I am in a big depression lately and I cut myself off all religions and faith systems. I began to just stay in the nothing lane. No point, no meaning and no reason. I’m just done. There’s days I wish I can rewind time. But then there’s days I’d want to just leave, vanish, disappear into thin air. Living check to check, with a good heart, and never winning in life no matter how much I try makes me feel used, abused and thrown to the side. There’s days I wish I can have a car, afford a house and just have something for once but instead the evil people get it all while people with good hearts and hard working go through the worst. It’s like I take 2 steps ahead, I fall back 3 steps. If you’re reading this, I hope you’re happy and not in a dark place like me.

When I was going through a depressive period in my life, I had pretty much chosen nihilism as my coping measure. I saw no point in anything, and I continued to stay miserable. Then one day came; it's a funny story, but I remember seeing a starving street dog looking for food outside. There was a hen in front of him, moving around, but the dog made no move to harm and eat it. Eventually, he walked away hungrily. It was not a big, life-changing scene or anything, but it made me realize that because of a few problems in our lives, we can't just forsake ourselves. Ever since then, I've been trying to get better, and I'm actually doing great.

The interesting thing is, since our subconscious takes place in our brain, it is a part of us. We don’t have control over it, that’s for sure, but making decisions from our subconscious is still our bodies making that decision in some sense. So one could argue that we are still making that decision, even if it’s not free will. Some scientists discover new things accidentally, and they still get recognized for that, even if it wasn’t their intention in the first place. Because they did something, accidental or not, that contributes to society. I’m new to all of those concepts, but i find it all really fascinating. If we didn’t dissociate our bodies from our identity, if we weren’t animals who evolved into an intellectual world, we wouldn’t be so attached to the concept of free will. This left me with so many more questions than answers and i love it

@@are_you_f_serious I respectfully disagree with that last statement. Life without any belief can be a life worth living because if you don't believe in anything, you gain a more objective perspective of reality which can lessen stress and anxiety, as well as provide a "whole" experience that you normally wouldn't get if you fill your mind with subjectivity. Think of it like a monk who has trained themselves to operate under a more objective view of the world (pure consciousness). That is sort of what you get if you were to live a life without any belief, which can be euphoric and thrilling, creating a sense of purpose and well-being. How is that not a life worth living? It sounds much better than being a prisoner of your own mind. Not knowing whether or not what you believe is true, but nevertheless is affecting your experience of reality. That, to me, is not a life worth living. I would much rather live a life of wisdom (knowing there is no truth) than a life filled with my own delusions (beliefs and bias).

"In a world without a God, we have to become Gods amongst ourselves, so we can truly ascend to a higher and functionally better state of being." Something I came up with recently that reminded me to some degree of something Nietzsche could have said, although I am not really a huge spokesperson for Nietzsche's thought processes. Anyway, self-optimization and striving to become better little by little over time is something that keeps me going, despite the realization that at the end of our days, we all gonna dance the dance with the grim reaper, no matter if you're a king or a street sweeper, and by doing so we will eventually return back to earth and lose our personhood. Still, for the time being, I will try my best to enjoy this ride and make my days count. Although admittedly, making my days truly count hasn't been a strong suit of mine in the past years, but my mindset is moving in that direction. Life is over so quickly, you get around 90 years tops for most healthy individuals, and puff, then it's gone. So I will always stay appreciative as long as I can derive some sort of enjoyment and personal meaning from living. :)

