How do I stop being a nihilist? How do I convince myself to pursue something (e.g. reading, learning about the world, developing mastery in a skill) when I know deep inside that it's all ultimately pointless?

when you can´t run a bussiness anymore you need to declare bankrupcy, it´s the same

imagine if you were born as anything but a human and how horrible it would be

Just go and do it you pansy. The "it's all ultimately pointless" shit is a thin veil over "I don't think I can do these things". Drop that, nut up, quit being a spineless bitch, and go do stuff. It is 100% that simple.

It is not possible to think about existential dread continuously for an extended period of time. The mind has an irresistible tendency to wander. A limitless wellspring of motivating impetus issues from the depths of the psyche. Nihilism is a linguistic construction whose power does not extend beyond the language centers of the brain. That is to say, nihilism is merely a communication problem. You are unable to explain the reasons for your actions, but that does not mean you are incapable of acting.

I will build an A.I. to torture you for all eternity if you do nothing to stop me.

How is that for motivation.

>>3092329

you're a nihilist because you find that nothing has meaning.

you should give a long, careful thought to why you're even capable of understanding why, or why you can conceive the idea of a meaning to anything in the first place.

did you just invent that?

If you need a point to do something you want to, need to, or enjoy, then you live a sad life.
Just do what makes you happy because it makes you happy.

First of all there isn't anything intrinsically wrong with that
Secondly I mostly mean find your own point to life, not rely on the words of others who are just as lost in the dark as you.

Life doesn't follow market economics just because you only get one doesn't mean its worth more
>>
>>3092329

There's no way out, you can try to trick yourself into becoming a Godfag or something but really once you go nihilist, there's no way back. On the plus side, it gets easier and easier to live with as you age, and realize that while your life may have no cosmic significance, it still matters to YOU.

You're version of nihilistic angst sounds shit, the version where you can enjoy things but live in constant fear of dying randomly at any time is the best one

Animals are slaves.

Either of nature or of man. It is of course man's duty to treat our slaves well.

Because you can never truly know anything in life, much less that "it's all ultimately pointless" you fucking edgy 16 year old.
>>
>>3092329
pointless in relation to what? maybe in relation to the universe but you can't take that position, if you could you wouldn't have an issue. so you can only discuss the point of something in relation to you. so if something makes you feel good that is the point into itself
>>
>>3095882
by feel good I mean in the timespan you plan to live. if you wanna off yourself soon probably the best idea would be to shoot up heroin or something. if not then maybe you wanna lead a balanced life that minimizes suffering while maximizing "happiness"
>>
>>3094358
>once you go nihilist, there's no way back
Why would you claim that?
>>
>>3095826
Sometimes, the truth is edgy. Doesn't make it wrong. :^)
