Nihilism: Signs & Symptoms

Worship of the un-real, the surreal, that which cannot be presented as phenomenon nor expressed using 'common language' is an indirect method of worshipping death.
It is death worship masked as positive perspectives, feel good outlooks, and pseudo-intellectual jargon.
It is a way of manipulating vanity, not as an outlook but as a cover.

Same as when a moron purchases a nonsensical piece of f-Art to adhere to peer pressure and the popular image of enlightenment.
Th buyer has no clue, nor can he make sense of what he is purchasing, but does so to pretend that he does....like the books on the bookshelf of his 'study' is supposed to imply that is is cultivated that he knows and he understands.
Best we can hope for from such douche-bags is that they know and can defer and refer to, such as Hume, Nietzsche, Spengler, Schopenhauer etc. as if they actually understood, beyond their subjective, emotional interactions.
Like a Liberal who listens to Wagner without a clue as to what he is listening to and what it means.
I would say that all Nihilists re clueless about their theoretical naive utopias, because they have no experience with them.
They exist as mythological, literal, realm their naivete can escape into.

Like the theoretical world where no conflict exists and all are equal and nobody suffers.
It's the self-serving hope pushed to its compartmentalized extreme.

Worshipping the dead is the idolization of those who cannot answer, cannot contradict, cannot challenge.
Dead thinkers, dead ideas, dead ideals; theories with no pragmatic success, no precedent, no reference other than in theory, as idea(l), as noumenon.
Death worshipping is the worshipping of what cannot contradict with presence, cannot respond.
It is the overtaking of presence to substitute it with theory, with ideals; with naive, infantile fantasies – mythology taken literally.
Ideals constructed in the mind, like toys – and have no application outside of it.
Manchild, Hebrew ideals, attracting only infantile womanly spirits.
They are ideals of the slave, dreaming of a fast and easy escape from his predicament.

Transsexualism and this recent invention of new terms to describe gender identities is part of Nihilism and its implied occult esotericism.
What does the transsexual claim?
That his/her identity is a subjective construct, and he would rather be the one who decides.
His reasoning is based on an innate, invisible, internal 'spirit', or soul that feels out of place in the body it occupies or in the identity it was given by society – collective subjectivity.
Tangible physical body is replaced by intangible, theoretical, spirit.
(S)He also claims that language is inadequate to define what he is, or how he feels, and that new words have to be invented to define 'it', or that old words have to be redefined, or used in unconventional ways.
The same dis-ease expressed through a different symptom.
A dis-ease linguistically based and passed from host to host – memetic virus and/or parasite.
Because language is what defines culture, or meme, it can then be claimed that all social identities are a matter of symbols – referring to abstractions.  
This relates to money and how it has been detached from the gold standard.
With no tangible standard to evaluate money in relation to other commodities the concept of money becomes entirely abstract, and because everything can be purchased using money, everything has an abstract value founded on a shared judgment, or a personal (subjective) one.
Furthermore, since money refers to numbers, and they are a type of language, therefore everything is a matter of social conventions or personal judgments.
Money can refer to anything and purchase anything... and so all language can be applied to anything, and define anything.
Marxism and Capitalist materialism converted to the abstraction of symbols (numbers/words).
It follows from a simple premise: all can be converted to symbols, and all symbols can be detached from the tangible and made abstract, therefore all identity can be invented and connected to feelings, whims, fashion, or whatever standard the individual, or the collective chooses to use.
Misers still practicing shameless usury.
The delusion that money can compensate for everything nature denied to the individual, and that the individual can sell his/her body, sacrifice it, to buy a new spirit, and pay it off yearly.
Debt slavery is the primordial sin converted to Marxist/Capitalist economics.

The meaning of value is lost to subjectivity.
Its true meaning is a reference to a juxtaposition in relation to a tangible goal, or in relation to the self and its physical needs/desires.
Now it can mean anything, to anyone, at any time.
Bread can fluctuate according to supply/demand becoming the tangible, but what of intangible concepts, like love, fame, truth?
These can have any cost, because it's all subjective.....therefore all must be made subjects and all attempts to make them tangible is to deny them their subjectivity.
Subjectivity is code for American individualism - freedom. Freedom from king and country, from god, but more importantly from the past, and from its determined manifestations which are present - presence, or appearance.
Money can buy you freedom from your authoritarian past, made apparent.
It's a liberation from the apparent, and an escape into abstraction, the intangible the theoretical....the subjective, or esoteric, occult.

