So is this thread just for shitposting or can we actually talk about stuff? Cause I'm a nihilist and don't think it's any reason to get depressed or angsty about poo poo.

You mean you're an existentialist, in the way Nietzsche and Camus were existentialists. Sure, we can recognize that nihilism is the actual way of the universe because there is no god. But that doesn't mean we can't make our own meaning for ourselves and our lives. We can be our own god!

What does your conscience say? Become what you are!

It's a trap to think there needs to be a God for reality to have inherent meaning.
E: Also Nietzsche hated nihilism and sought to destroy it.

The entirety of Nietzsche's philosophy is built around trying to show that the nihilism that comes with the death of God is not the end of meaning.
