    If your nihilism doesn’t make you happy, you’re doing it wrong. The absence of meaning should be a liberating factor, not a limiting one. It’s actually dope as fuck that there’s no greater purpose to your life, you can never fail as a person when there’s no standard you feel you have to meet.

      Definitely. I think of it as “positive nihilism” or something like that.

      The fact that meaning and purpose, as we think of them, aren’t an inherent part of reality and are literally in our head… it’s liberating.

      basically life is minecraft: there’s no goal, we have to give ourselves reasons to live, and we can make those reasons precisely whatever the fuck we want, and that’s what makes it so fucking brilliant.
