*dons glove on wild dagger and flops it around*

but seriously, i will talk only bullshit now:

i think “nihilism” can be disdained more for being “a philosophy” than for being “nihilism”

systematized thinking or ideas, though systems, obsessively and compulsively coherent thought

something something

inhuman, overly-human, machinic, a.i.

something about logic and coherence incurs in dishonesty, and editing out nuance and uncertainty
or something

so in a way, it’s a pose

to affirm something so definitely and absolutely without doubt, is okay as a bold moment,

but as a system or immutable idea that should hold constant and correct and stand the test of time

is iffy

philosophy is brands of thought bullying and thought contracts to thought styles and mish mashing of thought traditions of mostly western or westernized introverted and contemplative (etc, a type) white males

i wouldn’t ban it, but i certainly wouldn’t encourage it!

convoluted thinking arrives at justifications for [blank]
hard to fathom or reach conclusions that most wouldnt achieve or arrive at. i think this is why it may occasionally provide valuable eccentric contributions, it’s mostly there to annoy and give headaches to not philosopher types

but, philosophy not as a separate thing, but as love of thought and questioning, fans of trippy dialogue walking and talking

then nihilism is there, just not a distilled and branded substance, it’s there in the mix

but! words mean different things!
here nihilism usually points more to a mood or headspace and orientation and disposition as well as affinity with (usually unfulfilled) desires towards a particular set if specific actions!

wow! words!
