>is nihilism true
No
>I wish upon this young man,
A million bright eyed and attractive concubines,
to suck his cock while maintaining eye contact,
and that all of them swallow and tell him:
"I love you"
He deserves it.
That's nice

>I've never been very impressed by the arguments for nihilism-the thesis that nothing matters. They've always struck me as extremely lame, or, for those who find describing arguments as lame ableist, braindead (Who will be offended by that? Braindead people?). Some nihilists, for instance, will point out that the world will end at some point in the future, and then confidently assert the obvious non-sequitur that this means that nothing matters. I have never understood such arguments or why the hell anyone finds them persuasive!

>But there is one argument for nihilism that I find fairly persuasive. I'd give it maybe 30% odds of being right and I find that prospect terrifying. If it is right, that would have the tragic consequence that nothing we do matters. It would have an upside though; the universe wouldn't be good, but nor would it be bad! Heck, it wouldn't even be neutral! It would be something else, something much weirder!

>The basic steps of the argument are as follows:

>1. There are infinite people.
>2. If there are infinite people, our actions have infinite consequences, both positive and negative.
>3. If our actions have infinite consequences, both positive and negative, then the value of our actions, and the world, would be undefined.
>4. If the value of our actions are undefined, then nothing we do matters.
>5. Therefore, nothing we do matters.

>In short, if our actions have infinite positive and negative effects, and there's no coherent way to say they have more positive effects than negative effects, then our actions are neither good nor bad. This applies to all of them! So, let's see if that's true.

just no? The meaning is in the continuation of life?

>So... circular reason?

No, Nihilism happens after adolescence, when you first encounters ideals, attach yourself to some, and become disillusion when you see that all of those won't realize and that nothing is eternal.

meaning doesn't happen because things lasts, or because they don't last, for that matter, it's just another dumb ideal to think that things are meaningful only for their short duration.

Meaning is found when you have a good time as a human, but you've got to submit to your nature as a beast to feel it, some people aren't too keen on that. You've gotta let yourself feel fine about the fact that if power grows and strength grows and you enjoy a beautiful moment so thoroughly, it is because your nature as animal tells you to feel good, and that your behavior is conducive to passing on your genes.

"But if I consider my ideal mind, and see that my power and strength won't last, and that I'll just die anyway"
Shut up, and feel. At that point, excess of thinking is your mistake.
