minus-squarewallmenislinkfedilinkEnglish87•2 months agoNothing matters (so do nothing because there is no reason to do something) Nothing matters (so do anything because why not!?)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink44•2 months agoI consider myself as mostly existentialist (nothing matters, so find your own meaning), but absurdism has a strong pull, I must admit.
minus-square@samus12345linkEnglish25•2 months agoExistentialism doesn’t necessarily claim that nothing matters, so yours sounds more like optimistic nihilism, which is very similar if not identical to absurdism.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•2 months agoThanks for pointing that out. I was trying to be concise and keep in style with the OP, but I may have gone overboard there.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•edit-22 months agoBecause I didn’t know absurdism, I read the second one differently at first: [The] nothing matters. And I immediately had to think of this gem: “But it doesn’t do anything!” - “No, it does nothing.”
