    Personally, I just remind myself that we’re all going to die anyway and nothing will matter after that. It weirdly keeps me going.

        Teachings of Nihilism have saved countless lives, I believe. And it’s not like they are ought to poison the brain: often than not, it’s just the tool to get out of stalemate.

          I first heard about nihilism from The Big Lebowski as a teen, and it’s kept me from “booming” myself multiple times throughout my life. My line of thinking is that if I went ahead and clapped myself, I wouldn’t be able to see what happens next. And nothingness would be leagues more boring than waking up, playing videogames, and having conversations.
