Do nihilists belive in

A) meaningless subjective experience
B) meaningless objective reality?

If A), why do they hate objective truth?
If B), why do they give a shit objective truth?
If both, why can't they see how meaningless objective reality can't be derived from meaningless subjective experience, and meaningful subjective experience can be created within and without a meaningless objective reality.

I only respect theists and nihilists

nihilists don't believe in anything, just like atheists

Clearly they believe in something, because I've seen them doing things. An action requires interpretation and an interpretation requires belief. Without fully believing in anything you wo'nt be able to do anything.

go to bed peterson. with that logic all organisms have beliefs because all organisms act. yet we all know that isn't the case so that means that argument is horrible

>>9998047
But it is.The organism reacts to stimuli it interpretes as truth.

>>9998047
Self-awareness is not a requirement for belief. Not even conscious is. Belief = interpretation and interpretation is something all matter is capable of, or the matter would otherwise not exist.

I may still want to do something.

>A) meaningless subjective experience
>B) meaningless objective reality?

B implies A. That said, no nihilist can say for certain that reality is certainly meaningless, but even the most basic analysis will show you how essentially meaningless, chaotic and inconsistent is our subjective experience. This is as far as actual knowledge goes: in this case the knowledge is how inherently confusing and volatile human understanding is.

>If B), why do they give a shit objective truth?
Objective truth is just to realize that you are full of shit, and that your sense of certainity is not justifies in any way whatsoever, unless when it comes to metaphysical and human questions. This is as far as the ideal nihilist would go, everything beyond it would be pure speculation.
This implying that said nihilist is genuinely interested in what you'be described: many may simply not care about it.

I reject belief = interpretation. demonstrate why that is the correct definition for the term or else I'll give your bottom 10 spankings.

Nihilists believe that the fanciful world of language(s) CAN be negotiated, but that it's JUST that: fanciful. Otherwise how are lawyers politicians bankers businessmen able to manipulate it with such consistency? It's ALL a crock of shit, as easy to love as it is to hate. It also, weirdly, validates 'religion'. I mean there's all this other bullshit, so why not religion too? In fact it ALMOST makes religion attractive, relatively speaking (relative to 'banking,' for instance) for being FAR MORE 'human,' i.e. perennial in outlook. Montaigne, Shakespeare, Dickinson were all nihilists: it is the literary perspective PAR EXCELLENCE next to which 'politics' is just a passing fancy. The morons who insist that 'everything is political' merely look at 'everything' from a non-perennial point-of-view, and therefore 'irrationally' though not, unfortunately, irrelevantly.
