I'm a Nihilist AMA - Null hates me for some reason

I'm not a polititard. I have no reason to be a pawn in someone else's battles. I have better things to do than fight over trivial shit.

People who are into politics are retards and are no smarter than a spider monkey.

Good.
So you want a future for mulatto trans children twerking on the smoldering ruins if western civilization?
 
Nihilism in a nutshell explained in a way you retards will understand:

There are no gods. No devils, no demons, no angels. No heaven. No hell. No ghosts, spirits, or any other types of bullshit. There is no afterlife in any shape or form. This is the basic foundation the nihilistic world view is built on.

Your one and only lifetime in this universe, that just so happens to occur on this planet we call Earth is temporary. Very temporary. Unless you're a very powerful person, or very famous, or someone that did something so twisted and evil that history will remember you (like Hitler) , it will take two generations after your death and you will be forgotten. Three generations max. Everything that gave any indication to anyone that you even existed will be gone. Yes, your descendants will be there, proving you existed, but I for one don't even know what my great grandfather's name was. Odds are the same could be said about you eventually.

Everything with a beginning has an end. Humanity's existence is temporary. We will all be gone and stars will still burn, and planets will still orbit them.

So think about. With you, me and the rest of humanity being temporary, life and everything that goes with it is inherently meaningless.

That doesn't mean we don't get to enjoy the ride. Life is short. Life is meaningless. Make the most of it. Don't fuck it up for others.
 
I have no reason to justify my morality system, just principles I suppose. The purpose of life is just to make your life as enjoyable as possible. Stuff like senseless violence and making others' experience worse are wasted effort that don't further my purpose.

Societal morals are just species preservation instincts at work. It would be very counterintuitive for an individual of a species to act against the preservation and survival instincts of their own species, and they may experience ostracization from the species and other negative consequences. It is in my best interest to confirm to the common morality system so I can be a accepted member of my species.
So you would say that a powerful enough individual that engages in his most degenerate urges is completely justifiable according to nihilism? After all his goal is to feel enjoyment and his power makes any risk zero.

Nihilists are gay. They suck the penises of other men.
Just 'A' penis, not 'penises'.

Well as long as all parties involved are consenting and able to consent, sure why not?

How much can you bench? What's your workout routine?
I don't go to gym; I only jog, hike and sometimes swim.

If the western world falls to an enemy group where 41% of their deaths is suicide, then it was doomed to fail, right?
 
So you're a nihilist but you don't believe in predestination? You don't think that some people are uniquely born good or evil, that we all choose the roads we follow and aren't lead down them through suggestion from our biology and environment?

What I'm trying to say is how do you know there's not something in that mind and body of yours that dictates your freewill like a program? From a slight twitch in your thumb to the words you say, how do you know it's not just a reaction? How do you know the choices you make are not already decided beforehand by fate itself?

Say there's a 4 dimensional being that is capable of going from the beginning to end of the universe and interacting with it. Say they did nothing and just watch the universe play out again and again, would it always turn out the same? Is anything completely random? And if there ain't no 4 dimensional time wizard, then how can anything change from its current course of actions?
I think the Universe is made out of 2 layers, cosmos and chaos. The cosmos is the matter, energy, etc; elements that, if the beginning of the Universe is always the same, it will always play out the same. The cosmos has no agency and will always follow a predictable pattern. The chaos are beings of higher intelligence; animals that are smart enough to make decisions on more than instinct. A chaotic element can take a different path, regardless if the circumstances of its inception are the same. Or, at least, that's the best way to describe it.

So no, there's no such thing as predestination. Even if something is concieved in the same circumstances, chaotic behavior can lead to different outcomes. For example, a poor person can play his cards right and become wealthy, and a rich can gamble it all away and become homeless.

Free will is a weird subject. There is no free will, as in many of your decisions and choices are heavily influenced by your biological drives. Things like mood, needs, etc. Even if you have 100% free will, you still have to play by the rules. But fate? No, the Universe won't play out like a prerecorded tape.

So yea, that should answer your question, if a 4th dimensional being would watch a universe play out over and over again, and the conditions allow the agents of chaos to influence the universe in a way (ie, intelligent life is created), the Universe will play out different.

Why does it matter if they consent? Do you ask consent from NPCs when you play a video game? What's the difference, since both of those are just pre programmed applications?

A religious man would talk about humans having an essence of god, and hell and heaven. But you just talk about how the goal in life is to be happiest and then immediately cuck on that you need to have consent from others.

It matters to me individually cause it exposes a gap in the systems that are meant to protect my wellbeing.

Realistically it doesn't matter and will be forgotten in 10 years.

I'm talking about the nihilistic mindset, not an individual that decides that nothing matters but his own happiness except "coincidently" religeous based set of moral guideline. Also it's a completely illogical argument if it's a case of a billionaire diddling kids, why should it matter to you as an adult?

Have you ever considered owning a ferret?
No, too high maintenance.
