42. the Answer to Life, Universe and Nilism
the answer to life, universe and everything
got a huge laugh out of this.
- this, is what nilism is.
- nilism is a central thesis in philosophy.
- its meaning, is similar to agnosticism (existence of god is unknowable).
- the gist is, if you don't have a ultimate judge, or criteria, your question is meaningless.
- nilism is also, the philosophy behind sciences.
- but nilism got a bad omen from American Xtians.
- they, equate it with destruction and chaos.
- their thinking is, if you no believe in a ultimate god, then, your world is meaningless, therefore, it is chaos and destruction.
