Every nihilist writing ever:

>starts off with clear introduction about what kind of place world is
>then describes how humans and their societies evolved, still rooted in deep fact and science
>keeps delivering insights and jaw-dropping redpills
>truth bombs left and right
>identifies every error in the modern human existence, you just keep nodding in agreement and wonder why didnt I find this text sooner and why does nobody write like this (except other nihilists of course)

but then

>last part of the thesis starts off with the manifestation, how to apply the philosophy into real life to make a change and create a new society
>every line is very bad, every suggestion undeveloped, crude, and boring
>you wake up from the nihilist dream and suddenly all of the previous paragraphs seem like utopian fiction
>you throw the thesis into the trash and realize what a useless daydreaming hobby nihilism is
>you go to McDonalds (c), listen to your iPad (tm), slurp your Coke (c), and watch some Game of Thrones on TV (c)
