You can call me Ray, and you can Jay, but you doesn’t have to call me Johnson.
Shit fire.
You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, but you doesn’t have to call me Johnson.
My mind moves faster than my fingers.
Well, actually, the jury is still out on that one.
Your assertion that I must prove objective value.
Yes, it does. You claim to have an accurate depiction of the world. You claim this as an assertion. For your assertion to be valuable, meaningful (
), or accepted as correct in any sense other than your own opinion, you must logically demonstrate its correctness. If it exists in your opinion, then you are merely engaging in selfish, narcissistic viciousness.
More to the point, you are breaking the standard of behavior here by insisting I prove my argument while saying nothing about yours.
Why not? To a plant it could be life itself? To bacteria, it may be the whole world. That the world seems strange or even unpleasant to us does not mean it has no meaning.
Yawn
Both do not have to be. You asserted, by way of Nihilism, that there is no meaning. I can prove that, whether you like it or not, there is meaning. Now, you might mean that there is no objective meaning or value. Here, you assume what you set out to prove: that there is no value. You cannot prove this, and as such it is nothing more than you opinion. If you don’t believe in any form of value or truth, why would you waste your time on aboard devoted to debate? 
I see. Disagreeing with Nihilism is cowardice? Interesting. You implicitly devalue coardice in that statement. If you devalue cowardice, then you simulateously implicitly value courage. If you value something, it must have some meaning to you. Which means your Nihilism is fundamentally an illusion you pretend to accept. There is no AByss; you merely choose not to see.
Don’t get me wrong; I don’t know you or whether or not you believe in Nihilism. I merely find the idea rather boring, contradictory, and pointless. When I say “You”, I mnean it merely in the debating sense.
Man, that’s an essential part of nihilism, along with sitting in cafes drinking absinthe, being unkempt, shifting our bugged out eyes from side to side, etc.
“Nihilism” today exists primarily as a term of opprobrium, used by the right. The main tenets of nihilism, as I mentioned, the denial of intrinsic purpose and meaning of existence and objective values, are now so much a part of the modern worldview that they hardly bear mentioning, let alone call for proof.
