Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living. Descartes has examined life and yet finds that the unexamined life was more “pleasant,�� more “peaceful,�� more worth living

Discovering life is meaningless is not nihilism for Nietzsche; rather discovering life is meaningless and yet going on with our lives anyway is nihilism.

Autors paskaidro, ka nihilism nav ne pesimisms, ne cinisms, ne apātija. Nihilism ir gan mājās, gan skolā, gan darbā.
For now that we have improved working conditions, now that we have health care, 40-hour work weeks, sick leave, vacation time, photocopiers, and coffee machines, there is increasingly little left for us to hate about work other than working itself.

Nihilisti necer atrast kādu faktu vai patiesību, kas ļaus dzīvot ar mierinājumu. Un mūsu attīstītās tehnoloģijas ir līdzeklis, lai "atslēgtos" no ikdienas.

Nietzsche argues that science is not the enemy of religion, but is instead a new religion.

Atheists are called nihilistic for not caring about faith. The religious are called nihilistic for not caring about facts. Conservatives are called nihilistic for not caring about social progress. Progressives are called nihilistic for not caring about social norms. Vegetarians are called nihilistic for not caring about farmworkers. Carnivores are called nihilistic for not caring about farm animals.

if the nihilism generated by technological progress doesn’t make us too self-destructive, then perhaps instead it will make us just destructive enough to force us to finally become creative. In other words, if nihilism doesn’t kill us, it might make us stronger.