I would say this is akin to the idea that God is the ideal, that we should search to emulate. It's seen in Genesis, "God made Man in His image". We've been trying to figure out what that means for centuries. Some take it literally (Since Man looks like that, God must also look physically like man, like in the painting 'Adam's Creation'), while some take it metaphorically (God possesses the powers of creation and destruction, as do we. God possesses the ability of love and wrath, as do we. Etc.) And so, there is the idea that God is an ideal that we should seek to attain. If God is everything, it also includes everything *we* could be. It's extremely antropocentric and, dare I say, egotistical. However, it's difficult not to be overtaken with self-centeredness when so much of what characterizes mankind also characterizes gods. Including selfishness (implied or explicit). I think you would appreciate Carl Jung's ideas on the archetypes, and the archetypal structure of stories. I can make a quick introduction. Archetypes are the "ideal version of a given concept". Ideal, in this case, doesn't mean morally good. It means best. For example, one could say Cain is the archetype of the resentful murderer, while Jesus is the archetype of goodness. There's also the concept of wholeness, where you properly integrate the archetypes. There are a lot of fundamental archetypes within a person. For example, the persona, which is the mask we put on in social situations. It's not inherently bad, since it facilitates socialization and interactions, though it is a surface level representation of individual. There is also the shadow, which is that which is repressed. Childhood night terrors, unfounded dreams, traumas, untold desires (sex and violence, among others), etc. It is important to integrate the shadow to become a monster. A capable monster. But a controlled one. Someone who can control their shadow can do anything. You will see a lot of UFC fighters, such as GSP, who stay true to their character, and are kind, but harness their shadow in the ring to confront their fears and be capable regardless. Or NBA players, like Stephen Curry, who find motivation in insults and provocation, but stay controlled. There's also the Self, which is the entirety of your current realisation AND potential. There's a lot more depth, such as the interplay between all archetypes to achieve "wholeness", which we could represent with another archetype, that of "Jesus Christ". Carl Jung also mentions the "Image of God" often, in relation to humans. So perhaps that is also something that could interest you in your thinking.

That kind of reminds me of pantheism a little bit Which pantheism isn’t a religion (even though if someone asks you what you’re religion is you could answer Pantheism if you want since you think everyone and everything has divinity) but rather a philosophy that God is everything and everyone, because everyone and everything is God Since what you said here seems like a much more optimistic version of “God is dead and we killed him” and it seems more so like you’re wondering If Gods dead then what do we do now? What does that say about us as a species? Also as far as death goes death isn’t a moment it’s a process since we’re all slowly dying and each day is a bonus And once you’re dead you won’t even realize it happened, same as how when you were born you kind of just accepted it happened And that realization is why we’ve gone from the average lifespan being between 20-30 to 90+ years at this point So hopefully that helps you get over worry about death and make it easier for you to enjoy life I really hope you get to live an enjoyable life cause you seem like you have a big heart good luck

I think, my favorite way of thinking it is nothing matters and thats true. The sun will rise and fall with out us. But that makes the great moments and memories fhat much sweeter because we give it meaning

Why do we "NEED" to?

I've had a rough time for a while and I'm beginning to understand why nihilism would appeal to someone. I am afraid of the idea of standing beneath the cross, explaining what I've done and why. Right now I do not want to meet my great grandfather, or have him and others look down on me. It would be very comforting to believe that there is nothing after death and that everything was meaningless from the start. I can't and won't, though. I need to be better. My past mistakes and failures will only make my comeback greater.

Love, and true happiness, and sense of accomplishment etc exist, they may be rare commodities but they do exist. So if ones willing to endure all the hardships that are of being human, then existence is worth the effort. Imo

Unless we are content to let someone else determine our destiny, then we already know why we are here, and where we are headed... There is no confusion regarding self determination: I am here to wage war against those who seek to enslave the rest of us with their lies and deception. Every man dies, but not every man lives to be themselves. What more do we require to validate our own existence? If you have no purpose then you also have no true identity. I'm Spartacus ⚔️

We are here to learn how to be our best selves, and then help our fellow man. Even the simplest of us are able to give. Thanks, forgiveness and love. These are the most precious and lasting.

I think the idea that life is meaningless makes life the most valuable thing. The idea that nothing we do really matters makes me think that it means we can do whatever we'd like with our lives. Sure, no one will remember you 100 years from now, but couldn't that be a good thing? If no one remembers me, that means I should be free to do what I want with my life (within reason).

Totally! Spot on!

Life simply is. As conscious beings we are the products our conscious thoughts. These in turn lead us to perceive who we think we are. It's an unconscious self-created prophesy. Who we think we are thus becomes who we are and physically experience. The key here is to ultimately realize that we are neither the product nor the individual creation. We are simply consciousness itself. The empty space where All exists. I, for one, believe in Love. I may not be able to see it, but I can feel it, sense it. Believing in what I sense I then go on to create it. Being capable of all things our highest and grandest physical creation is Love. It's the All in the All. Allowing for All things. Even allowing us to sink back into the nothingness itself...the human experience of a broken heart. So, what is life? Life is the physical experience of consciousness experiencing itself. Or as Shakespeare so eloquently and simply stated "to be or not to be".

