You are actually schizophrenic and should seek help before you hurt yourself beyond repair.

No, you are making baseless claims. The existence of logic and causality, categories, judgement and meaning have objective existence scientifically. Through empirical study of the brain (neuroscience) along with psychology, we've found out meaning-making, numerical intuition, logical categories and emotion are built into our biology. Depending on which route you take on the cognitive sciences (I am personally a cognitive constructivist), you can make sense of the rest. Unfortunately philosophy tends to obscure most of these things, like Hegel or Kant they were both confusing dumbasses who should have kept it to themselves.

Dementia, Alzheimers and brain deteriorative involving facial recognition or meaning will show you there's no objective existence of meaning. Meaning is created thru our minds by the observer (interactionism), such as the case with optical illusions and multi-stable perception. I believe the Buddhists and the Easterners were probably the closest, considering their familiarity with visual awareness and focusing of attention. Lack of meaning-making and failure of the ability to filter stimuli can result from schizophrenia, seizures, strokes, aphasia etc.
Just want you to understand: you should separate your philosophy from modern day scientific understanding. Lack of meaning or logical categories is partly caused by brain/biological disorder. You can't "think" your way into nihilism, and vice versa. This is why scientists and philosophers today disagree so heavily, it's a shame

It feels like endorphins and chemicals (dopamine and oxytocin) released into my bloodstream. My heart starts pounding and my breath is short. I end up fantasizing while my testosterone rises. The urge to procreate will prevail
