No... because to "lose faith in nihilism" is to suggest that there is at least one knowable objective truth in the universe. Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

The lifespan of a living being, has meaning.
The lifespan of infinity, has no meaning. 
I have a secret and it is down below!

There is no inherent meaning in anything, to my knowledge.  Quote:The lifespan of infinity, has no meaning. Why should it be any different than a lifespan?

We can either do it basing our intent off of the past, present or future, IMO. Sorry to hear you're a B rate movie. Maybe you should use your budget for a B porn film You miss my point it seems. Yes, obviously, I can, and do, think ahead. I can, and do, think of the future. But that is true with or without free will. I have a will and a will that can think ahead and of the future whether it is entirely determined/probabilistic (I can't control my own will in other words because "I" IS my "Will") or not. I have a will but whether it is "free" is another matter. This is a question of the existence of "free will" not merely "will". EvF

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
