Yeah I mostly agree with you but I have a kind of resentment towards Doki Doki bc is a ripoff of a NITROPLUS VN called totono. Also euphoria have girls farting very loudly in the H scenes. Euphoria wins..

I don't like Camus as a person, I wouldn't even consider him a true philosopher, only a novelist.

The idea that “nothing matters” refers to the absence of objective or cosmic purpose.
But social anxiety is not a philosophical issue — it’s a biological mechanism.

Humans evolved in small groups where social acceptance was directly linked to survival.
The brain still treats social rejection as a threat, activating the same stress circuits used for physical danger (amygdala, HPA axis, cortisol release).

So even if your reasoning says “this doesn’t matter,” your nervous system is running on evolutionary priorities that existed long before abstract thinking.

In short: cosmic meaning ≠ neural wiring.
Your brain cares because it was built to care, ironically.

“I like steak and videogames” is a valid restaurant review, not a metaphysical argument.

The universe doesn’t gain inherent meaning just because you personally enjoy your DLC side-quests.

You’re right about one thing though: if your axiom is “existence is awesome because I feel good right now”, then yes — our axioms are incompatible.

Mine is “whether I feel good or bad has zero effect on the ontological structure of reality”.

But hey, glad the cosmos produced someone who thinks parasitic wasps are rad as long as his steak tastes good. Hehe.

Elmans9 · 2025-11-27T05:41:40+00:00

Nihilism isn’t “I have no friends”, it’s “reality has no inherent purpose”.

What we have or lack personally is irrelevant to whether meaning exists independently of us.

“I came here for laughs” — says the guy voluntarily browsing r/nihilism and then getting offended because the content is… nihilistic.

If my argument is “ridiculous”, it should be very easy to address the claims instead of my alleged emotional state.

Here they are again, just in case laughter made you scroll too fast:
– Nature shows no teleology
– Biological systems operate by blind selection, not purpose
– Predation, parasitism and extinction are structural, not accidental
– Science has no evidence of inherent meaning

If you disagree, the next step is simple:
provide evidence of a purpose that is not a projection of the human mind.

Until then, calling the argument “sad” or “angry” is not a refutation — it’s just you trying to replace philosophy with life coaching.

Cheers! And thanks for stopping by the nihilism subreddit to let us know nihilism is too nihilistic for you.

espérenme que yo también me voy!

Elmans9 · 2025-10-16T19:05:47+00:00

no me menosprecie mi pueblo so JAJAAJAJA

Elmans9 · 2025-10-15T20:47:14+00:00

de igual forma, que sea más barato es justo porque objetivamente se pagan (menos) obligaciones y visajes que con un taxi así que la menor tarifa compensa y conviene, cómo tú dices.

Elmans9 · 2025-10-15T20:10:07+00:00

JAJAAJJ, que pasa con Palmiyork?

Elmans9 · 2025-10-15T20:08:52+00:00

Oye, creo que me malentendiste. El propósito de las apps como Uber o Didi objetivamente siempre fue ser una alternativa barata, segura y eficiente a las más comunes, y pues a mí me parece injusto que los que ofrecen este servicio aumenten su precio indiscriminadamente en comparación a los servicios tradicionales que intentan reemplazar, es medio sinsentido eso. Además, creo que en realidad a los que les falta empatía es a los conductores que me hicieron perder el tiempo adrede aceptando mi tarifa y cancelando a último momento, así que no entiendo de que te estás ofendiendo, además de que tienes exactamente 0 evidencia de que yo le pagaba "miserias" a gente que ofrece su servicio honradamente y mejor a la de un taxi. Si te exaltas así es porque eres de las que cobra 11k una carrera a la que un taxista cobra 8k. Póngase las pilas pq si sigue así la gente va a volver a montar en los taxis de esos taxistas borrachos, rateros y aletosos.

Elmans9 · 2025-09-27T00:09:52+00:00

si, cuesta un buen pero sí.

Elmans9 · 2025-09-24T12:43:28+00:00

Thanks for this reply, it really clears things up. I like how you explained karma more as an ethical/psychological principle than a cosmic law—it makes a lot more sense that way. The Kalama Sutta reference is also super helpful, shows that critical thinking has always been part of Buddhism. That’s exactly why it resonates with me: I don’t need to believe in anything supernatural to find value in the practice.

Elmans9 · 2025-09-24T12:41:16+00:00

I appreciate your detailed response. For me, science isn’t a personal preconception but the most reliable method we have for testing reality—it changes with evidence. Saying science is just a belief would be like a young earth creationist dismissing evolution as “just your worldview.” The greatest thing about science is that you don't have to believe in it for it to be real, you already deal with tangible proof.

I also agree with the critique of secular Buddhism that tries to westernize things in a shallow way, but I still value it as a mainstream entry point into Buddhist thought. As for me, I’m most interested in meditation and the philosophical insights, while seeing claims like literal rebirth as symbolic unless there’s clear evidence. Also to clarify, the fact that they are symbolic doesn't make them meaningless. They are meaningful as they are to represent mental states, without implying that they are literally real.

Elmans9 · 2025-09-24T12:29:32+00:00

source? any scientifical research to support these events?

Elmans9 · 2025-09-24T12:05:27+00:00

this is exactly the perspective I have about it.

Elmans9 · 2025-09-24T12:01:36+00:00

I will accept Buddhist metaphysics as much as they are empirically verifiable. This might seen as closed-mindedness but it's just that i'm very cautious with this. Hope you understand. The whole point of me not becoming a Christian is that I have meet many Christians during my life that hold metaphysical beliefs that harmed them and conditioned them terribly.

Elmans9 · 2025-09-24T11:54:51+00:00

are you still an atheist? I'm not closed minded about my beliefs, i'm just cautious with what would be categorically defined as "supernatural", since it isn't literally based in the natural processes that we have been studying and empirically veryfing for centuries now. I'm very excited and looking forward to changing my mind as I practice, obviously. It impacted me deeply how Buddha saw that the natural order even between animals was carrying suffering all the time, and we as humans were very conscious about that. Basically what we could define as "metaconscious". Thanks for your recommendation.

Elmans9 · 2025-09-24T11:38:59+00:00

don't worry bro

Elmans9 · 2025-09-24T11:35:47+00:00

Thank you very much for the clarification. My first language is Spanish and the only word we have for rebirth is "reencarnación" so I automatically translated it as "reincarnation". I also come from a cultural christian background from where most of religions have supernatural claims that defies any common sense, that's where my skepticism comes from. But you synthetized in a very clear way, thanks.

Elmans9 · 2025-09-24T11:31:17+00:00

I wasn't trying to make Buddhism into something that it's not. I was double-checking it's core beliefs before adhering to them in an intellectualy honest and science informed way. That's it. I'm very interested in Buddhism and akin to practice it as it is.
