	Nihilism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following: there is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator, a "true morality" is unknown, and secular ethics are impossible; therefore, life has no truth, and no action is known to be preferable to any other.
		In the world of ethics, nihilist or nihilistic is often used as a derogatory term referring to a complete rejection of all systems of authority, morality, and social custom, or one who purportedly makes such a rejection.
		A nihilist is a man who judges of the world as it is that it ought not to be, and of the world as it ought to be that it does not exist.

	Cynical Capitalism : SF Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Nihilist or cynical capitalism that refuses a “human face” and understands its malice as a natural reality to which there is no alternative.
		In this way, the nihilist position effectively establishes a policy of exclusion of large parts of the population and the destruction of nature.
		In its conception of reality, the nihilist system doesn’t and cannot include the population as a whole or nature as a condition of life.

		The choice of the nihilist is, then, not necessarily the choice between living or dying, but the choice between adopting a passive or an active stance towards the world.
		The passive nihilist is one who, when faced with the world's uncertainty, withdraws and refuses to engage the world.
		Fran's development from a passive to an active nihilist is in response to her awakening to this fact.

	How does a nihilist live?
		You won't get the same salary or public respect, but you're a nihilist now, and you recognize that public respect is as meaningless as it is fickle.
		They'll blather on about "progress" and other inventions of the human mental phantasm, but if you recognize these ideas are basically junk food for the mind, you can bypass it and focus on other things.
		Nihilists bypass illusion and work on reality, and from it they get stronger while the herd stagnates.

	[Captured in full from the FidoNet A_THEIST Echo on 1:374/14,Titusville_FL_USA] Msg # 460
		Magical theories tend to proliferate partly in response to the tyranny of materialism and partly because although materialism is self evidently incomplete, the holes cannot be patched with a transcendentalism that is tinged with increasing absurdity.
		Thus in opposition to nihilistic materialism we find the remains of a monotheistic transcendentalism which we find the remains of a monotheistic transcendentalism which is on the way out and a purely magical view, manifesting, for example, in the growth of parapsychology, which is on the increase.
		The model further predicts that the nihilist phase of the rationalist aeon will give way to a new aeon in which the relative strengths of the three paradigms will be in a similar configuration to that of the shamanic aeon.

	Racial Nihilism
		The racial nihilist seeks the egalitarianism of sameness and oneness, and wants all humanity to be the same, the rich diversity of human racial types to be reduced to one uniform type.
		Some racial nihilists are extreme individualists, who only recognize the rights of individuals (and perhaps only the existence of individuals) in a very atomistic sense, not recognizing the rights (and perhaps the existence) of the biological group of which they are a part, whose existence transcends the sum of its parts and is potentially immortal.
		The tendency of dominant ideologies to be intolerant of other ideas or beliefs is a persistent danger, requiring constant vigilance as the price for preserving the historically rare and fragile condition of intellectual freedom.

	Nihilistic People \| CounterOrder.com
		Niccolo was a nihilist in the sense that he didn't allow morality in planning or ethics in his treatise to obstruct his judgment, although he was certainly aware of the implications of his endeavor.
		His modus operandi was nihilistic in that he desired destruction of the polity regardless of any constructive future, or at least it wasn't a concern for the present.
		Undeniably he was very misunderstood artist and individual (a common trait of Nihilists) and part of the reason for that was his tendency to verbally obfuscate explanations and basically sham the interviewers that continually tried to figure out what Warhol was all about.

		According to the nihilist, the world 5 and especially human 6 existence are without meaning, 4 purpose, comprehensable truth, 8 or essential value.

	About me
		Out of all these 6 tendencies, the 6th one is more natural to me. My personality is inherently closer to the 6th tendency.
		Because of the nature of the 6th tendency, I am more inclined to intellectual discussions, and my behavior is not very socially attractive.
		The tendency tries to create distinction between me and the rest by showing apparently differing levels of intelligence, honesty, valiant handling of very suffering circumstances, or some other such virtue.

		The band is influenced by both heavy metal and death metal sounds and the singer's name should not be construed as a pro-Christian message.

		Taoism has exhibited a strong tendency to regress into mere superstitious ritual whilst Buddhism has, at times, appeared in monotheistic guise with the Buddha as a de facto God.

