You're wrong, Nietzsche is dead.
Therefore he cannot currently be a Nihilist.

>>11005526
>REEE NIHILISM IS EVIL NIETZSCHE WAS NOT!!!! A NIHILIST!!!!!
brainlets unable to discern between nihilism as a condition of the modern world, nihilism as a metaphysical belief and nihilism as endorsement/recognition of the devaluation of morals/etc.

>Hey did you know Dickens was paid by the word? That's why his books are so long and boring lol

>cannabis is bad for you

>people will fall for this bait and think they’re intellectually superior

>socialism is evil

>>11005548
This. Neech was a literal nihilist, but not a philosophical nihilist. Literal nihilism is the logical conclusion of a rational worldview, but that doesn't mean you have to be an "everything is meaningless lmao" teenager

>He thinks his consciousness will survive death

Sweetie...

>tfw I realize I feel intellectually superior for recognizing bait, even though somebody else did it for me

>>11005712
>he thinks he can explain consciousness

Honey...

>>11005722
I never said that. But everything we know about consciousness, not much but still, is that it is a product of your physical brain, and will expire with your physical death

>inb4 religion
Time to grow up

>>11005730
no, the physical brain signifies consciousness in material reality. That's all we know.

>>11005743
We no that nothing exists without a cause. You necessarily must engage in magical thinking to believe it comes from anywhere but your physical brain

no, I just have to accept the mystery

>He thinks he doesn't live in a deterministic universe

Precious

>>11005776
what kind of determinism is that which cannot be determined?

>>11005783
Inability to determine doesn't negate determinism

>>11005785
it kind of does tho. It doesn't negate absolute truth but it does negate determinism.

>>11005794
No human being can account for every potential variable in any given situation. Inability to predict a deterministic future doesn't make that future any less deterministic.

Unless you're purposely being esoteric for the sake of obfuscating meaning

>>11005804
I'm purposely being esoteric for lack of a better approach.

>>11005804
