I’ve noticed a common misconception here: many are confusing optimistic nihilism, existentialism, and even adding absurdism into the mix. While these philosophies share the view that life lacks inherent meaning, they differ significantly. Existentialism emphasizes creating our own meaning amidst an indifferent universe, often underlining the existential challenges this entails. Optimistic nihilism sees the lack of inherent meaning as a liberating opportunity for personal fulfillment. Absurdism, on the other hand, introduced by Albert Camus, confronts the contradiction between our search for meaning and the universe’s inherent meaninglessness. It advocates for embracing life’s absurdity and living passionately despite it. Understanding these distinctions is key to appreciating the unique perspectives each philosophy offers on life’s inherent lack of meaning.

Nothing matters, there is no meaning! So go out there and make your own meaning! Make yourself and those you care about as happy as possible! Because it's all going to be over soon! Make the most of it, it doesn't matter!

So true! Ya know what? I just quit my job and instead become a criminal! Who cares about other people wanting to keep their stuff? We all die one day anyway so let's just all fend for ourselves and exploit the good hearted people trying to believe in humanity

What is fascinating? Is that atheist can believe all of this, but have more faith that the universe somehow had somehow arrived with living beings while claiming religion is a farce. The amount of faith needed for gravity, oxygen, among others to be perfect for the universe to somehow appear is outlandish. Before anyone tells me why religion is so wrong, answer my prompt first

Optimistic Nihilism give’s Nihilism meaning because you found something that gave you joy in life

Absurdism makes Nihilism meaningless, since you decided that life isn’t a nightmare or gift it’s just “Absurd”
