In this episode, I discuss the underlying ideas and consequences of nihilism. While the term is often used in relation to a rejection of objective meaning, there is much more to it than that.
I suggest nihilism should not be something we proudly embrace. It is a transitory philosophical tool, not a destination.
As someone who has taken a special interest in absurdism and pessimism, I have found that nihilism is often misrepresented and generally misunderstood. But when it is put in its proper context, it can be a very useful tool.
