- bovermyer 3y agoThat's nihilism for you. I don't understand it, but that doesn't stop me from trying to.
- tommiegannert 3y agoNihilism is a bit of a hole that is hard to dig out of, because you've, by definition, had all the rungs of the ladder back to society fall apart. Combine that with the Backwards law of Alan Watts [1], and you're left wondering if you even should try to dig yourself out, isn't that just making things worse? [1] The backwards law suggests that if you are pursuing happiness, it makes you unhappy. If you just relax, happiness is more likely to come.
