I Have Lost All Motivation

My 2 cents - keep studying hard and get into a good college. I know I sound like your parents but hear me out...

It's true life is pointless. However that doesn't free you from being stuck in a flesh machine. Nihilist or not you are still a human animal. You need money. You need it for food, shelter, social validation, etc. Having money problems sucks. Suffering and pain is real. You might say, "but pain is subjective! Pain is just a chemical reaction in your brain!"

If someone stuck your hand in a blender you would care with all your heart and soul. Pain is the realest thing to us rotting bags of meat. Emotions are real. This is the same reason why you can't kill yourself. You're programmed not to through deep negative emotions like fear. It's actually all very logical from an evolutionary standpoint that we ended up this way.

My point is, nihilism does not free you from needing money, or social validation, or prestige. Yeah all that stuff may be stupid and pretentious but that's the world we live in. Based on your grades and stats you're already on a path of success. I would finish it. Don't get me wrong, if you want to drop out of HS and create a startup then go for it.

Can you prove empirically that there is no intrinsic meaning? Is there any way to be a happy nihilist? Am I the only one? When we are a child we are taught that "killing is wrong" and "stealing is wrong". When we grow up, we come to realize that the cops kill more people and wall street steals more things than serial killers and robbers do. This creates a foundational crisis and a raping of the soul. ”I do not negate the world.” Take note, nihilists. I thought there was nothing after death for a lonnng time. Nihilism doesn't mean you have to be depressed. Can one really feel 'happiness' ? I don’t understand exactly why everyone isn’t a nihilist? Is Existential Nihilism Validated by Unbiased Adjustment? This makes me beyond suicidal Suffering is objectively meaningless and existence is utterly expensive. [Personal Rant] How do you want to go out? Who else struggles to make healthy choices? Morality fundamentally doesn't work due to subjectiveness