The weakness the virus exploits is found in this anxiety concerning the inescapable past, and in the desire to flee from it, to be freed from it, because the past is not 'in the past' but it is presence.
What is the only factor that makes absolute determinism fail?
Chaos, defined as randomness.
But for the feeble spirit this is worse than a determining and dissatisfying past.
Fear, becoming thymos and Desire, becoming eros, clash - fragmentation, a shattering of the psyche.

Similarities between the triad, Judaism, the mother, and the offspring Christianity and Judaism:

Besides the common reference to Abraham as their spiritual father, and Jerusalem as the worldly seat of their shared references, their primary commonality is founded in their status as Religion - not to be confused with spirituality and doctrines such as Buddhism and Hinduism.
Hinduism, in particular is an Aryan spirituality, and Buddhism is a later development, similar to how Christianity relates to Hellenism.  
---All three worship death and dying, indirectly.
---All three are expressions of positive Nihilism.
'Positive' nihilism proposing a linguistic contraption, a symbol, that negates the sensually perceived and experienced world.
---All three believe in an absolute.
Absolute beginning & end.
Absolute one, whole, order, certainty (faith) - absolute order given an anthropomorphic essence, and in the case of Islam and Christianity a form, image - icon.
Judaism refuses to conceptualize their abstraction,l Islam refuses to depict it, and Christianity, affected by pagan idolatry has no qualms.
Christianity is the outcome of Judaism coming in contact with Aryanism through Hellenism.
Cross-contamination is the outcome.
Christianity is the contamination of Aryanism by Judaism, and the splintering of Judaism into Zionism and Humanism, culminating in Marxism, is the contamination of Abrahamism by Hellenism.
Christianity selectively adopts Hellenism, replacing pagan traditions, concepts, metaphors, mythologies with Judaic adaptations of them.
For instance, the multiplicity of the dodecatheon and Hellenic narratives metaphysically representing natural forces with deities and heroes, are replaced by the concept of a triadastic singularity (father/son/holy spirit), corrupting the Platonic concept of psyche (chariot rider and reigns and stallions), corrupting the concept of the Platonic ideal and replacing it with their eternal soul, or perfect spirit, and converting the deities and demi-deities with their saints, and Hellenic Heroes, such as Heracles, with their martyrs.
---All three offer 'salvation' from an undesirable existence....differing only in the method and the time/place, and through which representative - Messiah.
Islam and Christianity have their own, and Judaism awaits him, as the coming of Armageddon.  
Christianity, infected by Hellenic love of world and life, has its icon, its Messiah represent the world's redemption.
Jesus 'redeems the world' to make it anti-nature - cleansing it of its past (primordial sin). Followers, 'true believers' the faithful are the saved in waiting - enduring this life to gain access to the more real reality of an after-life - life via death. What dies is the body, the physical, the phenomenon is destroys leaving only the noetic, mind....renamed soul, spirit.
Point of inversion is the nervous system, where body meets mind. there the Christian places Jesus as a representative, an icon, of inversion, of vague transition from body to mind - rebirth.
Mind is eternal...able to pass-on from body to body through language.
Genetic memories are converted to memetic ones, and the idea(l) can survive in any body that accepts god's word = learns to speak and read the language and to decipher its meaning appropriately, in accordance to Scripture, the shares meme.
God survives as Book, and he is made body by the people of the Book.        
---All three have words, written in Sacred Books, as their reference point, which distinguishes them as Religions.
They place 'word' the symbol, as a representation of mind, above the physical, the sensual, the aesthetically accessible.
Mind usurps body, and body is made into a entrapment, an illusion, a vehicle for the spirit/soul, which is their way of saying mind.
From there we get the current denial of appearance, and the idea that some are trapped in the 'wrong body' or that races and sexes are social construct, because appearances are 'superficial'.
Mind is malleable and can create its own alternate reality by sampling the sensually perceived.
This is comforting to the Abrahamic,a s it is to all Nihilists, including the later to develop secular forms, such as Marxism, humanism and trans-humanism.
Mind can synthesize abstractions into any combination and then represent this invention with a symbol, and give it a name, a word, or a number.
Everything can be invented in a similar manner to usurp the real.
Subjectivity raised to the position of Divine power that rejects and then replaces objective reality, natural order - world.
Natural order is associated with the nil, and depicted by evil, - Satan.
In mathematical language it becomes the 0, in opposition to the positivity of the singularity, the one - 1.
One is the mental abstraction projected to replace fluid reality.
It's 'positivity' is really a negation of what is.
The singularity, the one, cannot be found externally, but can be felt, experienced in some internal alternate realm...in the mind, as a vague concept.  This refers to the mental fabrication of the abstraction that synthesizes stimulation into abstractions, into mental models.
What is worshipped is this mental model, conveniently placed internally where none can test it, nor validate it, not disprove it.
It is the platonic ideal made esoteric, rather than projected in an external, beyond realm, where perfection exist and this world is but a mere shadow of it, as Plato believed.  
We must remember that Plato represents Hellenic decline and his depiction of Socrates is of a man that exposes this decline to itself.
The "gadfly" stinging the Athenian rump.
This imagery is not accidental if we connect it to his image of the psyche and the two stallions that represent passions. Socrates is the horse-fly biting the rump of Athenian passions, in an Athens that has surrendered the chariot, the polis, to their frenzy.
We must also keep in mind his admiration for Sparta if we wish to fully understand why Socrates returns to Athens, after the war, as a changed man. A man that has discovered the wisdom of keeping quiet and not sharing his thoughts with the masses of mediocre minds that do not possess his wisdom.
He is depicted as monotheistic afterwards, as a necessity for the promotion and maintenance of stability within the polis. The masses need an absolute, a certainty, a singular idea - a simplified/generalized idea(l) to submit to.
Multiplicity, of gods, as well as ideas, are a complexity, a burden only the few can bear without drowning in them.
The ideal leader is the one who does not want to lead, and shies away from all positions of authority because he most feels the weight of it - Philosopher King.

