minus-square@vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink44•1 month agoI consider myself as mostly existentialist (nothing matters, so find your own meaning), but absurdism has a strong pull, I must admit.
minus-square@samus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish25•1 month agoExistentialism doesn’t necessarily claim that nothing matters, so yours sounds more like optimistic nihilism, which is very similar if not identical to absurdism.
minus-square@vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink5•1 month agoThanks for pointing that out. I was trying to be concise and keep in style with the OP, but I may have gone overboard there.
minus-square@Kayana@ttrpg.networklinkfedilink4•edit-21 month agoBecause I didn’t know absurdism, I read the second one differently at first: [The] nothing matters. And I immediately had to think of this gem: “But it doesn’t do anything!” - “No, it does nothing.”
