Nothing

Postby Urin Injimin Sasang » Wed Jan 06, 2010 7:06 pm

So this may look a bit pointless, even spammish, but I need some kind of validation to my own thoughts; I recently found out after that post of crap on Onnicracy's that there was something similiar to what I wrote -- Nihilism.

Discuss.

Discuss nihilism? I'm not a fan.
Science makes everything better!
“Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.”
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

How you perceive nihilism in question to be, how and if you can concieve 'nothing', or just to totally blast it altogether, et al. It's probably more of a philosophy of convenience to my bleak outlook on life than anything, that I am open to, but I'd like discourse from everyone.

I suppose that I'm an existential, moral, and epistemological nihilist.

There's no purpose, meaning or intrinsic value to discussing nihilism
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Since you have one of my favorite countries flags up I will be nice.

my advice is to edit your OP and attempt to guide the conversation a bit. Ask a uestion
Maybe focus on a specif area of nihilism.

Why be a Nihilist when you can be an Existentialist? There might be no external meaning, no obligations and no real point, but since that's the case, being in the world gives us infinite possibility to work with. Why do nothing when you can do anything?

Why be an existentialist when there's so much more of the universe to philosophize about?

Well yeah, but then you don't have any excuse to be all artsy negative and shit. Existentialists keep all the good bits of Nihilism in that respect.

The 'kk' character, if I recall, is often used on Korean forums to portray mockful laughter. I read Hangul and can understand some Korean, but I speak it in a very broken fasion and so don't converse in it often.

To be fair, the direction of this post was going to divert from it's original point from the start; to put external meaning into the analysis of nihilism would be an end in itself. My apologies for wasting your time. This was an honest attempt at using philosophy to failingly cover feelings of shittiness. Your moderatorship may want to lock this or something, or you can continue to discuss amongst yourselves if you want; I have no specific problem with either given my lack of understanding of the ettiquete here.

It is more of a playful giggle.
I wont converse in Korean here don't worry, its a pet peeve of mine when people talk in other languages on an English forum.
when I want to talk politics in Korean I go to a Korean forum for that.

I am not a moderator.
You can still make this a good conversation. just put some more effort into it is all.

I meant, by 'your', the forum collective, and hence by 'moderatorship', those who actually are.
My Korean will be slightly different when spoken also. The KFA don't encourage the Seoul dialect and prefer the Pyongyang one over it.
I'll see what I can do with reguards to changing the direction of this conversation but it seems unlikely; I'm not a natural converser/debator, I fail to do anything but either agree with justification or pander to hater's ego. Also I'm relatively new to the idea of Nihilism itself don't forget.

Nihilisim is no fun so it sucks. Even when your life is in the shitter there are little things to look forward to and enjoy. You can work to making life interesting and worthwhile, you are in the driver seat.

He is rather new, and it is this perfectly understandable that he would use the default pronoun.

Much older than one would think.
I don't pander to the moderator politicking here well.
Hence my limited knowledge on who I now understand to be a woman.
I don't see default pronouns; I just though naming 'Katganistan' directly would've been too personally accusative.
