Pessimism. Start with the antinatalists. Zapffe, Schoppie, Liggoti, Cioran, Benatar
Virtue ethics.

Litarally arbitrary nonsense.
>>8453939
Let me guess you're the pussy nihilist, who cries in the corner because nothing matters. When really, you should be the proper nihilist and dance around in a field naked because nothing matters.

Well, anything getting you out of nihilism is going to be 'arbitrary nonsense' by definition.

And since that was a too barebones reply:
You see teleology/cybernetics everywhere in nature. Designed or not, systems tend towards equilibria. Nihilism is nothing but a perturbed state in society. It always passes, it is always minor (both quantitatively and qualitatively), and it always recurs. Like a genetic disease. Various diseases always keep popping up even after going extinct due to random mutations allowing for their genetic markers reappearing. They never reach fixation unless they piggy-back on some other function. Nihilism is like that --
A self fixing problem. You think your life is aimless? Fear not: Nature doesn't care. You will be pruned, and other will in time take your place.
Ergo: we all have in us endowed by Nature the means that allow us to reach our ends. The ends of nihilism is death. So, kill yourself.

You're literally a moron.
Growing the fuck up.

What does dancing naked in a field have to do with nihilism?
>>8453982
Being a pessimist is the hardest path through life. Normies can't handle depresssive realism.

No it's not, it's the mark of every pseudo intellectual because they're scared of being disappointed.
Half the threads here are about nihilism or Nietzsche
Like, come on
The other half are memeing Infinite Jest or Ulysses
>>8453973
Not really. I'm not weeping and cutting and wearing all black, I enjoy doing those 'dance around naked' things; it's just that they lost pleasure.

>expecting anything more than memes from 4chan
Why do you people do this?
