how can i stop being nihilistic?

Take the next logical step into existentialism.

Sure it's possible / probable that nothing has objective meaning, but rather than embrace nihilism you look inward rather than outward and give it meaning from within.

>> No.10159733

I am guessing that you agree with the correspondence theory of truth. The way out of nihilism for me was to realize that that theory of truth was wrong and to find a proper alternative theory.

Nihilism is merely scepticism that has lost its patience. The nihilist's 'no' is as unwarranted as the 'yes' he opposes. It's intellectually dishonest or lazy.

Nihilists need epoché. Quietism is the true endgame of philosophy.

Literally just spend more time with people, talking to people. It lifts your overall demeanor by conjoining the rift created in your mind by being isolated. Less time spent lost in your mind equals more time found in reality.

Don't do this anon. Giving meaning to the world from within is a call to all that your being is a conduit that will become what others and other thins will will. To will meaning onto the world is impossible. That people say earnestly you can make the world mean something is a testament to their ignorance.

The trick is to develop your logic skills and to listen to others. Then push each of your qualities around with you mind, attack them by doing the opposite, and teach yourself how to find an equalpollence of ideas about your being, and then you can go no further. You become tranquil until you can't sit on the ledge any longer, can't sit alone in a room doing nothing any more.

"Pyrrho once declared that it matters not whether one lives or dies. A heckler from the crowd then shouted 'Why don't you go kill yourself then?' Heckling philosophers was a favorite pastime of the Greeks."

"To will meaning onto the world is impossible."

t. ideologue

the realization of existentialism isn't that you have to absurdly create meaning from whence there was none. instead it's about firmly reconciling yourself in relation to the world, and cultivating a peace for yourself with respect to that relation. logic skills are just like the image you posted: an idealized spook that isn't relatable to contemporary 'being there'.

>>10159733
the western canon when properly read is a long complicated history of slowly realizing there is no hopes of universals. active nihilism is all about realizing the positive aspect that things are not things-in-themselves, but instead related to you. you're everything you need already.