		Finally, his being both pessimist and Nihilist gives him, as a narrator, almost the impassibility of a stoic.
		I have heard that Leo Nikolaievitch has defended himself energetically against being thought to have assumed the title of a mystic ; he feels its danger, and does not think it applicable to one who believes that the heavenly kingdom is transferred to earth.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : Christ and Nothing
		It is, rather, a thoroughly modern religion, whose burlesque gods command neither reverence, nor dread, nor love, nor belief; they are no more than the masks worn by that same spontaneity of will that is the one unrivalled demiurge who rules this age and alone bids its spirits come and go.
		We have no need to speculate, as it happens; modernity speaks for itself: with the withdrawal of Christian culture, all the glories of the ancient world that it baptized and redeemed have perished with it in the general cataclysm.
		Christianity is the midwife of nihilism, not because it is itself nihilistic, but because it is too powerful in its embrace of the world and all of the world's mystery and beauty; and so to reject Christianity now is, of necessity, to reject everything except the barren anonymity of spontaneous subjectivity.

	Multiculturalism and the Demotion of Man
		The perverse tendency among white Western elites to welcome and embrace non-Western peoples and cultures while refusing to defend their own people and culture is no mere fashion, as superficial conservatives would have it, but a natural and inevitable expression of a new culture-a culture of nihilism-that has become the dominant culture of the West.
		The organizing idea of this nihilist culture is that abnormal and transgressive conduct is normalized and celebrated, while traditional moral norms and constraints are either ignored or subjected to crippling social and civil penalties.
		The manifestations of this depravity can be seen not only in our popular entertainments (e.g., the Jerry Springer Show and most prime-time television) and "lifestyles" (e.g., face-piercing and vampirism), but in the so-called high culture of post-1960s America.

	CHAPTER VI
		In the history of thought of the latter two ages the tendency to deny the possibility to base thought on the stable structures of Being as on an immutably true background is easily noted.
		It means that to reduce, to withdraw, to liberate itself, to weaken is the feature of Being that defines the letting-presence of Being in the epoch of the end of metaphysics.
		Vattimo, while speaking about the nihilistic vocation of Being, doesn’t seek to hide that the origin of his attitude on nihilism derives from Nietzsche and Heidegger.

		In addition to moral valuations, there are sometimes class, race, and cultural embedments in such assessments of "high magic" versus "low magic", although few welcome an open examination of them.
		I presume you mean the former, in which case i think the Occult Revivalist Golden Dawn members who brought those books into contemporary English editions were part of the "emulationist" tendency of which i was speaking, although i over-simplified in referring this solely to Crowley.
		Yes, and this is what i was trying to open up with Nihilist -- a multi-faceted understanding rather than an all-or-nothing "authority" system of definition.

	point of view: a modern nihilism
		This frustration may be reduced or not experienced negatively if in exchange we perceive a personal benefit, or a social benefit that returns an indirect personal benefit (e.g., general prohibitions against violence).
		This may be a good strategy for a nihilist to try to live by, though what will work for one may not for another.
		More significantly, a modern nihilism forces us in the end to reject the claim that the existentialist can necessarily create value in more than a personal sense through acts of will…some may experience that, others not…and these acts will not necessarily persuade others of the value of a particular course of action.

		He believes that American culture is dangerously close to fulfilling Nietzsche’s predictions for a democracy that has moved "beyond good and evil." In such a democracy we will see the rise of "the last men" who simply blink and giggle when confronted with life’s most important questions.

	Iain Sinclair: Revolutionary Novelist or Revolting Nihilist
		In opposing Derrida's attempts to aestheticise the world (his famous 'there is nothing outside the text' quickly becomes 'everything is literature'), there is a danger that Marxists leave no space for aesthetics or subjectivity.
		In dealing with ideological notions like 'common-sense' (or, say, 'free speech') dogmatic assertions are unhelpful: we should assess the class tendency of its specific usage.
		Modernist impatience with ossified form is frequently misunderstood; Sinclair's dissatisfaction with words is the iconoclasm of an image-maker, not a nihilist.

	Classical Values :: Restoration with respect for tradition?
		One of the shortcomings of this blog happens to be its stated theme: my tendency to analyze the "culture war" in terms of an ancient struggle between Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian values.
		Because both of these seemingly contradictory values systems are inextricably intertwined with the American founding, and because neither fits neatly into the libertarian (or neolibertarian) philosophy, the culture war seems far from over.
		Logically (and mathematically) I tend to see the PoMo nihilist approach as worse than the "Judeo-Christian culture war," because (as I have argued), this would throw the baby out with the bathwater.