I get why some of us have a tendency for nihilism. It's part of our intelligence to consider the possibility that nothing matters. And as depressed enough as I can be to tag along with this notion, we ought to know deep down that it's a fallacy. Nature is our driving force and it has reason and purpose to justify things that exist. Our skills as humans in society have just the same value as a tree has a role to play in the forest. The fact that some of us may be in such circumstances blinding us from recognising this is sad. But every person has a role to fulfil. Even the worst of us

Whatever purpose you set becomes your meaning. Lack of desires often result in this meaningless life but spiritually if you think about it, desires are what created both goodness and badness. Desires such as greed, envy, longing and etc brings war, crimes but also inventions, marriage and etc. The ultimate goal is not have any desires but only if you truly don't desire, not desiring something deep down but denying it. Still meaninglessness is not bad because that actually truly makes you live in the moment. You need not find meaning in this life but enjoy it as what it is.

Life being meaningless is meaningful in its own way

I can feel the pain in your voice , hope you are ok

LIFE IS MEANINGLESS FOR THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING BUT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T SUFFER ARE SUPERNATURAL AND THEIR PURPOSE IS TO MAKE THOSE SUFFER AND IT GIVES THEM HAPPINESS AND ENERGY OR LIFE.

I liked the mark twain comment , what a legend that guy is !👍❤️

Loved it ❤

Some really deep thinking here!

I'm never sure whether or not these long videos are new, or a compilation of previous videos?

My why we yawn? If we see someone yawn We think of it EVERYTHING in our individual reality is from our thoughts

The story of life is a blink of an eye the story of love is hello and goodbye, see you on the other side.

I’ve always considered myself an “Optimistic Nihilist”. I don’t believe that there’s any point and that nothing I do or anyone will do really had any ultimate grander meaning. And I think that’s beautiful. We do things not because of some greater sense of duty but because we can. I am not nice to my friends and love those I love for any reason other then I want to be. I will die, they will die, we will all die and it doesn’t matter. I just want to do what I can while I’m here because I can. There is no meaning or reason behind what I do but I’ll do it because I can. I have the free will to do that and I will use it to be happy and make others happy. Nothing matters so do what makes you happy and what makes those around you happy.

Nothing matters; and you know this beyond all doubt? When you greet the afterlife, be sure to send me a postcard. At this point, you know nothing. Humility is a virtue, and it helps keep our egos in check. Do not claim to know that you are capable of determining the value of anything, including your own actions and behaviour.

Those philosophical waves, created by a false perception of individuality. We are not so isolated or fragmented as we think. The interaction among thinks are stronger than we considered. And this is result of western economy. Also we can't answer safely if there is or not a transcendent scope. By the understanding that if there isn't a deeper motivation, there isn't action. This is in charge even for a messiah. Motivation have many more forms than we believe. In the technique to balance the facts, the arguments and the evidence, libra lying to the side of meaningfully. Just by the fact of existence is enough.

So are these longer videos just combinations of past videos? I swear I’ve heard some of this before, or it’s Mandela effect lol Either way is fine I still love these long videos but I’m trying to figure out if I’m tripping

I found this going from a documentary to a dissection on fear response.

Regardless of whether life is meaningful or not, as humans we all suffer and that suffering gives us some awareness of the human condition; and it’s only because of our experiences we develop empathy and a moral code to understand that the unprovoked killing of another life is wrong… only problem is some people have a fucked up sense of morality or none at all… look at what’s happening in the Middle East. The senseless of all the violence … that to me makes me lose hope and faith. That feeling of a future that only seems to get worse with time makes me feel like… fuck nothing matters anymore… unless you stand up and be a champion for change.

This version of Ava Maria sounds like Erasure and is sooooo dreamy❤

Many times we all get the feeling that nothing matters and the reason is because what everybody has been taught to believe is important and fun isn’t and vice versa. In other words everything else on this planet is important except ourselves. And if we are no5 the most important thing in our lives then nothing will matter.

Life is meaningless, but so what, it's great fun... and no you don't have to be rich to enjoy the simple beauty of nature, of the human body, etc. Pursue nothing, and you have it all.

