Great read/watch to start the day! I've always fancied myself a stoic, a concept which I think blends nicely with optimistic nihilism. People devote so much time to pondering the imponderable, and not enough time focusing on two heavy little words in this video: "so what?"
-We come from nothing and we will return to nothing. So what?
-Everything is meaningless. So what?
-We're just brains in vats. So what?
For me, the answer to "so what?" is usually "keep going!" (borrowed from Badiou). I might add "leave the place better than you found it" and some form of the Golden Rule/Categorical Imperative.
In other words, even though life is meaningless, I'm still looking forward to reading more of your posts!