Jews have the Tanakh, later writing the Talmud.
Christians have the Old Testament, later witting the New Testament.
Muslims have the Quran.
Unlike other spiritual texts, the Text is the final reference point.
The words are not metaphorical, representative of a externally validated reality, but are the final reference point, as their basis is linguistic, it is the Word, the symbol that does not represent the externally experienced but usurps it, denies it, contradicts it – annuls it.
Word is the final arbiter.
What is word?
Representation of the nervous system's reaction to world.
Like hedonists make pleasure their all-encompassing meaning, placing the nervous system's reaction as the highest wisdom – the effect as a cause.
The nervous system is where the conversion of phenomenon to noumenon occurs.
It is where body becomes mind, through yet incomprehensible processes.
Processes that translate sensual data into nervous energies and then into sensation, emotion, and finally, in higher life-forms into abstraction.
This is the point of mystification, the narrative of holy inception, when the Holy Spirit comes down to earth to convert the mind into body... an inversion of the process.
God, as mind, pre-exist body, and the body is its creation.
Nihilism inverts everything.
It begins with word, and it also begins as mind as the given that then creates the body - noumenon creating phenomenon, therefore the subjective is all, and the objective world is its construct.
Consciousness precedes world, it does not emerge from it.
This is what Abrahamism is.
This is what the dis-ease called Nihilism is.
Everything is inverted and then this inversion is clouded in linguistic ambiguity, and places in a beyond, or a within, where it cannot be judged by the common mind, even if it had the will and the courage to do so honestly.
Meme precedes genes.
Mind precedes body.
Words, language, semiology, precedes reality.

Because world, or what we call reality, can only be conceptualized as a singularity, a whole, a one, the mind falls into the error of assuming it is so.
It's an easy step from a shared reality to a oneness.
But reality is fluid, is (inter)activity, it is Flux, so never one, complete, whole, or a singularity.
It requires an artistic mind to comprehend this.
The majority lack the imagination or the courage.

