It should surprise no one that people suck. The only surprise is that if we killed the sucky ones, we would be the ones going to jail, I thought we would get medals. Or cookies.
If you have to know one thing about me, it's that I'm an Existential Nihilist, which gives me a freedom that I can only describe as sexy. Is anyone gonna remember anything I have ever done 100 years from now? Fuuuuuck no, so join me in unprotected sex, binge drinking and driving way too fast!
Oh yeah, my ass is on the internet. Instead of showing you where we'll play a varient of "where's waldo" known as "wheres zossos' ass?".
Since I know you are way too fucking lazy to do it yourself.
Existential Nihilism
While nihilism is often discussed in terms of extreme skepticism and relativism, for most of the 20th century it has been associated with the belief that life is meaningless. Existential nihilism begins with the notion that the world is without meaning or purpose. Given this circumstance, existence itself--all action, suffering, and feeling--is ultimately senseless and empty.
In The Dark Side: Thoughts on the Futility of Life (1994), Alan Pratt demonstrates that existential nihilism, in one form or another, has been a part of the Western intellectual tradition from the beginning. The Skeptic Empedocles' observation that "the life of mortals is so mean a thing as to be virtually un-life," for instance, embodies the same kind of extreme pessimism associated with existential nihilism. In antiquity, such profound pessimism may have reached its apex with Hegesis. Because miseries vastly outnumber pleasures, happiness is impossible, the philosopher argues, and subsequently advocates suicide. Centuries later during the Renaissance, William Shakespeare eloquently summarized the existential nihilist's perspective when, in this famous passage near the end of Macbeth, he has Macbeth pour out his disgust for life:
Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
