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

It's not nihilism in any way that I can justify

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

Existentialism focuses around the ego

WE HAVE A LOT MORE KIDDIE NIHILISTS AROUND

but if it has substance, how is it nihilism?

AGREED @spaceplacenta

IT IS A FORM OF INDIVIDUALISM

IT CONSISTS OF A DISBELIEF IN INHERENT/INNATE VALUE

THIS IS NIHILISTIC

is it possible to not BE a nihilist

FROM THAT, MORE CAN BE ASCERTAINED

BUT AT THE SAME TIME

but to incoporate nihilistic viewpoints?

THE BASIS IS IN NIHILISM

PROBABLY
