What's knowledge? "Justified, true belief"? Belief me and my friends really, really believe in, with some trial and error mixed in? How self serving and unsatisfying and prone to disaster, given critical mass.

I'm not really sure where to take this from here. What do you think the antidote to nihilism is?

I'd need to know how you define nihilism. From where I sit, I see very little of it. The people aren't sceptical about knowledge or reality; they think they have monopolies on it. The people haven't rejected religious and moral principles; they have multiplied them. Harari is a case-in-point; the Martin Luther of the WEF religion, posting his theses against the enlightenment-era doctrines of the great Western normie.

If you mean nihilism in the Übermensch sense--of tearing down to build anew--I think the only antidote to that is extinction, and who would want that?

I don't think anyone wants extinction, but they'll get it anyway and that's what makes Harari, all the multiplications and the imagined monopolies delusional. I think people are in fact full of dejection, disappointment and skepticism, including at themselves. I can only truly speak for myself though. I feel that way and I'm very much more like these people than I would like to admit, but I have to believe I can build anew beyond that in such a way that doesn't necessitate me tearing down everyone else first.

I've never been very compromising and even normal conversations with me feel like battle, often. I just try to have a good time and speak my mind. When I get harassed by police or tricked or screwed around in whatever way at least I can then believe it's not my nihilism being expressed.