When we speak of subjectivity we speak of a fluid interpretation of world, but when we speak of world we also speak of fluidity.
This is an additional reason consciousness is constant and never final, never ending.

Mind attempts to keep-up with world - this concept has been described as a 'falling away'.
Subjective mind constantly reaffirms reality by interpreting it.....and world is constantly changing, rearranging, and only exhibits patterns of consistency, relative to a human life-span, seeming eternal.
Our laws of logic and nature are these patterns in patterns that predict interactivity.

This is reflected in the process of interpretation which is based no on/off mechanism, producing binary logic and dualism.
What does on/off mean?
This is related to energy/matter being defined as faster/slower rates of interactivity.
A neural pulse (energy), flows through a neural cluster (matter) and this is the state of ON
No neural pulse flows through a neural cluster, an interconnected neurological network of cells, and this is the state we call OFF.
From this simple on/off consciousness is produced, and since it is the mechanism used to think, to be aware, the mind must become sophisticated enough to realize that this is a mechanism interpreting reality. The artistic sensibility.
This evolution is akin to that which realized that self-consciousness was not an external will speaking to the individual, but the individual speaking to itself - Bicameral mind.
For a primitive mind conscience may feel as if some otherness is speaking to it, when it is a different part of he brain becoming aware and criticizing and analyzing the rest of the brain.
Schizophrenia is an evolutionary step towards full consciousness of self.
A condition easily degenerated to in the case of illness, or trauma.
anxiety/fear, relative to world outside brain, can produce schizophrenia as a self-protective mechanism of compartmentalization - where to contradictory opinions can be held simultaneously as being 'true' - or as a way to distance ego from self - mind from body disconnect.

Approach to the objective means a synchronization of the unity of patterns, as a manifestation of past, harmonizing, with the interactivity of patterns (order) we call world.
This would be absolute synchronization and determinism.
Chaos, or random energies, spoil the perfection and make will possible.
In an absolutely determining universe consciousness would be superfluous, or a condition that would require a god, or an alternate reality to justify its emergence and continuance.
Consciousness is necessary only because the cosmos is not entirely governed by order.
Life is the ordering in opposition to randomness. A constant affirmation of order.

Change is not radical, order is.
Liberal have it backwards because they are Nihilists and this dis-ease is characterized by inversion.  
If they are not constructing fantasy realities using code, symbols, words, they are dismissing all language as meaningless.
If they are not worshipping the abstractions in their deal - idealism - they are indirectly worshipping chaos, as a way to escape past, and its manifestation as presence, dreaming of becoming pure noumenon - spirit, mind - leaving the apparent, the physical, the body behind.
This is the secular form Abrahamic transcendence takes.  

How would we identity such a fantasy concept of pure mind - god?
Through the only expression of mind permitted.....language.
'First came the word'....it is written in their shared spiritual code.
Words help them theoretically escape a determining past, cleaning themselves of 'sin', reawakening (reborn) as pure mind - as spirit in gods Scripture, gods word.
Secular Nihilists make themselves gods in training....finding a master to guide them towards their transcendence using symbols/words.
The idol, the icon, must be dead....so as to not blemish the ideal with reality, and acts as the Holy Ghost did in the Biblical tale.
The mind disconnects from the physical, the brain from the body, and becomes thought.....thought is divine, it is omnipotent.
It is not limited by space/time, by dimensional possibilities.
Absolute Subjectivity.
A reality in the brain usurping the one outside of it.
But such an alternate world needs followers, needs other minds to lend it credence and to become assimilated into a shared project.
It has no other way to validate and maintain itself.  
This fits in perfectly with the cycles of the memetic virus that must infect more minds to survive.
Parasite (see [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]) hijacking the organism processes - dominating its will. Hijacking brain, and through brain the body.
The physical, the body becomes a vehicle validating the idea of an external consciousness - a god.

This is not anything terribly innovative. Nature has already evolved such a reproductive strategy.
Neither is nihilism something unique.
It is the natural byproduct of consciousness producing self-consciousness.

