Nihilism: Signs & Symptoms

This is a display of nihilism and how it has to lie to survive.
Those accusing others of hatred when an honest judgment was offered about races, women, and homosexuality, because they had no other reply, now show how they were projecting fear and hatred on the ones who made them feel it.

Emotion is the only argument Moderns have either to support their own naive ideals, or to attack those who threaten them.

Empathy fully engrossed in sympathy can only accuse other of what it feels in itself.

Placing the behaviour within feminization contexts, the moderns go into fits of hysterics - the temper tantrums of a child who has been denied something it wanted and has no way to attain it.

Self-referentiality.

"One might describe this as “political ventriloquism”: when speaking and listening to this type of advocacy groups, the Commission is actually speaking and listening to itself…"

Another way to think of Nihilism is by first understanding what words, or symbols are.
Word = representation, or symbol referring to a noetic construct, called an abstraction.
The abstraction could be as simple, as primal, as a sensation, a feeling, an image, or more advanced such as a combination of the previous producing an automatic reaction we call an emotion, or it may be more sophisticated and be a concept, an amalgamation/combination of all the previous given an all encompassing, singular, symbol/word, we call an idea, the synthetic complexity of which we call a theory, or an idea(l).
The last may manifest in the form of a word referring to a combination of feelings, images, ideas given an abstract symbol, such as an numerical, or a linguistic symbol, or an image to represent it.

The degree to which these abstractions refer to something experienced, something perceived, determined the utility of the abstraction, and if it is applied it determines success and/or failure, measured by cost/benefit.
Expected cost, versus expected benefit, juxtaposed against actual cost/benefit impacting the organism directly.
It does not matter if the organism acknowledges, or is aware, of this. The cost/benefit requires no validation, no acceptance.
It is incumbent upon the mind to perceive this and adjust itself.
It is the organism that will suffer or enjoy the outcome.

Given this, we can now understand that symbols, which is what words/numbers are, connects the mind to the world, or to use my own favourite terms, the symbol connects the noumenon to the phenomenon.
This is the pragmatic application of words - words as tools, used in science, philosophy etc.

In Nihilism everything is inverted.
This inversion is based on its primary inversion of expecting, no demanding, human concepts, human abstractions, such as God, Meaning, Purpose, Morality in the universal sense, be already in existence awaiting discovery. It's the expectation of a child, raised to expect a parent to come running every time it cries.
Nihilism is rooted in the primal, stage, in mammalian development - a form of stagnation of regression back to that infantile stage.

Now, the utility of symbols/words is also inverted.
Instead of connecting mind to world, or noumenon to phenomenon, it attempts to connect world to mind, or phenomenon to noumenon. this slight alteration creates the delusion that everything is subjective, or the psychosis of retardation, that expects the world to adjust to human abstractions, to obey human symbols/words/numbers.
This is why the Bible begins by stating, using words, that 'first came the world', rather than the act, given a word/symbol.
All paradoxes are the product of this confusion, mistaking words, and their application, for the actual phenomenon, the apparent.
The misuse of language is the foundation of Nihilistic delusion - a very seductive and comforting delusion.

Nihilism, the concept, is itself a Nihilistic inversion.

This inversion makes Nihilists vulnerable to a world they deny, or reject, or misunderstand, and this, in turn, makes obsessed with dependencies, and always pro State, or pro any authority mitigating between them and the world that does not care what they think of it.
Institutions that adjust the cost/benefits so they can continue living in their inverted delusions.
It also forces Nihilists to be liars and hypocrites, or schizophrenics, because they cannot actually live in accordance with their own inverted delusions.
They must, lies to themselves, compartmentalize, making certain their principles do not hinder their reasoning, from doing what must be done to survive, which inevitably means contradiction their own nihilistic inverted ideals. They enjoy this as paradox, the mystification of whatever they wish to cloud in a haze of ignorance, so their duplicity is not discovered, not only by others but, more importantly, by themselves.
To discover this would break them psychologically, mentally, risking their survival, so the brain enforces strong defensive measures to prevent this form happening.
This is why you cannot reason with a Nihilist.

