That date works for me. Tomorrow?
ProzakIan nihilism isn't real nihilism
Real nihilism is secular humanism
Fuck that active nihilist bs
ProzakIan nihilism is simply pragmatism
Not deserving of the word nihilism
Nietzsche always spoke negatively about nihilism. Prozakian "nihilism" is postmodernist jargon
Rhetoric, not unlike Gorgias
@diversity_is_racism do you truly believe taking something out of context like Heidegger would will amount to anything?
yeah @diversity_is_racism
if active nihilism is meant to be a flip side of passive nihilism, the current cultural zeitgeist.. why does it have to be nihilism?
you can't be from the void, and also stare into it
I want to ask him how it's nihilism
I think that it should just be called existentialism
Lacking certain things is not lacking all things. It is not nihilism
IT IS A REJECTION OF THE IDEA OF INNATE VALUE
AND THEREFORE IS NIHILISM
I AGREE IT HAS LITTLE IN COMMON WITH SECULAR HUMANISM, BUT THAT IS DELIBERATELY MISUNDERSTOOD
BY ITS PROPONENTS
WHO SEE IT AS MORE THAN MERELY INDIVIDUALISM
it's rejection of *an* idea
not of ideas
NIHILISM IS REALISM THAT DENIES THE PROMINENCE OF HUMAN JUDGMENT/INTENT
why can't it just be realism
i mean
IT IS REJECTION OF ALL IDEAS BASED IN INNATE TRUTH, VALUE AND PURPOSE
i thought i sounded cool telling people i was a nihilist back in the early 2000's thanks to the ANUS
REALISM DOES NOT CONTAIN ANYTHING OTHER THAN OBSERVATION
THIS INCLUDES A CONCLUSION REGARDING HOW TO OBSERVE
It's not existentialism @Hagel
IT PROBABLY DID SOUND COOL
BUT
did...
IT ALSO HAS SUBSTANCE
