And as a self-proclaimed nihilist, you should know better.
I have pointed that out to him over and over again. He excuses it with "negative" and "positive" rights.
You cant be a nihilist and then claim that rights are "inherent" in the universe, or morality.
I'm an absurdist, so I flat out admit that there is no inherent purpose, morality, governing system, or religion in this universe. With that said i do not thiink that personal purposes (I call them temporary purpose, since they can change on a whim) are irrelevant as opposed to nihilists who claim even personal intent and purpose is bunk as well.
for a nihilist, tiberius sure does argue from some mystical "inherent rights" and bases morals off of them.
"rights" are agreed upon by people, including laws and religions and moralities. none of them are inherent and all are subject to change. THAT is what a nihilist would say. It is also what an absurdist will say....and it is NOT what tiberius is saying.