Variations of nihilism, as I've noted, are multiple.....because they have no natural order to limit them.
They are noetic, thought.
Restrictions that apply to the real, do not apply to the spiritual, the theoretical, the abstract.
Of course nihilism re-synthesizes the already experienced of world, so this is its only limit - the individual's real life experiences, its second-hand reading, and its imagination.
Then it becomes a matter of connecting the same abstractions in novel ways that are also positive, and seductive.
This alternate reality must be as sophisticated as the kind of minds it seeks to assimilate into its mythology.
In ancient time with an illiterate, more ignorant populace, the mythology could be simpler.
Gradually it has to become more sophisticated, sampling form increasing knowledge of world, to attract a new kind of mind, but with the same weaknesses and cowardice....the same anxieties.
This is how the secular forms of nihilism emerge.

I'm experiencing the utility of the absent absolute, from all its facets.

We have those who literally use abstractions in their mind, and represented by symbols/words, such as the #1, to justify a belief in it, and then we have the opposite utility and those who use its absence as validation for any and every belief.
For the last the absence of an absolute means an absence of certainty, of absolute truth - an argument from the negative.
Unable to accept gradations of superior/inferior, they resort to a simple method of using the absence of absolute truth as an argument for any truth, for subjectivity.
An opinion is not judged as superior/inferior based on its quality and quantity of references to a shared world but is equated with any and every opinion because man in not omniscient and is still relatively ignorant, therefore, for them, all opinions are equally valid, with the only acceptable criterion being popularity - how many minds lean towards one direction and not the other.

For them this is reason enough to postpone judgment indefinitely.....as unresolved,a s having no final certainty, as being forever debatable.

For example, for Christians their inability to prove their definitions of the word 'god' is converted to a advantage.
It proves their faith, with the sacrificing of reason and logic on the altar of their deity.
The absence of definitive proof is placed on those who are unconvinced - prove a negative, they demand.
Finally, the absence of absolute knowledge is reason enough to not discount the existence of their god.

They then refuse all opinions and definitions as superior because nothing can ever be accepted as such....only absolute certain superiority....never a degree of it.
They dismiss all superior probabilities so as to remain fixed on their preferred possibility.

If there is no absolutely objective, no whole no one, then in their demented psychology, all is equally subjective, unless it is more popular.
Subjectivity is measured as weakness that becomes strength only in quantities.
Qualities are dismissed as subjective.

At the same time they demand that the majority intervene to adjust the cost/benefits of their subjective opinion if and when they dare to apply it, or live by its principles.
Intuitively they know their world-views are emotionally based, and that if they actually lived by them they would suffer grave consequences.
Instead of finding error in their own mind they blame everyone else for the consequences that the majority cannot prevent from affecting them.
So, it's the racist system that is holding their mixed race child back, and their belief that races are social constructs still stands; it's a evil world that prevents the faithful from living up to their own dogma's values; it's the wrong application of Marxism that is to blame for its failure; it's the failing of others that the individual is trapped in a linguistic, moral, conundrum...it's always someone else's fault, because self is never to blame...and when ti is it is placed in equality with all others, because failure must be distributed equally and not be a burden upon the individual.
So, it's not that they, as individuals, are inferior, and weak, but that all humanity is so....and it must be pulled down to their level of inferiority, and weakness....all must fail, if they've failed; all must be mistaken if they've fallen into big mistakes in their lives...all language is meaningless if they've failed to use it properly.

Most of these degenerates do not want a resolution, they worship being lost in confused chaos.
There where they's inadequacies become lost in confusion and their inferiority finds equality in chaos.
The simplest concepts become large philosophical mysteries that have not been resolved because no absolute final answer has been given.
All superior probabilities are accused of arrogance and of presenting the absolute, because their inferiority cannot measure up, cannot offer an alternative, better, answer, a superior definition and explanation.
With no God, no absolute, what is superior has to be degraded and slandered and made to be equal to the feeble and the irrational.

Every opinion is subjective - equally a personal opinion, and any attempt to place the standard outside the mind is rejected, slandered, ridiculed...
Concepts like beauty have to be made subjective because someone may be hurt by placing the standard outside the mind.
Defining concepts like 'love' by using evolution and a pragmatic approach demystifies the word that, for them, must remain mystical and magical and a personal affair.
Defining 'self' as a continuum of memories, demystifies it for them. They need identity to be vague, subjective, mystical, so that men can claim to be trapped in women's bodies...
Defining 'gender' as the memetic application of a genetic, biological, specialized, reproductive role, demystifies it, and takes it away form their subjetification.

