nihilistic nihilism, the belief that the lack of belief if pointless. No proponent of the ideology exists because once they accept its principles, the brain implodes along with the existence of the individual.

lmao

Chinese puns

A thought that destroys itself, what a concept.

yea just skip it till u have time. This is much shorter but informative @Useful Bard https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-1/mswv1_17.htm

I found it like a week ago

thanks anon

I’m sorry if I’m coming off as annoying or anything, I just think you’re on the right track and should learn this stuff

@☭ Anon ☭ Hey man, don't take any of the shit I say as personal. I love to argue over complicated stuff.

Wym? I was talking to Bard

are you familiar with Camus by any chance? @Crazed Shotgun

Nope

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdism

give this a quick read

Yeah I've heard of Absurdism, I think it's a bit out there but I'm an oddball

well what makes you say that? I’m curious

The universe as a whole cares very little about what we do, so there is no purpose to our actions.

This assumes that the universe is the final authority of purpose, which it clearly isn't. In a meaningless state of being, what you make of life is your purpose.

sounds epic

However, depending on your belief on whether or not fate is predetermined would influence your opinion on absurdity

Quantum Particles vs. Pilot Waves

To summarize, A quantum Particle can Act as either a particle or a wave, being in a state of superposition until it is observed.

A pilot wave is the concept that the outcome of the observation is a result of an outside force making the decision of the particle to behave like a wave or particle.

henlo

Well the universe is predetermined because everything is already set in motion, and follows a set of rules that govern their present and future behavior. Although we can’t measure it very accurately with our current knowledge of quantum mechanics, if the universe didn’t follow a set of rules then we wouldn’t be able to make predictions about the phenomena that we can measure, and the quantum world is inexplicably connected to the larger system which we can observe

If that makes sense

>da quantum world

Ye, the universe does have its own set of rules and whatnot

The smaller we look, the less the rules matter

On the elemental level, we know how atoms will react with one another, its is observable and replicable.

^^

On the subatomic level however, it's harder to see if there is order.

we can't even pinpoint electrons atm iirc, we can only guess it's general area because dem nigs be moving so fast

I myself believe in an ordered universe and because of that, I believe in a supreme being that structured it so.

intelligent design and whatnot?

something like that

could be.

Well that can’t be verified. It’s a bit odd to speculate that an external immaterial being created the universe when the idea of the immaterial is itself something that is impossible to prove

Everything we can observe in the universe is the result of material processes

or natural processes if that is more clearly defined
