@XenonRush a philosophy that doesn't believe reality has a purpose.
Especially no deity of any type. You can say a form of atheism would come close.

So, this is an actual thing? Are there any people who are famously nihilists?@DeWayfarer

@XenonRush well I wouldn't call it a major movement. Yet the concept of nihilism has been around for over a hundred years with Ivan Turgen in 1855.
It is sort of required philosophy reading in universities. Read some of it myself in college.
Had a Mormon as a philosophy teacher. 😆

the lyrics are not ignorant but ignore something that we are all aware of. "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." the best video that i have seen to explain this is by Dr. Max Tegmark. about emergent phenomena. i will make a separate post.

@pdxlinux their argument would be: "what if the whole isn't greater than it's parts"?
The whole point of nihilism is to question everything. BTW that is the philosophy that fits to a tee!
It's the only thing that I agree with in nihilism. Question everything. It's their conclusions that I have problems with.
As a true questioner could only put it: "What if nihilism is a deceit?" 🤷🏻♂️😊

I am a nihilist, I have been since my childhood. Yet I am a nihilist looking over the fence, hoping it would prove me wrong.