Defining any word that deals with the human condition by connecting it to perceptible, testable, verifiable, external behavioural standards is, for them, unacceptable, a threat.
Morality has to remain attached to the mystery of Abrahamism...the "Thou shall not" of a divine omnipotence because to attach it to a evolutionary, social method of survival is too down to earth for these hypocrites to tolerate.
If the mystification of an absolute named God, is absent, then all is left up to the individual's whims - his/her psychology.
All attempts to root it in observable reality is an attempt to present self as a god....in their demented mind.

Unable to offer a superior explanation and theory, the degenerate uses the absence of a final, absolute, certain one, as an excuse to remain unconvinced and faithful to the delusions he has attached himself to in order to remain sane and to not feel ashamed.
Unable to offer a more objective opinion he wants to tear all down to his/her level of subjectivity, seeking emotion, self-comforting, self-flattery, delusion, narcissism, egotism in everyone else - projecting his own guilt, and unburdening himself from its shame.
He cleanses himself with an admission of sin.....but wants to project ti on everyone else, to feel pure and honest in his self-deceit.
He wants to become innocent by accusing all of a crime - all are guilty, therefore my admission is my purification, my weakness is my strength.
All are guilty - but I am free because I accept this guilt.
I am clean because I confess.

The abrahamic dogma..
All must admit to being equally guilty, becomes ....all are equally ignorant, therefore my admission of ignorance places me in gnosis - I know that I know nothing.
All must admit to being equally weak, because there is no omnipotence, therefore no superior/inferior strength, only equality in feebleness - I know I am weak, is a strength.

Every and any absurdity can be justified and validated when you redefine the words that are used to represent them.
Like the words - God, Love, Man, Woman, Morality, Truth, Value, Self etc.

Proper definitions are not only rooted in a collective symbolism, called language, and represented by a text called ''dictionary' reflecting a shared history, but also by a shared reference point in what we call 'world' or 'reality'.

Symbols/Words connect historical past, with immediate presence.
The symbol/word (language) is a nexus connecting gene to meme, in a continuum - connecting noumenon with phenomenon, through sensual perceptions; connecting idea(l) to real.

The advantage of Nihilism is that it redefine words in ways that cannot be proven sensually, forcing the evidence internally where anything can be used as justification if it has some payback.

When the Abrahamics changed the Hellenic definition of the word 'god' they mystified it and made it provable only internally.
Made the concept provable only esoterically - a private, subjective matter of faith and belief.

Abrahamics and secular nihilists, Moderns, do not want top define words externally - they reject all evidence, all relationships that are not internal.
They degrade language, so as to reinvent it, only accepting the dictionary as a necessary part of communication, and refusing all means that are not personal and subjective.  

'Beauty' cannot be externalized and measured using a standard all can be held accountable to....no, it must remain subjective, so that nobody is ever hurt, is ever made to suffer.
Hellenic definitions of beauty, as symmetry and proportionality, are rejected, because beauty, the word, must remain mystical, and only experienced internally - in the eye of the beholder.
'Truth' if it is not absolute, means private conviction.
God, if it is not Abrahamic absolute order, must mean nothing.
'Race', 'Sex', take your pick.
Denying it its potential hurtfulness the individual mind is trying to prevent it in himself.
His 'altruism' is self-serving....and to hide it he must accuse the other of it - his shame is converted to guilt and projected upon the other.

Guilt is expunged with admission, confession....and the making of amends, which usually includes a form of ritualized proselytizing - the world must admit its own sinfulness....means, it must be brought down to guilt, and then it must, it ought, to cleanse itself by admitting to it; all must confess to the same guilt, to bring about the 'good world' - Utopia: paradise on earth.

