The truth of universe isnt nihilism bucko XD. Study some existentialists, watch Jordan Peterson, set structure in your life and adopt personal responsibility.

#

Its normal to have your value structures blown to pieces when r a kid. Just study more and grow up.

Fight club Is an interesting film but you should watch it as a warning of fascism/idiology rather than an inspiration. When you lose a sense of purpose the goal Is to rebuild it And become an individual like So many greath writers suggested, such as Victor Frankl, Solzhenitsyn, Nietszche etc. Engaging in violence as a symbolic manifestation of inner struggle is no way to live.

#

Optimistic nihilism/absurdism Is weak af philosophically. Watch Jordan P. Lecture on existentialism/authenticity if u want some deeper explanations, Its an excelent lecture.

#

If u want read Frankls man search for meaning thats his most fundamentall work

#

Dont waste r time with Nietszche He Is way too complicated

#

Stoicism Is very good too

true oracle
#

imo trying to find purpose and meaning takes effort. Just giving up and saying there is no meaning is usually easier and 'weaker' than actually trying to find your own place and purpose in this world

#

i wouldn't call it a weak philosophy though

#

Well of course

#

But Bro let me share with you an important point from my life

#

You can't "find" Meaning thats just complete bs

#

You have to live it

#

Its not just a rational construction

#

But J. Peterson exlores this deeply watch his lecture that i reccomend

true oracle

#

Its weak philosophically because Is just a conundrum made of few rational arguments and Its weak axiomatically. Read the existentialists if u want a deep philosophy proved through life and experience.

#

Its not a sufficient structure that you can live by long term.
