The reason I posted here is because in this community it seems most people are very intelligent and logical. So it would be benificial to hear your thinking too.
The definition I am going by is here:
http://www.iep.utm.edu/n/nihilism.htm#Existential%20Nihilism. Basically means that you believe life, the world, everything is pointless.
It is only recently that I have considered it. Here is my reasononing so far, I have more thinking to do.
Suppose that you think a certain action is a good or evil one. The reason it is good or evil is because it works for or against some higher up goal or state. The reason that higher up goal or state is good or evil is because it too works for or against some higher goal or state. You can repeat this over and over until you reach a goal or state that has no reason. It would be good or evil just because. So basically there would be no logical reason why this master goal is actually good.
It is still possible that something can still be good, just there would be no way to discover it using logic. Good and evil is a concept that we invented just like god and many other things. BTW I don't think it matters wether or not god exists for this logic. Because if something is good if it "pleases" god, then why is "pleasing" god good?
So basically I think good and evil is something that we made up and most likely does not really exist. I cannot prove that it doesn't exist yet though. But consider this, there are infinitly many concepts that we can invent that could be possible, but yet not be true. So why should we give any of them a chance? But then again why not?
So if there is no such thing as good and evil then all the possible actions we can take are neutral and thus pointless.
Well it is hard for me to communicate my thoughts and I am not much of a writer, but I hope this is clear and I would especially like to hear if any of the logic is flawed, as well as your opinions.
