Depressing

alight cool

That's nihilism though isn't it?

When life has no meaning or purpose.

I suppose

It's really not depressing to me

a lot of philosophies have overlapping areas where some people find themselves in a grey area i find

nah I see the comfort in thinking that way

I can't think about it too much or else it'll depress me even more lmao

there are variations in the definition for nihilism. Seems the most popular says there's no objective meaning to life or value

fair

lol

But that can also be extended to say all religious principles should be rejected, as well as all _moral_ principles because there's no objective standard to set them against

but doesnt mean someone cant create their own moral principals

just cause youre nihilistic doesnt mean morals are out the window and youre a dick, cause you can most likely still feel empathy/sympathy/compassion

lol

Hey guys can you make a decision for me?

I can feel those but I may have a reduced capacity to feel them. That's a different issue though

Yes

I love making decisions for people other than myself

maybe..?

So I don't know what I should commit my time tomorrow to. Should I write, work on some programming, or take some of my rabbits out to the trail near my house?

What do you write

I write books. Sometimes. I usually switch between stories spastically so it takes me some time to finish them.

numbing them out is one thing, but having them to the extent to just be able to realize that certains actions you do hurt people and not wanting to hurt people makes you develop your own set of morals, is whay I mena

Nerd agree, it just seems that nihilism doesn't want these things to be objectively assigned. I also find it comforting the idea that life doesn't have any concrete given purpose, and that makes the world a sandbox and I can choose what I want to do

Oh ok. I've thought of an idea for a sort of story but I'm not much of a writer

oh the book writing would be nice, and if you cant decide then take the rabbits out as a break at some point

What I believe is that morals should be in accordance with reason. They aren't objective, they're social tools

If you break them, your right to protection is revoked

makes sense, I think in the same way as far as the objective goal, but I dont know loads about nihilism in all honesty so i wouldnt go as far as to consider one myself

I suppose. I'm just trying to not waste time before my classes start again.

yeah I get what youre saying with morals, makes sense

So if you murder someone, you are terminating their right to live in society. Therefore, your right to live in society should be terminated

You ought to be consistent with your value system

ah yeah its nice to do something between classes

Not necessarily.

a eye for a eye makes the whole world blind

ever heard of that

re re

I'm not saying murderers should be murdered
