>does that scare you?

Post your favorite Shakespeare quote

>Are there any books that talk about even minute activities such as this? I would hope that aristocratic families have good habits, many I have never even comprehended and that emulating some of those such as the aforementioned dinner table discussions will improve my life and the lives of my children whence I lose my virginity with a woman.
all the fucking morons in this thread who shit their pants that OP had a family situation that is actually very common are ignoring the part where OP asks for other habits and so on.

Define what "art" means to you, and make your case as to why games fit that description, OP.

Nihilists are the philosophical equivalent of those people that are clever and good at learning a subject but too cowardly/lazy to actually dedicate any time to learning about that subject. It's like those people you meet who were really good at physics in high school then went on to study some easy meme degree but still feel the need to periodically spout their theories about ontology and how we're in a simulation. Every argument I've ever gotten into with a self proclaimed nihilist has revealed them to have virtually no understanding of formal logic or sylllogisms etc. They just endlessly spout completely unfalsifiable statements about how X truism means we live in a Y world. Usually arguments like 'dude we're just matter' or 'every decision you make is evolutionary biology' or 'determinism DUDE life is absurd'. They occasionally add window dressing to these statements but any serious conversation with these people will reveal that their entire viewpoint of reality is informed by intuition. Other hallmarks of the nihilist are an incessant need to namedrop entry-level scientists and philosophers and make reference to pop culture. I don't even have a problem with nihilism as a philosophy but the problem is the idea is populated entirely by people who just like 'reading and thinking about stuff' and the minute you have them on the ropes they just dismiss your reasoning as cope.
Every nihilist is basically someone saying 'here's my hot take on life'.
The absolute hallmark of psuedophilosophy is presenting ideas that cannot be negated with counterfactuals such as >>13735553 points out.
Just try this DIY test to see how serious someone is:
>ask them why they believe life has no meaning
>present a hypothetical counterfactual
>ask them in what way that reality would have meaning
It's particularly grating as a chemist because of the number of times I have heard the word 'dopamine' uttered by philosophy majors I meet in college makes me want to shoot myself.

>Bach was all about the tempered 12 tone scale which does not follow the harmonic series

Its literally the most practical application of equal tuning so that any any note can be the gravitational center of the music and have the most important members of the series closely approximated.
