I've lost all my friends over the years so I'm really looking forward to spending my evening with a bunch of autists and fembots.

> Are you nihilistic though?
I don't seem to have any choice. I mean I tried not to be. I've willed it not to be, but it doesn't work. However, as I convalesce from an all too long depression, I've been searching frantically for a way out. You see, I'm worried my depression could return at any minute.

> i hold the hopeful belief that culture is self correcting and 'the cream will rise to the top'
Unfortunately I don't see this as happening. Perhaps its possible for a small group to develop some new thoughts but there is simply too much inertia to the culture for it to change. I think we're still feeling the consequences of Newton, to be honest. I see it becoming more fractured, for sure. I think it'll remain fundamentally nihilistic. People will become relativists while secretly abhorring that position... I think there'll be another political movement, eventually at least, that takes advantage of the widespread angst. Somewhat like Trumpism. I dislike Trump, but he's certainly no evil. I fear that there'll be something more sinister.

This thread has become toxic: abort!

But to answer your question, OP, try something by Nietzsche. He will rarely argue his point but you'll get his position--which has proved to be quite popular. Start with "The twilight of the idols" but otherwise read him in order.
