I don't like working.
I don't care for money.
I don't have any interests besides typical stuff like getting laid, booze, eating food, watching movies, surfing and playing soccer.
What do?

Work for a short time and make lots of money.

Retire young.

I never said it was. I said when looked at through an objective lens, suicide is the logical solution to the ennui brought about by OP's state. The world doesn't conform to what brings him happiness; why not just end it? There's literally no reason not to.

My understanding of philosophy isn't comprehensive; it's cursory at best. I always thought absurdism was neat; never really read into it much. No clue about primitivism.

Don't assume people are idiots because they're dismissive of certain schools of thought, slappy.

well, fact is that you somehow need money in order to survive in current times. so either get a 20h part-job or rob senile citizens. i myself decided for a job.

You are permitted to practice your beliefs so long as they don't infringe on other people's rights or beliefs. I'm talking about stealings, killings, violence not drugs. You have the right to report bad behavior and there's a path to dealing with evil that doesn't involve violence.

News flash fagget; unless you wanna 'live off the land' off in some remote woodland area, you WILL need money, therefore you DO CARE about money.

Watching movies? Pirate them? Is free? Top lel, who's paying for the comp? Who's paying for the internet connection?

Playing soccer and surfing? For free? Although it might seem "free" on the surface but what about afterwards?v what about the replenishment of lost energy? Your water/drinks? Food? Etc

Booze? Free? Top lel

Getting laid? Ya it's possible but much much harder without spending money. What you gonna do? Try grab chicks to fuck with unwashed hippy clothes?

Where are you gonna live? Who's paying the rent/mortgage/taxes???

Everything is money. Grow up kid.

>Nihilism is stupid. Its logical conclusion is suicide if you're unhappy in your current situation.
What? Killing yourself because you're unhappy implies that killing yourself is the only meaningful action in the situation, when the existential nihilism denies any inherit meaning. Killing yourself is just as meaningless as not killing yourself.

>> No.365775

>>360781
>I said when looked at through an objective lens, suicide is the logical solution to the ennui brought about by OP's state.
This 'objective lense' is based on reasoning through axioms which produce inherent meaning. This is not nihilism in the philosophical sense of the term, you are still guided by an objective truth that produces inherent meaning, which existential nihilism denies.

If all actions in life are inherently meaningless, then why does this give me justification for killing myself? The act of killing would be equally as meaningless as the act of living?

Why not loose the 'ethical' part and just have egoism. I think amoralism would be a better philosophy for /biz/. Morality seems to be a secondary consideration in the pursuit of profit, I'd rather not sugger coat the idea by adding 'ethical' at the beginning.
