:He is saying that climbing a tree is as reasonable a response to nihilism as acting all mopey and depressed. [[Special:Contributions/184.66.160.91|184.66.160.91]] 03:21, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

:And also suggesting that it is the better option (or at least the one he'd rather be doing) of the two.  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.158|108.162.237.158]] 22:00, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
And he is soooo correct. I wish I knew now what a waste of time worrying about certain things happening or not happening would wind up being. I wish I'd spent more time climbing trees or doing other things that made me feel happy or that I had fun doing instead of worrying about how I would look to others doing so. Life should come with a users manual or at least a FAQ or something. I know, I know there's lots of books out there that attempt to do that but I mean one that you KNOW is true because it was written for YOU.

:You are basically talking about a religious text since many of those claim to be written for your salvation/enlightenment/well-being. A lot of people claim that something must be true because it reflects their experiences perfectly. {{unsigned|Flewk}}
 
 
 
You might as well not bother being nihilistic.  It's not like you'll accomplish anything by it. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.54.52|173.245.54.52]] 21:03, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
I found this while reading about absurdism, my own philosophy. I would assume that the beret guy is in fact an absurdist, which is slightly different from nihilism. Would this be correct?[[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.78|108.162.219.78]]
 
 
 
Yes and no. Maybe. Are there even definite definitions of Nihilism and Absurdism? Meaning: Nihilism is frequently associated with Nietsche, who, in his own understanding, fought Nihilism. But thats how I read stuff, and I am sure there's at least 10k people who would disagree. -- [[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.78|141.101.107.78]] 20:07, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
