minus-squarewallmenis@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoNothing matters (so do nothing because there is no reason to do something) Nothing matters (so do anything because why not!?)
minus-squarevzq@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoI consider myself as mostly existentialist (nothing matters, so find your own meaning), but absurdism has a strong pull, I must admit.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoExistentialism doesn’t necessarily claim that nothing matters, so yours sounds more like optimistic nihilism, which is very similar if not identical to absurdism.
minus-squarevzq@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoThanks for pointing that out. I was trying to be concise and keep in style with the OP, but I may have gone overboard there.
