"Ja, Nothing"

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position which argues that Being, especially past and current human existence, is without objective meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, or essential value. Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following:

1.there is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator,

2.a "true morality" does not exist, and
objective secular ethics are impossible; therefore, life has, in a sense, no truth, and no action is objectively preferable to any other.

Same here. Most of the time I feel depressed, I feel the entire world is out to get me simply I'm communist or don't like America. It's so sad being a Korean at times, whenever you feel prideful of your culture, all that is shot down by some smart remark made by an aggorant American.

It hurts soo much.

Nietzsche was always one of my favorite philosophers, after Marx of course.

I think Nietzsche is under credited by most people.

Ah, the good old, "God is dead" (Gott ist tot) quote. Yes, Nietzsche is a genious.

...

Don't some Americans hate him though? I could be wrong...but given that about 85 percent of Christians in American are...well... "Creatationists", I believe they do.

Lif3 is a cemical supe nothing else.

Yes, some do. They say
"God is dead" -Nietzsche
"Nietzsche is dead" -God

Well, both are dead obviously.

And...

It's people like Epicurus that make me happy. ^^

I think that point of Epicurian Philosophy

As far as Nietzsche is concerned:
His writing is somewhat interesting. His works about the "Übermensch" are quite entertaining.

I have been able to make some correlations between Marxism and Übermensch philosophy.

Nietzshe was an ideologist of capitalism and fascism with his ideas of superior races and people being for themselves.

While against my ideas, that doesn't make his ideas uninteresting.

No, that's not the meaning of Ubermensch, it is a goal to be attained by the entirety of the human race.

I don't think he was refering to the Übermensch but to Nietzche.

Damn, this forum is turning into Newgrounds General.

Basically, we are more complex versions of viruses. As George Carlin put it "Humans are Apes with Baseball caps and automatic weapons". But humans have the potential to do much more than that. Just because life has no metaphysical or divine "meaning" doesn't mean that we can't try to enjoy it and try to make it better for everyone.

akk our attempts stiil fail. if our efforts to make life bt=etter are working. there should be less suicides and crimes but there are not

The thing that describes is more nihilism than anything else.
