read nietzsche

unsurprisingly unoriginal, this shouldn't be hard.

>>36782106
Just don't think about philosophy at all. That's the step beyond nihilism IMO. Once you realize everything's meaningless there's no point contemplating it.

>>36782346
>defeatist cuckoldry
are you suggesting this as an alternative?

>>36782373
that requires a lot more effort than asking strangers on 4chan tho
did he have a name for this overcoming of nihilism?

>>36782337
That's ur waifu criteria, responsibility.
Are u kitten me.
Also ur making a big assumption about us, you and I.

I'm more responsible so I will be ur new waifu.

Absurdism or just classical empirical reasoning/consequentialism you edgy wedgie.

>Mastery of a craft
>Financially supporting a worthy cause
>Making sure the Earth is renewable
>Changing the status quo
>Inspiring troubled youth that you can relate to

Or you can just do the family meme (>implying) or some other type of meaningless hedonism.

what if she isn't a nihilist? what if i'm not a nihilist? what if she works really hard on her outfits and kyousuke is a total pleb with no eye for aesthetics?

thank you for your answers, this was very helpful

None of you actually know what nihilism is or what it means. You're fucking morons and you most likely don't even give a shit about philosophy or the nature of life. Do yourselves a favour and debate about other shit that doesn't actually involved introspection and hours upon hours of research and general understanding. This isn't for mental weaklings.

Long answer short who cares
If you don't put ego first then nothing really matress and questions are irelephant
That's why only a dummy could empathise with a dumbo who throws away mc otp for 'reasons'

this, Nietzsche had a fuckton of foresight in regard of the collapse of religion resulting in totalitarianism and nihilism. Just read the existentialists to be honest.

Nietzsche called nihilists "life-deniers"; the opposite of that would be someone that is "life-affirming". He is very hard to read, but from what I can understand, nihilism comes from a lack of value in western societies after the death of God (and the metaphysics); instead of drowning in sorrow complaining that your life is meaningless or letting someone else give you a meaning (religion, politic movements like communism and fascism, etc) you should affirm yourself as an individual and a free thinker and create your own, better values, that actually make sense to you. It's about feeling powerful, and becoming strong enough that you can find beauty in life even if your life fucking sucks (Nietzsche himself had a pretty shitty life).

An example of this is the doctrine of eternal reocurrance. How does a nihilist think about death? A christian might think that having a shitty life is ok, because he is going to go to Heaven and have a nice eternal life, while someone else might intead think about killing himself because even nothingness is better than being alive. Now, imagine instead that you found out that, when you die, you are forced to relive your life again and again forever, with all of the good and all of the bad parts. True strength would be to love life so much that you would find such an existence divine.

I'm not gonna pretend I'm some speciallist, I'm reading through Daybreak right now and it's a pretty difficult text, the guy writes beautifully but is really hard to understand (he even says on The Antichrist that his book is 'not for everyone', the cheeky cunt). I suggest you go read his stuff yourself, your bound to get at least something good out of it.

Okay. You definitely make reading him look like it's worth the effort. I'm going to sleep now, but thanks for giving me something I can look forward to.

>>36782106
Play nier automata. In the end, it winds up being about nihilism, and is somewhat inspiring.

>>36782106
predeterminism, determinism and all of its variations, egoism, individualism, epicureanism, narcissism are all some pretty good mindset for robots to follow.