Used to preach nihilism until I started reading stoicism. Best decision ever

I was also enlightened by stoicism (I love the dichotomy of control) I now think that although there is no meaning it is up to the individual to create meaning. I think that virtue is enough. Let me quote from my person writing: "I used to wrestle with the question: Does the lack of inherent meaning or purpose to life or the mere fact that there are no objective universal moral truths imply that there is no reason to lead a good, virtuous life, however subjective, according to one’s conscience? Now, I can only say, of course not! Objects in the external world have no meaning or purpose besides what the observer sees. Yet, despite having no inherent value, they exist all the same. Much the same is life, except, unlike the rock, we are our own observers and can give ourselves meaning and purpose. Regarding my other point, isn't it true that if one did not live per their conscience, their conscience would disrupt their inner tranquility? Indeed, this is true and is all the reason to live a virtuous life."

It matters because I said so. Now get out there and live your best life. Don't worry about it. If all this is true it doesn't really matter either way. Just choose happiness.

I think this video gave me some relief , nothing means anything

Life is meaningless until you find it's meaningful then you realize it's meaningless again and so on.

Great vision

The point to life is there isn’t one. Thats the point

I am only 5 minutes in, and this is me all the way. Weirdly, it is very uplifting and somewhat humorous to me.

Great content....background music too loud kill it!

Anybody able to explain why if I minimalize this video (the whole app) it keeps playing on my android (a little window opens, like in the WhatsApp video calls) - and it ain't a case with the Huberman's podcast for instance? :o

There is nothing good with any sense at at all, unless you create it. To be mentally active and creative is the key.

meaining of life is question for beginner thinkers- wanting that someone or something to give them meaning, why do i need any meaning. all i care about is if i m happy or not.

The essence of life are mistakes, our own as well as those of others against us. In reflection our failures and traumas lies the key to personal growth. Whether you believe in a final judgment or in reincarnation or in no afterlife at all, you should make the best of this appearance on the stage of the universe. The only real mistake is to never leave your comfort zone in order to make everything right, to remain on your couch for six days and your church bench for the seventh and getting sedated from the TV and pulpit.

Life has meaning, learn to look inside, always ask for help, not asking is depressive, above all enjoy !

Could someone supply a link to the version of Ave Maria playing at the beginning of the video by any chance?

Its about perspective of the person recently i saw a humpback whale giving birth to its baby ever caught on camera the moment i felt is miracle or beautiful maybe u ask why the whale is giving birth its meaningless but you never ignored the beautiful moments behind it ...have you ever felt in a happy moment like why i am happy its meaningless ? Many people are felt the nihilism in vulnerable moment,sad things happens to them or whether they get jealous on other people they find nihilism is the way to comfort them? Embrace sadness like embrace happy moments...like nolan said don't try to understand everything just experience it... questioning over everything ruin those moments so stop questioning and start living...maybe your parallel universe self is living your dream life think that way

What is the music at the beginning?

Did you do Athenes Theory of Everything?

Commitment is the meaning of life. Ever watch that scene in Resident Evil when Alice realized she was a clone and so was her daughter. Alice risks everything to save the girl and commits herself 100% to the girl. Therefore, have commitment in life in everything you do and find purpose in life.

"Life is meaningless" is always looked at as a negative statement or outlook. That's not the case. Life being meaningless is the most positive thing you could ever say or think. Because you give your life meaning, whatever it is you do. If you want to be sad you will be sad, when you want to be happy you will be happy. If you look at everything from a negative perspective then of course life will be bad and you will be unhappy.

I want to be happy but I'm sad . So should I want to be sad and then I'll be happy?

Why should life have any meaning ? I exist and that is all there is to it and how much control I can exert over reality will determine my happiness.

Holy shit i remmember that post

Good video! I can’t hear the guy talking because of the music playing in back that really doesn’t fit for interpretation.

Here’s my situation, my memory pretty much collapses as it happens, I have burning, pressure and ringing in my eyes and ringing in my ears, I have no real happy feelings, connections with people or the world/community I have no frame of reference as my memory doesn’t form, it’s a painful pitch black in my mind, I also suffer from intrusive thoughts, how on earth am I meant to live like this, everyone says pray or go to the doctors none of this helps. Just want to go to sleep and not wake up now

Please don't mistake a scientific theory for a guess. Even though we often colloquially use theory to mean guess, in science a theory is something that has had an undermountable amount of evidence.

I think we are misinterpreting the free will experiment data. To me, if the subconscious is part of our brains, that means it's still us making that decision. When i choose banana or apple, even if subconsciously i know before the idea forms, it is still a choice i am making. There are a plethora of influences that might go into that decision. Even boiling it down to pushing a button. Also, as far as i can tell, the way we experience consciousness is reactionary to begin with.

Loved this.
