I'm confused on the meaning of "meaning" in this diagram. And wether or not the first question is one on knowledge or belief?
Actually, the more I look at this diagram the more I find it to be bollocks.
Best regards,

I too am hung up on the word MEANING. Why does there need to be "meaning", why should there be "meaning", and to what or whom is there "meaning"? How far reaching is that "meaning"? Furthermore, who cares about that meaning?
Depending on how I answer that, I end up in "humanist", "nihilist" or "naturalist".

Relativist, apparently.

existentialist. That is only because I find nihilism as a tool or perspective rather than an approach to life.

The hell is going on here?
Nihilistic existential determinist.
And you'd have to be stupid to be an existentialist without also being a nihilist.
