-historic event and it could be as modest as being a good role model for kids who will grow up to not fuck up as much as you. But everyone has this responsibility, and this responsibility is completely orthogonal to whether life has meaning or not.

There's nothing more meaningless to question whether life has meaning or not.

Nihilism is just emo absurdism.

Too much thinking in this thread when obviously you should just flow like a river and smoke weed

I don't give a shit if God is dead, I want to know if God is giving head?

"What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest jerk off, and say to you, "This goon sesh as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it other than me sucking you off? but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and cumsplosion everything unutterably small or great in your Armenian conveyor belt with your bros will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence" ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: "You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine."

Yes, and that's WHY we dance

the wrong things turn to dust and the wrong things turn into the stones we build our world on
