I don't believe in anything. From religion to philosophy, these are all just other people's ideas to me. However, they still manage to provide a great deal of enjoyment to me. I play around with them, subvert them, mesh them together. Whatever suits my fancy, whatever seems stimulating at the moment. But I am not particularity invested in any of it.

You can't challenge my worldview, because I don't have one. Why would I pick just one at random? Why would it be any more "right" than the others? I want to continue drifting in this boundless sea of ideas. I don't want to drop an anchor, that would be death. Life would become so boring.

How grown up! You've decided to play your roles like good NPCs. But no, postmodernism is just another idea to me, one I consider alongside all the others. One day I'm a materialist, the other I find myself in the world of spiritual entities. Wait, that's a lie - I never believe in any of it. It's just a fanciful idea, like reading a fiction novel and daydreaming about the characters.

I don't believe that postmodernism is the right approach. Neither do I believe that it is the wrong one. There are times when I think like a nihilist, there are times where I act like a Christian. There are times when I do none of the above. Hell, maybe there are times when I believe in something.

But never for long.

It sounds more edgy than it is. I just don't have a guiding ideology, and drift aimlessly. I use philosophy to amuse myself, not to solve my life.

To be honest, I've equally used it to search for answers. Or just to learn about it. But I never decided to just adopt X and stop. As I've said, it's like reading a fiction book to me. I can't stop, I always need more. Different, more exotic, more familiar, anything.

I can't give an answer to what I believe in.

Ok. Pretty much same, but this is a philosophical stance. Anyways what does it mean that thes are “just other people’s ideas” wouldn’t “just other ideas” be more accurate? And if they are logical why don’t you believe in them or at least sympathize with them. Anyways, your “meta-philosophy” is not a new one. People are calling you a postmodernist, but it’s not an uncommon worldview.

>> No.15325104

>>15324980
A postmodernist thinks there is no such thing as objective truth, reality is subjective and you can change the nature of reality simply by choosing to alter your interpretation of it. For example, I believe god exists because this morning I feel like being a christian and christians have faith god exists.

If he's a Christian, he can't be another thing at the back of his head. Similarly,
postmodernism doesn't ring about my head as I live my life. I don't think that I'm right at this moment, that this is the final answer. Maybe, somewhere out there, is the objective truth? I'll find out tomorrow. And then I'll probably leave it for something else.

You clearly value life more then death.

This constitutes a part of a worldview, therefor your claim that you have no worldview is wrong.

Perhaps you are right, I am not particularly attached to believing in nothing. It's just that no ideology sticks with me. They are more like fanciful daydreams to me, real for a moment or two, but ultimately changed like a pair of clothes. Is life worthwhile? Well, I have never been particularly suicidal, but then again I have been self-destructive.
