nihilists annoy me. i wish i could deal with them better

Fuck 'em.

geez.
ummmm.
hummmm.

what was the question?

:)

They are one of the worst kinds of materialists. I've met a few in school long ago and I used to enjoy fucking with their heads.

What I would tell them:

"It's laziness on your part to make no stand on anything. I would not ever follow a man that cannot claim that truth exists in anything to be found? Who would trust this person?"

I would tell them that:

"Your shit stinks too" and that "we are no longer living in Egyptian Times. We are no longer all group thinkers and as such you are moving backwards in accepting 'Nothingness'."

I would tell them:

"IN YOUR FUCKING (0)NULL, I FIND MY ALL"

I would tell them:

"Where you find only nothingness, I find 'everythingness'"

I would tell them:

"Where you laugh at those who believe in a God/God's, we laugh back at you when we believe that everything cannot have possibly merely come out from nothing (with no help at all!). Yet you call this science telling us that *dirt* had no beginning creator and you even want our faith in your little cult?"

Actually, its easy pis them off. :-)

nihilists see life as they see it because they don´t have the guts to take responsability of themselves and make their own meanings of life by willpower, not reason or religion.

Nihilists are annoying because they confine existence to the small box that they've limited reality to, and are often very adept at convincing they're right, because they tend to have intelligent logical arguments for their 'beliefs'.

But you know that something went very wrong at some point in their lives that caused them to shut down the pure wonder and mysterious dimensions of life, which tends to make them shallow and flat lined to a degree.

Living in Mom's basement and not even helping her with taking out the trash, tends to be rather hard on them.

Would have been funnier had you said:

Nihilists annoy me but there is no point to living.

They can be brilliant but they are still often ill.

I say the same thing of Nietzsche:

"A genius, yet ill."

All nihilists adhere to death ethos/anti-life thinking and anti-existentialism.

They don't see life and the purposes of human living as any more valuable, therefore they worship the notion that death and end for all humanity is preferable and necessary to restore the balance in nature, a rather morbid but misguided way of seeing things in perspective.

What the nihilists don't realize that they're still alive and have not even demonstrate a willingness to remove themselves from life to make their point. They are just waiting for everyone to get with their program and drink their own Kool Aids.

I had to look that term up just to make sure:

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position which argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following:

* Objective morality does not exist.
* No action is logically preferable to any other in regard to the moral value of one action over another.
* In the absence of morality, existence has no intrinsic higher meaning or goal.
* There is no reasonable proof or argument for the existence of a higher ruler or creator.
* Even if a higher ruler or creator exists, mankind has no moral obligation to worship them.

Nihilism is also a characteristic that has been ascribed to time periods: for example, Jean Baudrillard and others have called postmodernity a nihilistic epoch,[4] and some Christian theologians and figures of religious authority have asserted that postmodernity[5] and many aspects of modernity[3] represent the rejection of God, and therefore are nihilistic.

Nihilism differs from skepticism in that skepticism allows for the possibility of religion, but demands empirical evidence for religious claims.[citation needed] Additionally, skepticism does not necessarily come to any conclusions about the reality of moral concepts nor does it deal so intimately with questions about the meaning of an existence without knowable truth.


Hmm, this makes me think I'm one of the nihilists then.

So OP, I'm assuming you're one of those religious fanatics?

So you believe in "nil" or 'nothingness'?

At least the dogmatic and insane fanatics have enough common sense to prefer to believe that something, must have made something else appear!

LoL, damn!

Hi, no i'm not religious. i'm still searching for truth, and that makes me an "orphan", but I try it every day...

When you climb that ladder of relative truth, toward the Absolute truth, see what there you will find.

Do you believe in luck or chance? If so, good luck in your quest for truth.

Do you believe in some Super-sensible Being or power? If so, God Sped you in your quest for truth.

I just happened upon this thread, and it's just hilarious the amount of posters who don't have any idea what they're talking about.

"What is the purpose of life?" If you can't answer this question, and I mean really answer it, then you're probably a nihilist. Most people are, they just don't realize/admit it.

Just because you don't know the purpose of life does not mean you are a nihilist. That is absurd.

The purpose of life is to ascend. Once you realize that and dedicate your life to that purpose then and only then do you truly live.

I was going to look up the meaning but I lost the will to live.

Nihilism’s concept of reality is tenaciously constructed on the denial of all value except the meaning of experience and outcome. As such, people and objects are manipulated by individuals to achieve variations in the formation of what is real.

Any and all natural events that occur are the result of this manipulation, shaping the outcome. Since each outcome may not be equally perceived by all or have the same meaning, what is real exists only in the mind of the one perceiving it.

The classic question: “If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it. . .did the tree fall?” is carried one step further by the nihilist who asks: “Did the tree even exist?” This concept is carried to the extent that Truth can be perceived, but does not exist and is not real.

In short, you never were a nihilist.

NIHILIST, n.
A Russian who denies the existence of anything but Tolstoi. The leader of the school is Tolstoi.

In contrary, when you oppose or try to convince a real nihilist they will ignore you or just laugh. Because they know those ppl are their own worst enemies.

And you're a child lacking any significant meaning in your life if you do that

I use an extendable baton to the kneecaps. Works like a charm every time. They never bother me again and tend to cross the street when they see me comin which is fine by me.

Nihilists, I laugh at their inconsequentiality and walk on.

A spray bottle of ammonia works just as well with fewer medical bills...just saying...

whatever. who cares.
