It's true that existentialism and nihilism is met with a feeling of emptiness, but it's freeing more than anything else.
I loathe when people try to find a meaning to their life, a goal, happiness, or harmony.
I always look at human and social sciences with a hefty dose of skepticism. The only things measured are words and normed perceptions.
Even the notion of good or evil doesn't click anymore.

- dariusj18 5y agoAs an agnostic atheist person there is one thing that freaks me out more than anything, when someone who is religious asks me, "If you don't believe in god, what stops you from just going around and killing people?" My answer is typically, "Is your belief in god the only thing that prevents you from just murdering people? That is disturbing."
