It's really not. As someone said the chair would still exist, but our concept of it won't. Without the concept of the chair it's not as though it will...

Not really, the fact that you said there can't be consciousness without existence pretty much cements the primacy of existence, the reverse would just...

I don't really take anything that me writes seriously. Dude sounds like he just had a bad day when forming this stuff.

But then wouldn't non existence also be rendered a null concept without existence? I just shows how absurd the argument being made it. To argue agains...

You know I never thought of that, when the people in the thread talk about stuff not existing even that is a concept itself. In fact everything he men...

But without existence as a concept how would it still exist? Sorry I'm just trying to wrap my head around your point.

But what would we be sitting on if we had no concept of such things let alone the concept of a "thing".

I understood it, you would need a way to quantify inner experience for the question to even make any sense. Even then it doesn't matter either way.

Source? From what I can tell there isn't a structure like that in the brain. So far they've isolated a bundle of nerves that turn it on and off but so...

It is a thing. I just on average find myself more attracted to black men. It's got nothing to do with class it's just appearance.

But it isn't a value judgment though, because we don't actually judge anything. It just is. Like when you like a certain flavor, there isn't a judgmen...

So there is no point then? Got it. Because all I am seeing is a wall of text that changes nothing at the end of the day.

How exactly is that racism? Being attracted to black men doesn't mean I think they're better than any other race, I'm just physically attracted. It's ...

This is what I am referring to about the link ^

What exactly is the point of this though?

But the link itself says that we don't, or rather can't make inductions.

Making meaning was not his solution. He was explicitly against it because it was not confronting the absurd but running from it.

That actually was not the point of Camus at all. He said that making personal meaning was not a solution and just a way to avoid dealing with the absu...

Ah but they do have meaning though, otherwise they wouldn't be enjoying life. They find meaning in those little things and food on the table. They hav...

It doesn't really give you a key though. Camus is still dodging by assigning meaning and value to living. Nihilism says there is no meaning or value.

How exactly do you figure?

From what I can tell nothing mattering isn't what Buddhism says though it appears that way. I still stand by my last point. Nothing mattering would ju...

I fail to see how nothing mattering can be empowering.

no such thing as Karma, or good and evil for that matter. Doing evil doesn't make evil comes to you and doing good doesn't mean much either. Justice a...

Values and life goals are pretty much the reasons why anyone is alive at all. Life is not a joyride, it's hell unless you're in the developed world.

Again, chance. There is no design to evolution. That's the first mistake they correct in class. Adaptable mutations are lucky because it is a role of ...

Reread the definition. It presupposes and external entity imbuing it.

No standing still is not worse. Stop trying to affix to life qualities it does not possess. The creation cannot imbue itself with purpose. Purpose is ...

They don't though. Purpose is something imbued by a creator, evolution has no purpose it simply is a force that happens. If you want to say purpose it...

No they didn't. It's clear you don't have any real evidence for your claims. But what I said about psychology is the truth, so much so that even my pr...

To correct you, no it isn't. None of that is to create warm or a star, it's to delude yourself into thinking such things exist in the universe and ign...

Again, still wrong. Pretty sure the conscious mind came first otherwise you wouldn't have language. I wouldn't put much stock in research put forth by...

That's not really an answer as a self generate purpose is no different from nihilism. I mean...it's sort of like saying "it's true for me" in an argum...

Sorry but those experiments are flawed. As has been shown plenty of people don't move their mouths at all while thinking. Myself included. Not sure wh...

Well, no moral statement, that's my point.

Ethics is nothing but value judgments so it's impossible to be unbiased. No. Again, no. That is still mere opinion. Dysfunction is implying a state of...

If you mean right as in true or correct in terms of facts then that's a different story. But morality speaks in terms of should and should not, which ...

I read your posts but your arguments are wrong. It’s more like nihilism knows we made all this stuff up. It is similar to language and one could argue...

Changes nothing.

Such people tend to be smarter than most.

No you aren't. You aren't giving supremacy to anyone. By opting to not play you win. Think about what happens when enough people stop playing the game...

Apparently not. What has philosophy done that had made things better?

For many others though homeless would be an improvement. Either that or death. But why bother with such things though? Why not choose to "not play the...

More like it takes funds to pay for such education but if philosophy hasn't answered anything important then why do we bother teaching it? Just to sit...

I don't think you've worked a service job before. The kind of work wears you down to the point that most people dread waking up and going through it, ...

Technically there is no good or bad in anything, only in us. So if philosophy hasn't answered any important questions then why bother with it? Seems l...

I want to show that there is no reason for living so that when I eventually take my life people won’t call my illogical or clouded

It’s not rationalization, that is literally what the defenses against death or suicide are, appeals to emotion or nature, which is why they fall flat....

It is. You are arguing it’s only natural to do so so it’s appeal to nature. I’ve already said why it’s not logical to want to do it. Stop repeating th...