Although the definition of the word 'god' is nonsense, it is now the endless topic of debate, forcing all into a shared state of ridiculousness.
Just like the word 'absolute'.
How do some attempt to deny the Abrahamic definition of 'god'?
Well by constructing an equal, to it, word - just as ridiculous and absurd.
The atheist is pulled into the theist's delusions, and dialogue is over a word that is nonsensical -  'truth is there is no truth' and 'there is a absolutely no absolute' expresses this nonsensical state of being trapped in Nihilistic rhetoric.

The nihilist has only the word to show as evidence, and his usage of it to express conviction, certainty, emotional vigour, ego, and so on...
He cannot show an absolute - an indivisible, immutable, perfect, whole, singularity - but he can speak the word associated with his feeling, emotion, sensation, abstraction.
Same goes for the words, god, beauty, love, truth, race, sex, and so on....
They all describe an internal process, because they are intentionally defined in ways that have no external reference.
They are purposefully made subjective, to escape objective reality....which cares not.

If you are trying to use words to self-gratify, to comfort yourself,t o flatter yourself,, to masturbate then ti si an easy affair.
Of course those who masturbate know that some form of external stimuli makes the experience more enjoyable, so how do Nihilists compensate for the absence of an external reference?
They place their delusions, their definitions and references in another's mind - usually a dead icon....or in some beyond, or beneath alternate universe.
Fantasy becomes more enjoyable with such projections.

Obsession and addiction to other, to an-other, is the outcome.
Icon is idealized, and if gone, if discredited, it is quickly replaced with a new one.

Abrahamic, made secular humanist - Nihilist - absolves himself of shame by adopting guilt, and then absolves himself of guilt by accusing an-other, or by accusing all of his own guilt.
Decreasing its effect by sharing it.
Neurosis is shame that cannot be expunged by the admission of guilt, and by this method of projecting.

Evaluations of degrees, of a cost/benefit analysis, is simplified to the simpler binary either/or absolutism.
If not all, then nothing.
If, for me, nothing, then nothing for all.
If all for everyone, then all for me.

It's simple, quick and very intuitive.

On/Off switching....dualities, binary.
1/0 - One/Nil
Either/Or...good/evil....Good/Bad...God/Satan....friend/foe....
Conscious/Unconscious.
Sympathy/Antipathy
Love/Hate

Love = perfect, good, absolute positive.
Hate is the negation of it - its inversion.

No gradations, no degrees, no superior/inferior.
It would be like mathematical language minus fractions.

If you love life then life is perfect, whole, complete.
If you show the slightest negative them you negate its love....you hate life.
if you love your family, then they can only be loved if they are perfect, whole, ideal.
If you love your children and wife, they are perfect - they ought to be, at least in your mind.
You must not admit to an imperfection otherwise its a blemish that negates the absolute perfect love.
Subjectivity helps...it's all in the 'eye of the beholder'.
If you love your wife, she must be beautiful, smart, perfect in every ways, otherwise you are admitting a blemish that spoils the ideal, the perfect, the absolutely divine.

Erotic blindness...frenzy of passion.
Not rational agape where the friend, the loved one is loved despite his imperfections and in relation to others and their blemishes.
Either/Or...it all is pure, or it is all tainted.
In the state of lust/love, erotic frenzy, your lover can do no wrong. Everything he or she does is perfect, cute, amazing.....and as passion dissipates over time what was amazing is mundane, and what was a cute quirk becomes an annoying habit.
Now the ex-lover can do no right.

The enemy is always void of all virtues, and the friend always void of vices.

Immunizing against a virus has to be adjusted to the degree the virus has taken hold of the host's processes; how much of its original biology has been corrupted and infected.
First diagnosis is whether the patient can be saved, or if he is too far gone to be returned to his original state.
Second is what parts of its organization can be salvaged and how much has to be amputated - surgically removed.
Third is an evaluation of the patient's constitution, and if its body can take the interventional surgery - how well it can endure the trauma.
Then the doctor has to map out the infected areas with meticulous precision, and keep a steady hand.

The easiest method is to immunize the child before it is infected - preventative medicine.
All other methods are desperate measures.

Cosmetic surgery is always about covering-up, and hiding the accumulated trauma of dis-eases, and/or event(s).
We can include the accumulated effects of interactivity, and the friction, upon the body, leaving behind traces and weakening its ability to repair the damage.