Artificiality
Another definition of artificiality, as it pertains to Nihilism, and modern humanity, is as what can only identity in reference to something man-made, within human environments, and cannot identify, self, outside, or beyond these premises.
A Modern refuses to define the words he uses, particularly those he uses to identify himself, or to find self-worth, in relation to other, outside human premises.
He refuses to go outside Humanity.
It is always within humanity that he finds identity and self-esteem, because his words are meaningless beyond it.
He evaluates himself, in terms of popularity, and his quality in terms of pleasure others provide for him – his fame and fortune.
His identity does not exist, outside human linguistic lines.
He disappears the moment he steps beyond human, memetic, lines.
This is why he insists that all is subjective, and a social construct, and why he must seduce as many humans as possible; this is why he is reactionary, finding in the hatred, or opposition of others, a reason to feel real; this is why his words have no connection to anything outside human constructs; this is why his power extends only to the limits of human presence that shares the same linguistic references.
The Nihilist disappears without humanity, sharing a linguistic code.
His contrivances vanish when there is no other human to validate them against.
World, for him, means Humanity. World begins no more than five or six thousand years ago.
God created world means, to him, man created himself when he invented symbols.
His character, the caricature he pretends to be, only exist there.
His power remains within the realm of humanity, where his words can seduce and manipulate.
His philosophy is political, marketing, psychology, art, and nothing else besides that.
When confronted with such creatures best you step aside and let them wear themselves down with their own, desperate, performances.
Allow them to speak freely and openly, exposing the depths of their depravity.
Let them shatter themselves upon their own artifices; let them jump upon their own cutting words.

Let them expose themselves, hoping it is only the image you see.

The relationship of Feminization with Nihilism, and how the feminine births Nihilism
Feminine is a set of attributes expressing a sexual reproductive role.

This role is dependent on others of its kind, particularly in large-brained species where gestation continues after birth, due to the inefficient of evolving birth canals large enough to accommodate a fully matured offspring, resulting in the female's hip to waist ratio.
Females are genius in reading and maneuvering within their group's dynamics.
For them it is a matter of survival.
Nihilism and its multifarious variations, have no existence, no meaning, outside brains.
It is a reversal of experiences, existing as pure noumenon, spreading from mind to mind.
It can only reproduce linguistically, it only has utility in relation to those sharing in its meanings, therefore it needs minds that can understand the representational meaning of symbols, and that share the same language.
Human is the only organism, we know of, that has this ability, therefore for Nihilism world is humanity, and humanity is world.
Its range of effect, its attraction/repulsion potential is limited by the number of minds sharing the same symbols, and the images, feelings, emotions, these are associated with – meme.
In other words Nihilism is contained within the group that can share and exchange ideas, or noumena. It is dependent on the group for its survival, and propagation.
Nihilism gestates and births ideas, being pure idea, and nothing more than that.
Similar to genetics, memetics are combined, mixed and synthesized to create new ideas, with no reference outside minds.
Each mind becomes a womb within which a new world is gestated. But a world needs to be populated, and so the quality of the idea is measured by the quantity of minds it attracts into it – the only way it appreciates itself.
Maneuvering within group dynamics is what is called politics.
Being able to read one's place within the group, evaluating one's status, ones value in relation to others, is called psychology.
Social manipulation, rising in status, is called marketing, and money is the 'tangible' evidence of one's worth in relation to others, within the same group.
Money has the quality of words – abstractions, symbols, that are earned, in relation to other, and are spent to acquire, from other, what is needed – building an image.
Image is the inter-group character fabricates with money and words, representing how the individual wishes others, in her group, to appreciate her.
Image is meaningless outside the group that shares the same abstractions and the meaning attributed to them.
It validates itself through the emotional feedback it receives – repelling those that threaten it, and attracting those that contribute to its continuance.
It uses feminine methods to seduce, to defend, and to test its place within the group.
Lacking an external reference point to test and validate its abstractions, to identify itself within reality, it is left with minds sharing the same semiology, a shared language - meme.
Nihilism, born of a stunting of psychology, retains the methods of children and females who are forced to be dependent on others of her kind to carry out her specialized reproductive role.
The relationship between feminine psychology and Nihilism is most obvious in Abrahamism and its surrender to an abstracted ideal masculine entity, named god, and in Marxism, the secularized version of the first, and its surrender to State, and an abstracted ideal Humanity.
Males are returned to the womb, Humanity/God when they cannot deal with the world beyond.
They revert to a child-state – emasculated.
They begin using feminine ways of identifying their self-worth - image, social status, their attraction potential.
The group sharing a meme, a language, is the limit of their world.
They use words to test, to manipulate, to repel and attract, and to measure their own value.
They attract by being positive – repel by being negative.
The reaction of other humans validating their value, they adjust their words to achieve the required effect.
Words not connecting to world, beyond the tribe, the group, humanity, but contained within its boundaries.
Sympathy is the higher virtue, for it indicates communion, unity... the truth of their own existence.
Nihilistic ideas have no existence outside the minds that can share their meaning, therefore sympathy is the construction of a web of connected minds into a noetic reality – a clan/cult.
Popularity, monetary wealth, fame and fortune in other words, is the extent of their world = their power of attraction/repulsion.
Beyond these boundaries their words are useless, powerless, meaningless, so they must expand their filed of effect by proselytizing more and more minds that can be manipulated, infected with the words they use.
Words that are impotent outside these minds.

