The difference between a Mereological and Existential nihilism is that someone who believes in mereological nihilism would think that life has a meaning but only as building blocks for the future, while on the other hand, an existential nihilism believer would think that human life is insignificant and has no meaning to it.

1 answer
Nihilism and absurdism are both philosophical perspectives that question the meaning and purpose of life. Nihilism asserts that life is ultimately meaningless and devoid of inherent value, while absurdism acknowledges the lack of inherent meaning but suggests that individuals can find their own subjective meaning in the face of the absurdity of existence. In essence, nihilism is a more pessimistic view that rejects all meaning, while absurdism embraces the idea of creating personal meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.

The way out of nihilism would involve defining yourself and what you do. To escape nihilism, you would need honest faith in "the greater good", or to believe in reality as more than just various matter and energies bouncing around and interacting. Once you truly understand and accept the concept of nihilism, I think the best way out is finding value in what you do for others. The open-minded nature that it takes to step away from the mainstream and consider nihilism should also allow you to accept this: Though what you do may have no value, it may be of great value to others. You probably are on this planet affecting the world around you, so you might as well probably do something, at least for the perceived good of others.

Albert Camus believed that nihilism, the belief that life is meaningless, was a dangerous and destructive philosophy. He rejected nihilism and instead advocated for the idea of embracing the absurdity of life and finding meaning through personal responsibility and creating one's own values. This perspective influenced his philosophy of existentialism, which emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe.
1 answer
Existentialism is a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual freedom, choice, and responsibility in creating one's own meaning and values in a seemingly indifferent or absurd universe. Nihilism, on the other hand, is the belief that life is meaningless, without purpose or intrinsic value, leading to feelings of despair or apathy. While existentialism seeks to find meaning through individual choice and action, nihilism tends to reject the possibility of meaning altogether.

Nihilism is a shadow in the psyche.....one of the most devious shadows there is.
It tries to convince the One (that is you as the Self united with God in Eternity) that there is nothing, absolutely nothing at the end of your life on earth.
So, nihilism is a pathology of a certain transcendental truth. We find through deep experiential awareness that "emptiness is form,,,,,form is emptiness" as the ancient Buddhist text said.
Nihilism takes this truth, and corrupts it by insisting that emptiness is meaningless,,,,,form is meaningless,,,,there is no beauty,,,there is no goodness, there is no truth..
Confront nihilism every chance you get, and bring it's ugliness to the light . shine the light of your being on this shadow inside you, and it will slowly buy surely dissolve...

Absurdism and nihilism intersect in their exploration of the meaninglessness of existence by both philosophies questioning the inherent purpose or value of life. Absurdism emphasizes the human tendency to seek meaning in a world that lacks inherent meaning, while nihilism asserts that life has no inherent meaning or value. Both philosophies challenge traditional beliefs about the purpose of existence and confront the idea that life may ultimately be devoid of inherent meaning.

If youreally want to know about Nihilism, I would suggest Friedrich Nietzsche'sThe Will To Power.
My second suggestion would be don't. Nihilism is an intriguing topic but there are several... 'but's.
I, in a philosophical tumult spiralled down quite badly earlier this year. I self discovered the theory of Nihilism and wrote a lot of theories as such. I then stumbled across Nihilism and went deeper and deeper into the topic. Of course in the ignorance of a world we live in, we are going to search for answers and not discover any. That does NOT mean they don't exist. I ended up in an extremely bad place doing extremely bad things and I am forever grateful to a wonderful friend of mine who was able to pull me out. Nihilism is the passing away of meaning. When you have to much power or meaning thrust upon you in this unfair and divided world, you often pass a lot of it off. Nihilism is no more true than Santa (sorry kids) or Scientology
If you want to know the "secrets" of the universe. Read the book The Way Of The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. Or look in a mirror... The world around you is within you. You are one with everything. You were immortal before you were born and will be immortal after you die. Do not worry about the future, do not regret the past, just keep yourself in the present. Please just read a wiki page on nihilism, or an exert from a blog. Just don't get yourself caught up in any of that because it is definitely not worth it. And i really and utterly mean it with all my being. Read Dan Millman's book, or Eckhart Tolle's The Power Of Now. You'll be thanking me i guarantee you.
Peace.
