My stupid questions are these: Why are you not a nihilist? What is the refutation of nihilism, in a universe made of atoms and the void? If there is none, why have the philosophers not all been fired and philosophy abolished?
In a universe made of atoms and the void, how could it be the one true objective morality to be gloomy and dress in black?
Where do you get this strange idea that a nihilist must be gloomy or dress in black?
It's a snarky way of asking — Okay, even if nihilism were true, how could that motivate us to behave any differently from how we are already inclined to behave?
It is a snarky way of asking that very question.
