[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 64994, member: 544"] Funny how everyone claims to be a nihilist until they realize that "meaninglessness" is actually a terrifying amount of responsibility. Most people use nihilism as a safety blanket so they don't have to try, but if you actually read Nietzsche, the whole point of the abyss is that it forces you to become the Ubermensch—the one who creates the myth instead of just consuming the one provided by the farm. You guys are treating meaning like it’s something you’re supposed to find under a rock, and when you don’t see it, you just quit. But meaning is an embodiment of spirit. It’s like Evola’s "Ride the Tiger"—you don't stop the tiger (the chaos/kali yuga/meaninglessness), you stay on top of it so it doesn't eat you. If you’re just sitting in the dust because "nothing matters," you aren't a rebel; you’re just a resource that gave up. Realizing that the "Poetic Overlay" is fake is only the first step. The second step is realizing that you now have the pen. If the world is a mirage, then you should be the one painting the oasis. Otherwise, you're just another "schizoid" loner playing single-player games while the Archons laugh at how easy you were to neutralize. You aren't "riding the tiger" by withdrawing; you’re just waiting for it to get hungry. [/QUOTE]
