Should be easy then.
Which one?
[quote]That’s what i was asking about. The nihilism and your definition of it.
The ultimate “truth” of it might well be known when I’m dead. Until then, why can’t I just exist?
…
[i]Yea sure anyway, you can only prove what you test right? In so far as concerning my own existence what I prove to be true for me, in mind minds right. Might not be “true” for you. E.g. Describe the color blue.
Life is perceptions, human relations are a testament to the perceptions. Thank you.
So what do you consider to be true? What Science can prove? Or what you have experienced? Or maybe what the Media tells you. Or maybe what your mother and father told you as a youth. They lied about Santa and the Easter Bunny you know that much, correct?
What truth do you speak of? When I speak of “ultimate truth” I speak of the things that I will consciously encounter in my departure from my physical means on this earth.[/i]
I took it that you meant that you doubted whether you exist or not.
Not Existentialism.
If not, can you clarify what you did mean?
[i]Right. I’m sitting here, like chilling doing some homework, why? So I can go to school, why? So I can get a job, why? So I can make money, why? So I can get pussy, why? So I can have kids, why? So I can continue my genetic line, why? I don’t know, it makes sense to me.
That’s questioning your existence for example.[/i] [/quote]
how does a believer in nihilism not contradict himself?[/quote]
Is that a rhetorical question?
Partiality to belief is not wholly belief in. Careful.
I don’t know why you think I should defend this Nihilist vs. Existentialist perspective since it wasn’t my initial intention.
What I have, like I’ve been explaining is a true perception that only after I discovered what they were (ism’s) did I become partial to. Thinking for myself. Then later discovering that the ism’s had similarly constructed philosophies.
What major differences do you see in Nihilism and Existentialism. I’ll let you know more of what I am partial to and not.
Done repeating myself. Any other questions?
