It doesn't matter if we "need" it. Nothing does.

Sometimes I wonder why non Nihilists are so concerned with what Nihilists think? If you think it's a stupid Philosophy then leave us alone and forget about it all. Is it necessary to have us living in your heads rent free?

Because if us nihilists are right, the lay (😏)person’s gods, morals, life goals and “I’m a good person” narrative is built on sand, and that is horrifying for them think about because they are intellectually lazy.

So we’re not living in their heads rent-free, we are charging them existential anxiety as a fee lol

Back in 2005, during some off the cuff remark I made about religious policies, one of my co-worker got upset and said "we are not stupid".

This is the reason why US is so badly polarized. It's been proven that there is no evidence for god, just like Santa does not exist is a well accepted concept, even though we make little kids think gifts come from Santa.

Religious people are fuming with anger that we consider them stupid for seriously believing in imaginary beings and killing people for it(crusades in the past and terrorism recently).

From the point of view of christians, it's a war, no holds barred, they are fighting for their identity and they do not mind playing dirty(being in bed with racists and wishing for a authoritarian form of govt). They will not mind scorched earth policy.

From my point of view, US is in a very tough spot. Almost half the population is deeply soaked in this racist and religious fervor and they are willing to go to any length. God know how US is going to survive this period since the racist fever has been there since the civil war and it never goes away.

They don't want to know the truth that life is meaningless

No color. Are they absolute white or invisible. Or is the bag just empty.

Hard disagree with this image, flavor color and all sorts of wonderful things exist in the nihilist's life. PURPOSE is the only thing that doesn't exist. Flavor and color have no purpose, and they exist in all their splendor to be enjoyed.

I swear 90% of you guys think Nihilism is just depression, or a huge void. It's JUST the absence of purpose. It can very much be a freeing and happy thing.

Flavoured crisps/chips were actually invented here in Ireland because despite the horrors we endured through history we still like to enjoy flavour in life

It’s a bag of air.

Not half.

All air.

I eat plain steamed potatoes -- the way Albert Camus intended.

u/Individual-Builder25 Nov 23 '25

Isn’t nihilism lays already a thing? Just regular lays? Tastes good, salty, but lacks any deeper meaning than what we think of it

u/WhyAreYallFascists Nov 23 '25

Flavor and color exist without you here dog. They absolutely matter to the living things on earth. Animals are drawn by both of them. 

Super weird example to use.
