“God is dead.” -Nietzsche

@basilfawlty89 yeah.

@EarthlingWise no.
Nothing matters.
Life has no meaning.
There's no point to the world...so let's smash it up!

@basilfawlty89 That's how you feel right now, many of us will beg to disagree.

@EarthlingWise no, that's more literally how Nietzsche felt.
Jesus, man, read a book!

@basilfawlty89 Nihilism is so depressing but needed to counter the corruption of Christianity.

Nietzsche did more than talk about his mood, though. But maybe you wanna see one side of him.

@plinkplonk @EarthlingWise I'm just staying nihilism says there is no inherent meaning. That's not necessarily bad.
It just means create your own meaning.

@basilfawlty89 I understand what you are saying > I was a philosophy major. To understand the impact of Nietzsche you need to understand what came before him and what came after him ... and also understand that he died of syphilis.

@plinkplonk so life is meaningless if you slept with an unclean woman?
Makes sense

@basilfawlty89 There's the young Nietzsche and the older one, the older one thought humans could still create values, outside a religious framework. But I am not a disciple of anyone in particular, which is something I share with him.

@EarthlingWise there was an old priest and a young priest in the Exorcist. Irrelevant, but fun for kindergartens and retirement homes.

@basilfawlty89 Trolling attitude.

@EarthlingWise yes.
