JA WestenbergNot one single "free thinker" who told me to "question everything" in 2020 has questioned a single thing since 2024. Turns out questioning everything meant questioning the specific things that made you feel smart at parties.
6L6GC@Daojoan actually questioning everything also requires you to question yourself, your own beliefs, and your own positions. Few will do this.
Carlos Solís@debiani386 @Daojoan Question deep enough, and you eventually land on either nihilism or absurdism. Any other position requires willingly stopping at some point and taking a position as self-evident.
ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIESafter you realize life has no meaning, you then realize you can fill it with any meaning you want it to have. then life has meaning. there's no cosmic philosophical law you are breaking by doing that
nihilism is a temporary teenager thing. it's quite natural, common, normal
anyone who gets stuck in it though, that's a whole other enchilada
