"For too long we have been dreaming a dream from which we are now waking up: the dream that if we just improve the socioeconomic situation of people, everything will be okay, people will become happy. The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged: survival for what? Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for." Vicker Frankl best quote..

I am fascinated with nihilism but it also makes me sick to my stomach.

'Sorrow is knowledge, they who know the most must mourn the deepest o'er the fatal truth, the tree of knowledge is not that of 3:13 "What is this that you have done?"

I should say I have enjoyed Academy of Ideas videos. Jung and Nietzsche have great ideas couched in difficult language and these videos clarify.

I have adopted the atheistic view after trial and error, i.e praying to the Hebrew/Greek god, trying to demonstrate my faith, but I simply came up short time after time, but I do not think life is meaningless, maybe some people would consider me a pantheist, but I enjoy nature, and this world i believe is a living, (so to speak)breathing thing. I have only one "go around" and I will definitely make it worthwhile enjoying time with close ones and being content with the little things in life. Since I took this view I am starting to appreciate this time here a bit more than when I was a theist.

Nihilism and materialism seem to be equivalent terms this century.

I find the comments here just as mentally rewarding as the lecture its self! Wonderful source of knowledge for people to indulge in instead of the massive social sites which are nothing more then a waste of time to keep them in a false reality, as good little sheep in the confines of the fold.

I've noticed thinkers like Nietzsche, left behind great ideas when he died.
Therefore those ideas were his meaning all along, and his ideas live on and continue to inspire.
Therefore making Nietzsche a icon of human potential.
We all possess a gift, like Nietzsche's gift.
A gift of perspective and unlimited insight.
This is the very tool we use to find our meaning in life.
When we die, we are gone, no longer a part of this Earthly plain.
However we can create something so inspiring, and universal...
That our ideas can live on even after we are dead and gone like Nietzsche's ideas are.
In conclusion the meaning of life, is to find your gift and give it to the world, in hopes to inspire people to give life to this world full of death.
We are born into this world without a say, screaming in the blood of our mother, however we have the potential to redeem ourselves through finding our gift and doing our best to inspire people to do the same.
A revolution is coming in this earth. It will bond everything as one. our power as a race, each and every one of our brains contains a gift a idea that can shift human consciousness into something better than what we are going through right now.
So I encourage every one of you to find your gift and be obsessed with it, because when you die, your possessions won't mean a damn thing, but what will mean something is what you left behind, your legacy, your passion.

My question that has always been and still is 12:38 that if there is no meaning to life why bother making it fruitful or worthy of living..if we are to end up dead no matter how one chooses to live

5:16 'Ever more people have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.' ... and visiting a church once a week for sermons to brainwash the people into a belief of immortal paradise ... that is meaning to live for.

Life is meaningless; however, it does have purpose: intrinsic to its own "beingness" taking the form of a relatively "absolute" manifestation called life.

If it can be empirically proved that death isn't absolute annihilation, then nihilism must effectively collapse. There is abundant proof: hypnotherapy, remote viewing, and testimonies of 4 and 5 yo kids who can *still* psychically see (and yet haven't lost their seeing with the otherwise typical loss of such with the advent of learning a language and tuning into a given culture) describing for example what someone they knew in family looked like and who just died whereupon the day after the adult finds out it's true.

Suffering is just as persistent as any other experience in the range of the human pathos. It will forever be a *vital* part of life.

The right understanding of the Hindu Vedas (Advaita Vedanta), the teachings of Buddha and later, Nagarjuna, Tibetan Dzogchen, and Taoism, all realize that the Two Worlds described here are utterly integrated---the one finds it's counterpart in the other.

Any idyllic world notion is oxymoronic, since perfection would become colossally boring. As Leibniz said, "This is the most perfect of all worlds." (perfect in its Blend of perfection/imperfection.)

Now, there is no way I can be absolutely certain about the above. The only thing I can be absolutely certain about is that I can't be absolutely certain about *anything* . However I'm confident enough to state that I'm probably on the right track.