We can compare this to herding, or schooling, in other species.
Numbers of the same kind creates a wall of flesh and blood between the individual and the world beyond – a sense of safety.
Zebras also use similarities, such as stripes, to disappear within the herd - confusing any potential predator.
In humans this herding becomes a noetic wall of flesh and blood, constructing a cocoon, held together with symbols. Within this manmade shell man can live in a reality other than the one beyond it – see modern socioeconomic systems.
If the meme is nihilistic this internal space/time may contradict the world beyond it, producing an alternate reality held together with shared symbols.
If directed it can be a formidable natural force, who is created by producing minds incapable of dealing with the world – irony.
Nihilism is a political method of creating codependent minds, unable to cope with the world on their own, and then directing it to cope with the world as a unity... just as a solitary zebra would have no chance of survival outside the herd, but within it increases its survival potential.

Detachment from reality simplifies the individual's integration within a group that increases its survival potential – dumbing-down as a strategy of staying alive.

Self-Hatred as Hyperbolic Self-Love
Self-Hatred, no matter the exaggerated, pretentious outer performance, is about returning to forgetfulness.
A crossing of the river Lethe into oblivion.
A desire to disappear and be forgotten, to forget while still alive, carrying the memories of your past as genetic and memetic code.
Self-hatred numbs itself with pleasure, hoping to dream its present away, before it disappears, leaving nothing behind.
Lover of self want to pass on his memories, through procreation, through creation - he wants to fertilize a womb or a mind with himself.
Lover of self appreciates self, in relation to world, which includes humanity and his place within it.
The insecure, self-hater, must exaggerate self, validating his hyperbole by exploiting and manipulating other humans, evading world beyond those he can impress and trick with words.

Self-hatred idealizes forgetfulness, wants to detach from past, because the memories haunt him, remind him of of what he is; what he despises.
Self-love wants to recall, return from memory to lucidity; make present what is fading in time.
He wants to clarify, make distinct and obvious.

the Modern Nihilist will contradict himself repeatedly, not only with deeds, but with his own reasoning.

He will say that appearances are superficial, and that no human can be judged on appearances, and then he will declare appearances as indicative fo a surpassing, an overcoming of nature.

So perplexed by the gene/meme conflict in himself that he will believe what he contradicts with actions, and he will refuse the apparent, when it is naked, and then based his ideals upon it when it is dressed up in human symbols and apparel.

Dressing up an ape, for him, means what lies beneath the clothes is overcome by a thin layer of fabric and learned behavior.
For him it is permeable to exist in the confusion of fashion trends, than in a world where he cannot cover his past, and forget about it.

In nature, or outside any willfully established and controlled, environment, each subjective evaluation (judgment) of circumstances (interactions), had consequences (good/bad) which affect the judging mind immediately (shallow event horizon - short-term), or in time (long term, deeper event horizon).
Consequence refers to the sum of all costs and benefits, perceived or not, acknowledged or not, understood or not.

The organism evaluates its situation, judges it, and then acts in accordance with its conclusions, its estimations - subjectivity is the word used to describe this process.
Costs/Benefits are the outcome of this judgment, and action (choice made), reveling the judgments quality, in relation to that which was judged.

In the area of race mixing, a choice is made based on the judgment that race does not exist.
In the area of aesthetics a judgment is made, based on the assumption that beauty is 'in the eye of the beholder'.
In both cases there are no severe consequence the organism knows or does not know,; no costs to its judgment, because it's judgment is safe from them - or, rather, all costs ought to be harmless to the subjective mind, so as to equalize bad with good judgment, and to eliminate or reduce, the severity of the costs due to a mistake, founded on a hypothesis which is wrong.

