but I think you should answer my question before expecting me to answer yours.

In pursuit of my own interests is why I do anything. Well, it's why any of us do anything. However, the rewards system of our neurology is not evidence for any hidden meaning or morality.

But I'm sure that you for whatever reason find defending nihilism worthwhile.

I'm not defending anything. Nihilism is a realization, not a lifestyle. I don't live like a Nihilist, as I've stated that I'm not a practicing Nihilist (usually people who destroy their bodies and have unprotected sex without any consideration for its consequences.) and even so, that is not really "practicing" Nihilism... that's just how some Nihilists choose to live. I don't know if Nihilist is the right word to call me. I don't believe in meaning or morality or God or spirits or any of that. If that makes me a Nihilist, as it most likely does, than I am mostly a Nihilist. That ties in with Objectivism, Existentialism, etc.

And there is no point in comparing opinions, according to nihilistic logic, yet you do it. This proves to me that you aren't thoroughly nihilistic, otherwise in my opinion you should really visit a good psychologist.

Then it comes down to this make believe idea that if you don't believe in morality or some kind of objective meaning, you aren't allowed to pursue any goals that can't be logically explained. Why am I not supposed to take drugs? I like how the drugs make me feel. I don't need to rationalize the feeling, the feelings occur and I exploit them before I die.

However, the greater good is nothing more than an idea. An idea that people give up their lives for, and kill others for. Because life is not as important to them than some idea that doesn't even exist. If we consider Nietzsche type logic, which laid together the foundations of Nihilism, that is a good enough reason to not care about your idea that a greater good in any way is important. If anything, it is, itself, evil. Not evil like Satan. But evil in that it is against the individual interests.

But in the end, maybe it isn't. I can't be certain, but i'm not going to accept that you are. Why sacrifice my own interests for an idea that you tell me is right? If you personally believe it and sacrifice your own life, go ahead. But to have me partake in your sacrifice is where I draw the line. The rational? For my own rational self-interest. Objectivist, but Objectivism sort of builds a morality off of what Nihilism did, which is bring down all morality in general. Nihilism says there is no true morality, so Objectivism says "at least do what you feel is good for yourself, and to make things simple, don't force others to do what you wish, since that invites them to do the same."

Anti-collectivism and Objectivism. Nihilism, itself, is an older idea. Not obsolete, but incomplete. Philosophy itself is evolving. Psycho-analysis is not obsolete but being build upon. Darwinism is not obsolete but being build upon. Nihilism, like any other word, means nothing. It's a symbolic representation of what some people just couldn't describe. Nietzsche helped show it to us. Not perfectly, but I don't think any of us have. Language itself is a barrier to philosophy. Eventually we're going to find that all of these words we have been using are useless. Words, used practically (give me that chair, i'll give you this dollar) are seen at face value as a means of physical benefit. If we didn't have language, exchange would be slowed down. Do we need the language? No. Do we need to get rid of it? No. But then philosophy comes into play, and then all this language just becomes an obstacle, especially towards a Nihilist. He can't just live life without any regard for some higher purpose, he has to explain it to others, and then when he's asked "well, why live at all" we come to a dilemma where all of a sudden living in absence of something that everyone else chooses to believe doesn't make sense.

A lot of word garbage, I'm sorry.

but in the end, Nihilism means that there is no objective meaning or morality. You live life and then you die. No true value is placed. The only value or meaning that exists is made up by you, but it's all relative and holds no value.

Can I be a full Nihilist? well, this is what I believe in so far. As soon as someone can present why this is wrong I'm willing to disband it.
