The Illusion of Progress

[SmallTalk201]

I used to talk like the op. would think bout this stuff all the time. thought I was real smart and deep thinker cause of it. Then I came across some actual smart people. Now I'm starting g think my pseudo intellectual rambling bullshit a sign I got problems and I was acting like the better version of Bob chimp man all along.

I can saying dwelling on this stuff did not i mprove my life but rather made thigs worse

no meaning: nihilism.

Oh, I thought by types of meaning there'd be one more between that and no meaning

That would have made sense. It did sound like I had a ready-made list, reading back.

Nihilism is a coward's way out; the question of meaning isn't one that a man can refuse to answer. Do a deeper reading of The Genealogy of Morals or Man and Superman, Being and Nothingness, Being and Time, or The Myth of Sisyphus if you seriously want to seriously engage in the question of post-modern existence. Otherwise you're going to just look like a twat.

Man, you have to pretty serious to seriously want to seriously engage in that question.
