Existentialists and absurdists can both believe in meaning and value. Nihilists™ -also- do that, but they do it at a detriment to their position. That's the negotiation I was talking about before. People who call themselves nihilists, yourself included, qualify their nihilism. Moral realism is interesting even if it's false because, if false, then alot of other things that nihilists, for example..do accept as a part of that negotiation, must also be false. The existentialist thinks that we can create real value. The absurdist thinks that there's some real value that exists, but not in this world.
Quote:I also notice you have a highly developed subject specific vocabulary and post with confidence. Are you qualified in philosophy perhaps?I learned it in order to argue against moral realism, on these boards. Turned out a different way.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
