I was listening to a Radiolab episode recently (link & description below) that was all about nihilism and why it seems to be having a moment right now. Â Â It got me thinking about the difference between Buddhism, with all its talk about how nothing is inherently existent, we're all going to die, etc., and proper nihilism. Â Â
The difference? Buddha nature! After we strip away everything, there's still a luminous layer of reality according to Buddhist teachings. Â

"Horror, fashion, and the end of the world ⊠In this episode, first aired in 2014, but maybe even more relevant today, things get weird as we explore the undercurrents of thought that link nihilists, beard-stroking philosophers, Jay-Z, and True Detective."
