You don't sound much like a nihilist to me.
- NoGravitas 6mo agoExistentialism and/or Optimistic Nihilism. I'm a pessimist, myself.
- nathan_compton 6mo agoI'm not optimistic. I think an accurate assessment of the world is, in a sense, pretty pessimistic. But I don't see any reason to get worked up about it. It would be very stupid to let my mind tell me that I cannot experience pleasure in the world just because the long term situation looks bleak. I can't control any of that stuff anyway, so why bother feeling bad about it?
- throw4847285 6mo agoOh so you actually are a nihilist in the sense that Nietzsche meant. That's too bad.
