Existential Nihilism; the solution to all of our problems

[Mary Terry]

Is this the right time for a cartoon? I love these cartoons...

Existential Office

from Existential Comics

I used to work there. Thanks for the laugh!

Ever read Dilbert? That's most offices right there, @Mary Terry! I think I'd prefer the Existential Office. While also exasperating, at least it's intellectually interesting!

Dilbert was hilarious. My mother, who never had a job (outside her home) in her life, couldn't understand why we working kids found it so funny. She couldn't relate to what an office environment is like. I used to cut out the really funny ones and post them in the office breakroom.

So what is not a spook? according to Stirner, just Stirner,...

(Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me...?

)

Stirner, died in 1856. He's most definitely a spook now.

What if he's just fertiliser?

Nihilism has been making me impulsive. I still sorta care about college and don't want to thow all that away. When I am out I probably won't have anything to hold me back from living more and more like an impulsive degenerate

That sounds a little more like hedonism than nihilism, depending on what those impulses are

The devil made me do it?

It's an expression related to putting the blame for your own actions outside of yourself.

When I am in a very nihilistic state of mind some self restraint goes out of the window and some self destructive behavior starts. It's not hedonism as i am not having a good. It's something that happens, I don't know where the matter of blame comes into to the picture. Right now my life style wouldn't indicate that i want to get very old.

If you're still in your 20s, that's just called 'business as usual'

Look into maladaptive coping and see if you can find a reflection of your behavior there, there's resources on how to deal with it. Nihilism is not inherently self-destructive. That comes from something else.