The Modern, as the most passionate proponent of Nihilism is obsessed with the artificial production fo parity.
His ideal world would be one where all choices, all judgment, would not face the severity of the possible negative costs, so as to make all judgment, and therefore, all judging minds, equal.
So, if race is not a social construct, then society OUGHT to intervene upon a choice made, founded on a mistake, an error in judgment, to force it to become so.
and if beauty is not a arbitrary judgment, but an appreciation with deep implications, then society, the sum of all humans, must intervene to mitigate between the judging mind, governed by a genetic unfit mutation, of a sexual dysfunction, expressed as a fetish, so that the consequences will be absorbed by the collective, so that the individual does not suffer the costs, but only enjoys the benefits.
Hedonism as Marxism = equality of deserved pleasure.

That the appreciation of beauty is not arbitrary but indicated superior gens, health, fitness, reproductive potential, and is not simply a aesthetic fetish, a matter of individual quirkiness, that need not be explained....just as race is but pigmentation, indicating nothing more than that...is the Modern ideal.
An ideal founded on pure abstraction, inverting reality, the experienced world - an ideal detached from reality.
Utopia, as the secular form of Paradise, imagined as a state of peace, abundance, eternal pleasure wit no need/suffering - infinite positive benefits with no negative costs.
Equalization of subjectivity.

Unable to argue against reality, or those that argue based on it, they adopt the infantile methods of slandering, not listening, not agreeing, cynical dismissals...all thinking that silencing those that contradict them, will, for some reason, rid them of the world they describe.
They are convinced, that logos, describing reality, can be contradicted with logos, describing a utopia with no contact with anything outside mind.

Intuitively they feel insecure about their own ideas, and ideals.
They support social interventions that places itself between real and ideal, to protect the delusional mind from the costs of its own bad judgments.
They obsess over the moral, when it describes a sharing of the burden...meaning the severity of negative costs, on those born with inferior minds, repeatedly producing bad judgments, evaluating incorrectly.

Without this social net, they would face the natural outcome, of multiple bad judgments,a accumulating until there is no longer any need for debate.
Modern leftists, Abrahamics, insist on preserving a social safety net to produce the illusion that all is equally subjective, because no negative costs ever burden the individual, but are shared by all.
Entitlement and cynicism, is a byproduct of social sheltering.

Modern (nihilist) : subjective judgement are not equal, but they ought to be, they should be, to bring about the perfect, ideal, world.
Beauty, ought to be, in the eye of the beholder, so that even obese, ugly, people, can hope to find sexual gratification, and experience primal pleasures, rooted in human nature, which is then denied to accommodate every fetish, mutation, dysfunction.
Race ought to be no more than a construct, a superficial aesthetic indicator, like fashion trends, with no deeper genetic implications, to accommodate all peoples, into a harmonious, whole.
Judgment ought to be the equal to all other judgments - taste, evaluation, preference so that the naturally produced disparity between organism is slowly erased.

This ought is a moral imperative....making all positions in conflict with it, immoral.
How will this 'new world' this ideal world come about?
By interfering on natural conflicts, competing judgments (naturally selecting intelligence) and mediating upon costs/benefits to share the costs, leaving the individual with a equally distributed benefit - Marxism: equality of pleasure potentials - parity in pleasure opportunities.

The disparity produced naturally, with natural selection, ought to be corrected, intervened upon, so as to offer equal opportunities for pleasure to one and all.
How?
Again...by intervening between ideal and real, or the subjective mind and the objective, which is world in flux, adjusting negative costs, and positive benefits by sharing the costs and equally distributing the benefits.
A change is logos - re-defining words.

Those that resist, will be shamed, slandered, ridiculed, punished, ignored, and if this is not possible, they ought to be silenced by any means necessary.

The attack that 'he says so' might be a simple statement of the obvious, but what it implies is that all say so, therefore all is equally valid.
An inability to present, evidence, convincing arguments, reasoning, is substituted with insinuations, emotional appeals, attempting to trigger.
God said so, and the world was created. this "logic" is applied throughout...even in minds that believe they have overcome their faith in Abrahamic deities.
God is converted to state (marxism)...it says so. then it is reduced to the collective (democracy) where anyone 'saying so' is just as irrelevant as anyone else 'saying so'...therefore we must all agree, to 'say so'.
World is still a product of  logos, word, not word a product of world.
What has logos, is Creator. Animals excluded. They are created, subject to human logos.
First came the word and the word was God.
He who can convert ideas, concepts, into symbols, words...into logos, is, by definition logical...a creator god, of his own destiny.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] inverted from connectors of mind with world, or the idea/ideal to the real, into world connected to mind, the idea/ideal to the real.
This slight modification makes all the difference.

