Life « Nihilism: "Most people, accepting the textbook definition that nihilism is “a belief that nothing means anything,” have no concept of why it is useful. However, if we look at the primary error of humankind – an inability to tell reality from fantasy, illusion or misperception – we can immediately see the value of nihilism: it strips away all arbitrary values, except those physically inherent in the world, and returns us from a delusional human world to a focus on life as an ongoing process. Nihilism is “a belief in nothingness,” and since most people live exclusively in fantasy (even if of a socially-prescribed and “scientifically”-justified type), they have little use for something that negates what they take for granted."
