Nihilists?

Self-destruction aside, I feel that nihilism is also a circular argument, even as materialist stance. Is there a book for this feel?

The whole notion of meaning and objective is human-made, or intrinsic to life - you must first be non-nihilist and accept that your own life seeks meaning (on base level, to survive) in order to even start making arguments about meaning.

Something emerges out of chaos by chance, and self-perpetuates. It's no different than black holes. The meaning of blackhole is to swallow stuff, and make it even more blackhole-ish. You can argue there's no meaning to black hole regardless, yet there it is, swallowing stuff, self-defining its own meaning by sheer brute force whether you like it or not.

Same goes for life - self replication, survival, and anything above stemming from that. When you spuriously start claiming the above is meaningless, and act on it, you just erased the carrier for self-defined meaning spuriously, evaporated the black hole.

This is not a reasoned argument against purpose life, as the whole point of life was just being alive to begin with. Arguing that self-definition is meaningless, despite overwhelming intrinsic evidence to contrary, is a Chewbacca prosecution. Sure, when there is nothing, there really is nothing. When there's no life, there really is no meaning as there's nothing left to define it.

But you can't use synthesis to argue that thesis is correct, "therefore" anti-thesis is not. Both are necessary for synthesis to even work in the first place.

Like I said earlier in the thread, you're looking at the problem way too close. You're examining hardware with a magnifying glass when you should be standing away considering larger problems. How will you know how to build an intelligence if you can't see the forest for the trees?

I imagine anon was trying to say something about two people aware of their own desires, with an interest in experimenting and few things holding them back. But really it just made me think of these guys.

Yeah, but postmodernism transmutes into nihilism which becomes hedonism in bestial humans.

It's not a coincidemce that both the Nihilists and Kant, the axis of modern and postmodern thinking, are German.

Germany is a petridish of what happens when you fuck with the dials of leadership in a society built around strict order. Women's "liberation" is an experiment of what happens when men are collectively guided by women to give into a worse nature and bite the apple.

you can't, they believe in nothing