Since world is described and defined by using words, and all humans use words, then all words define and describe the world equally well.
Therefore, to have an opinion, a judgment, and to express it, makes it no different than any other opinion and judgment.
Empiricism reduced to the level of word-games....if they say anything contrary to the parity of judgment, not established through a collective agreement.
The only acceptable way to determine a superior, or better judgment, is with the agreement of the majority.  
No other way is acceptable, when it places the standard outside a collective.
Therefore, anything that is unflattering, hurtful, to the majority, or even to one, in its extreme phases, ought to be ignored, and silenced...or cynically ridiculed....because there is only one way to judge a opinion and that is by the quantities of judgment that are eventually placed in agreement.

Philosophy, psychology, art, anything dealing with the human condition is restricted to expressing the trivial, and the lowest-common-denominator.
Superior arguments, evidence, logic, reasoning are disregarded as being equal to any argument, any expression of reasoning, any form of logic.
But world cares not for such humans artifices...so what are these Moderns to do?
They ought to force all to bear the burden of the costs to inferior judgments, creating an internal parity of cost/benefits, where inferior judgment is combined with superior judgment, to deal with the severity of the costs, allowing the benefits to be distributed equally, and in accordance with individual needs.
It's a continuation of christian primordial sinfulness, and Marxist economics.
All are equally evil, in relation to Christian morality, only when those who cannot abide by Christian dogma, are put on equal footing with those that can - any slight or not divergence, is an indication of parity.  
Marxism equalizes using the allocation of the products of work.
All workers will enjoy the efforts of the collective - the lazy ones, compensated by the extra work of the more loyal worker, and all shall shae in the outcome - good and bad....and the deficiencies.
This is how the Soviet Union fell. Eventually the better worker could not justify working more than the lazy bum, and the slow decline towards deconstruction began when the collective costs were more than the collective benefits.
Christianity evades this problem by making the issue one of the individual's relationship with the One God.
All are equally sinners, but some will find salvation in faith, and others will find hell in the after-life.
Benefits are postponed, or projected in an post-existence, existence. All that remains is a collective burdening of costs.
Church, Catholic, is what they cal this collective burden. All are equally sinners, guilty, and so no one can judge another, on this earth.
Judgment happens at death, where the severity of costs and benefits is returned.

The Modern understand the objective, which is another way of saying world - the objective, the motive, of words is the approach to the world, an management with world, an understanding of world - as the evil, Satanic antipode/antithesis to God as word.
God declares, using words, the creation of world, but world, as it is experienced, resists God's will.
Here we substitute God, with human, as a secularization of the same nihilistic process.

The only thing that can resist the logos of God, him'saying so', is another will 'saying so'.
The same Biblical dichotomy, described metaphorically as God versus Satan, the fallen angel, is converted to any other linguistic conflict, of wills.
World, as that which resist the good intentions of the modern's nihilism, can only be the result on an opposite logos.
What is resisted is the annihilation of world, to bring about Modern Utopia....Paradise on Earth, described in exactly the same way: no need, no suffering, no conflict, not inequality, no disparity, no divergence.

How can they explain 'evil' in Christian delusion?
In the same way they can in Modern Utopian Idealism, by making it the product of a negative other will.
World, resisting humanity's words, is now the product of an opposite logos.
Their 'saying so' on par with an opposing 'saying so'.
The indifference of world, as independent of all words, is evaded.
This objective, is described as non-existent...all is a product of logos...all is equally subjective.
Their inability to compete, to outperform, to offer compelling, arguments, evidence, reasoning, is replaced with an accusation of equality, where the superior is reduced to the inferior.
The delusional alternative, being proposed, is now just as rational as that which refuses to bend to humanity's will.
Absolute ONE finds parity with absolute NIL.

Degrees, is replaced with a demand: prove to me God does not exist...or prove to me, absolutely, the veracity of your judgments, even if I cannot offer anything comparable.
Christians avoid having to prove their God, by attempting to put the burden upon those who expose their incompetence.
They have turned the tables in their secularized attitude.
Whereas they show no such severity in other areas, they demand proof, but not beyond reasonable doubt, but beyond all doubt - absolute...otherwise their own opinions are just as likely as any other.
Christians have adopt this as:
Prove, beyond all doubt, God does not exist, otherwise I reserve a right to believe in my God.
The negative, as doubt, becomes evidence, an argument in itself - a positive assertion.
