K.G.I. — Khrestinin General Intelligence

Episode 28: Faith In Zero | K.G.I. Podcast

Nihilism is a sickness of a young mind. When you're young you play with the idea that nothing matters because you haven't yet developed the respect that comes from understanding how short and precious life is. In this episode I walk through what nihilism actually does to the person who holds it: why destruction is easier than creation and what that asymmetry reveals about us, why we praise creation and what that has to do with belief in God, what Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground argues about paradise and why it disproves the utopian position, why spreading destruction makes you destroyed and why creation makes you better, what resentment is and how social media amplifies it, and why faith in zero produces zero. The closer: nihilism is a sickness and the cure is personal responsibility for every single thing in your life.
