  • Resumen

  • Are nihilists correct? Is there a point to anything? Are there any effective counterarguments to the nihilistic assertion that life is meaningless? There is little to be found in terms of solid logical counterarguments when it comes to arguing against a nihilist. It always requires a leap of faith, because the nihilist has the intellectual upper hand. The leap of faith involves building your own meaning and hoping that that’s enough; chasing your own dreams tenaciously and hoping for the best. After a few decades, when your dreams unfold, the nihilist may still have the intellectual upper hand, but you’ll have the better life after having shown that even though life may seem (or be) meaningless, it is still worthwhile to pursue something that you consider meaningful, as it leads to a better life, however temporary and fleeting, and that is really the most we can hope for when it comes to countering nihilists. Having the logical upper hand is not the holy grail of winning, necessarily.

    In the middle of the podcast, I provide a way to turn the nihilist perspective against them: the nihilist case for striving to pursue your own meaning.
