Here we are, listeners. We have concluded "Meaningness".
These episodes have been narrating sections of Meaningness
which were written during the narration of Meaningness And Time.
The remainder of Meaningness has already aired. If you are new to
the podcast, it picks up from here at the episode aired on Aug 4,
2021, titled "The Complete Stance".
On our next episode, we will begin "In The Cells Of The
Eggplant", by David Chapman, published at metarationality.com. An
exciting milestone. Thank you for coming with me!
Miserabilism tastes like nihilism: “Miserabilism” is the
stance that everything is awful. It's confused with nihilism
because both entail rage and depression.
Nihilistic anxiety opens into play: Anxiety is a natural
reaction to uncertainty. In nihilism, pervasive loss of meaning
makes everything uncertain; existential angst is a response.
Sartre’s ghost and the corpse of God: Existentialism, a
hopeful alternative to rigid meanings, makes wrong metaphysical
assumptions, and cannot work. It collapses inevitably into
nihilism.
