So there isn't objective morality huh? Well that's a good argument I think, I mean I'm willing to say that people are usually unable to be make objective decisions but what about universal truths? Murder seems like something everyone should agree on as a bad thing.. right?
Nietzsche wrote,
"...the pathos of 'in vain' is the nihilists' pathos — at the same time, as pathos, an inconsistency on the part of the nihilists."
It seems like nihilist views are contrary.. life is meaningless and we shouldn't even entertain a thought of concern or interest because its just fooling ourselves.. that in itself seems like a desire to explain life which some might mistake for interest or concern..
I'm curious about contemporary nihilists and wonder if they stay true to their philosophy in their actual lives.. it seems to me that a true nihilist would wish he had strangled himself in the womb.. its too cynical and apathetic for my taste.
..interesting...
