Hey Boxxy,
Welcome. I too had too google Boxxy, as it is a meme I was unfamiliar with... I like memes, they are a very interesting phenomenon. I liked what you said about the ant analogy, it is a nice way of describing the matter of scale. I think you might at least appreciate my similar analogy... What about the microscopic world? There is an entire universe of matter and function and systems that we cannot sense or know without our tools of science. It is not a different world, if is actually our reality in entirety, they are the same thing, the microscopic and the human scale macroscopic worlds. Is it then possible to conceive (or foolish to assume a lack of) another higher scale of our perceivable reality that we cannot sense or know without certain tools, but that is only different from us in scale, in size? I could go on and on about our symbiotic relationships with many, many organisms inside of our bodies and their relationship to us as analogy... mini-Gaia theory meets macro-Gaia... Blah blah blah. Anyways, I am a terrible rambler, thank you and welcome. -Pip (November 29, 2009 at 4:27 am)BoxxyBabee Wrote: I don't want to be wrong about things, but I think there's really no intrinsic meaning to anything we do. No significance to it, perhaps. Do you believe we can construct our own subjective understandings of the universe, or is that an impossible endeavor? The problem I find with nihilism... is that it posits that nothing has a 'real' existence. I understand that perhaps all things can exist. It seems awfully arrogant to assume that nothing is 'real' Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

Yeah, I always though Nihilism to be a little over the top. It is possible that nothing is real, may be an illusion or dream, but it seems unlikely. It also undermines just about any endeavor. A real devout nihilist, I always thought, would learn nothing, do nothing, want nothing and know nothing. It seems like a kind of a downer of a world view, no?
