If you want to understand the meaning of life in the most logical way and putting away any emotions, yes, nihilism is the logical answer. Our lives have the same meaning as the lives of people who died 2000 years ago and nobody remembers. We will be forgotten and nothing we do is even relevant, since our time in here is like a second compared to the universe existence.

With that said, there's a reason most nihilist people still follow the average life script and don't just commit suicide, and that's because of our nature. Our nature forces us to search for pleasure and happiness. We don't want to live a life thinking that nothing matters. That's also the reason many blackpilled people eventually become redpilled or bluepilled, it's just against our nature to accept a total defeat and give up on life.

So even if you think that nihilism is the correct answer because it is very logical, it will eventually destroy your life. Absurdism or Existentialism are very similar but with a much more optimistic view. They basically say that life has no inherent meaning, and that's a reason for YOU to create it's meaning.

I'm not implying that you can be delusional and life is great for everyone. Lookism and the blackpill are very much real, but to a certain extent. You cannot think that only "Chad" gets to experience happiness, that's just wrong. So you should use this knowledge to improve your quality of life, but don't live in agony because you'll never be as rich, as handsome, and as relevant as somebody else.

Don't obsess over an ideology thinking that you must believe it totally and never question it, just to not get called out by somebody else as some "fraud". You only live this life once, don't sabotage your only chance in it.

TLDR: Our instincts won't let us fully give up and be happy at the same time. That's the reason many people who are deep down any realistic or pessimistic ideology tend to escape from it eventually. Our brains need to feel there's a purpose and hope left, even if it means to "cope".

I found a way. But here is the problem. Because of the discovery, strange things are happening. Not necessarily terrifying, but more so a warning to back off.

I've said too much.

Nihilism is lowkey cope but it’s true but like most nihilistic pepole really ain’t about that life and I try to avoid it because I know I’m one of the chosen pepole so I can’t waist my life

I am blackpilled, but if we take this in the absolute way, then no one here could ever experience "real happiness". We all will eventually need to cope if we get too obsessed with not being "Chad".

When in this position, its best to go all the way through the tunnel of the unknown to the other side, always. Its a test. Ignore the warning signs, they want to hold you back.

If you know, you know.

exactly, that's what I've been thinking. I have everything to live a life above the average Oofy Doofy, yet I'm torturing myself with nihilistic thoughts and an absolutist blackpilled perspective
 
You can know that there is no purpose to life and still do whats pleasurable to enjoy it as much as possible, why do you have to kys?

It doesnt matter if you actually kys or not but you dont have to do it and neither will you want to when you have everything a human really needs

That aligns with Absurdism and Existentialism

Not really i didnt say you have to "create meaning"

There is no need for any just have fun

And does nihilism tell you to kill yourself NOW because there is no meaning? I dont think so and if no then those are just expansions on it

They can do things during your slumber. Not only that, they can wear our flesh like we wear clothes. But having a detailed convo with them is considered a waste of time, from my personal perspective. And thus, the answer isn't what we're supposed to seek but rather be who we are. That is the truth. Can we trust them?

Will they ever find me?

Let's see what happens when we do this...

it's not that nihilism "tells you", but it often leads to. It's like when people say "blackpill ideology doesn't tell you that it's over, so you shouldn't feel bad about X", an ideology can have many interpretations brother

That's not nihilism, that's Absurdism

Nihilism does, because it leads to detachment from the world.

Absurdism or Existentialism don't go against human nature, because they make you care about your life

A man is freezing and can’t move. It’s that cold. He’s heavily wrapped in attire for extreme climates. An odd feller approaches him. But he's only dressed in beach trunks, despite the foreboding whiteness surrounding them. He bends down to Mr. Frosty and says, “You’re going to Scentakka. Not much of a populated place, but for your ambitions, it’s perfect.”

That man died at the top of Mount Everest.

Can I prove that story to be true? Absolutely not. There are too many greedy people and some not worthy to ever learn about anything outside their pathetic, selfish existence. Those people gobble up anything and everything they can. So they get nothing. And the place they go to, ugh. It’s overpopulated.

Now, can I prove that conclusion to the first unproven story? Absolutely not. But if I could, I wouldn’t because of those selfish people I mentioned.

Probably, but depends if you're trying to sell me something like a seat at a church, or a book, I wouldn't believe you then.
