What does everyone think of this? I hate to make such an open ended topic, but I’m just curious if you all think this is a philosophy that holds any value at all in helping us understand anything about the universe? It seems to make some sense to me, depressing as it is, and I’m just curious if anyone here favors it or is sympathetic to it at all. Apologizes if this whole post is a bit incomprehensible.

I really don't like it. It seems like anarchism with a funny hat.

Thanks for your input. To me at least, there's a comfort in nothing having any meaning and the universe just like being completely absurd. Its also depressing though, I’ll admit. I consider myself an optimist, so I’d like to believe life had a purpose, but from an unbiased standpoint, I sort of line up with Nhilism. But then, perhaps we as humans give life meaning, or some other such cliché. That actually makes a bit of sense while still allowing for the possibility of no higher or “correct” morality.

As you can see, I’m really bad at figuring out what I mean, but hopefully you all can take a few gems of wisdom from that.
