Science is also contaminated by nihilistic prejudices.
See…“came to be” alludes to one such prejudice.
It ever was…and “came to be” should refer to the process, using the present Eon as the starting point.
Present - dynamic/mutable - nurture
Past - immutable - nature
Future - objective, ideology, i.e., projection of an idea via logos.
The projection will participate in the determination of the next cycle.
We’ll need a context of course.
“It ever was…and “came to be” should refer to the process, using the present Eon as the starting point”.
They should…? 
You do you and I’ll do me, bae-be ; )
Immortal androgynes…A.I.
The dream of nihilists.
To obliterate the body and replace it with a machine.
No past, only present/presence and future.
Part of their sacred texts.
They worship nil.
children of the moon…not the sun.
All I can do is to challenge her to take this particularly obtuse intellectual contraption down out of the “it’s-so-deep-it’s-meaningless” clouds and note how it is actually applicable to her interactions with those she accuses of worshipping nil.
What “sacred texts”? And how are these texts really any different from her own authoritarian assertions about genes > memes. For all practical purposes say. Given particular contexts in which nihilist obliterate the body and replace it with the machine.
As though that were all, what, self-explanatory?!
Instead, she comes in here during our festive holiday season and spouts her intellectual gibberish in post after post after post.
And as though the whole world was watching!!
Overcompensations…
When body is rejected because of how it compares - self-consciousness, whereas mind can be concealed and it can lie.
Insecurity manifesting fantasies about an artificial body to contain the mind so as to forever transcend the past.
Hatred of the tangible, the physical - that which limits the mind’s fantasies.
Except when that transcendence is a mind which dispossesses as a required element a singular self enclosed entity.
That is how that consciousness transcends it’s universality and transcends it into the individuality .
Detachment from the physical “liberates” the mind form its sense of reality…it surrenders to fantasy, grasping on its emotions and inner desires.
It becomes a zombie…living in tis own head…subjective…seeking other subjects to create support groups - inter-subjective collectives.
Nihilism needs followers or an idol to follow, needs the like-minded, to the degree that it has detached from reality.
Its abstractions are impotent outside minds and so minds is what it seeks to expand its field of effect - its power.
This is why nihilism can only ever be political and spiritual… it needs collectives.
No, seriously. Meno himself could have posted this.
Jesus, Lyssa, does this go far beyond KT?!!! Is Meno just another one?!!!
Does it even include Carleas?!!!
Does it even include me. 
Romantic idealism…
Feminization of Man.
Swept away…on the winds of desire.
Nihilism;
Latin for no, thing.
Not I’m not sure, but no thing.
For me, nihilism means, not lack of belief in something, that’s agnosticism, skepticism or intellectual apathy, but belief that something doesn’t exist.
So an atheist is a theist nihilist.
An ethical nihilist believes morals and values don’t exist, not that they’re relative or subjective, but that they don’t exist, that those who believe they or others have morals and values, are mistaken.
A metaphysical nihilist believes existence doesn’t have a metaphysical component.
A physical nihilist believes nothing exists, like Gorgias.
Gorgias was the first and most extreme nihilist in written history.
Myself I am not a nihilist.
Regarding God, I’m agnostic, tho occasionally I pray, for comfort.
Regarding ethics, I’m a subjectivist, ethics are ultimately a matter of preference, altho we may objectively disagree about the things we prefer, like I believe the thing I’m preferring is not a threat to our safety, whereas you might think it is.
As for the world, I believe in it, but it’s a leap of faith, I could be a brain in a vat.
This could be the matrix, or the holodeck.
I could be God or a spirit dreaming the or my world into existence.
On the other hand, I could be a dream someone or something else is having too.
The way I see it, everything is a happening, and what’s ultimately true is beyond our grasp.
So I don’t search for ultimate truth anymore, which is philosophy proper, but only for what appears to be, for a good guess, for what’s workable, which’s pragmatism.
The world is a happening, we’re already in it and compelled by our instincts, intuitions and cognition to think about it in certain ways, and that’s it.
If you believe the world exists independently from any human subjectivity, then you are not a nihilist.
If you define concepts properly then they acquire meaning connected with the experienced world…
Words like "god, for example have been appropriated and corrupted for centuries by nihilists.
If you look for the definition before this mental dis-ease took effect, then you will find gods everywhere.
Same goes for the concept of “morality”…and “free-will”…and “meaning”.
Use words as they were intended to be used.
Morality, for instance, requires no god and no humans to exist…ethics is another issue.
Mosaic Laws are an example of ethics.
Social species exhibit moral behaviour with no belief in an Abrahamic one-god, nor a cultural ideological upbringing.
Humans may encode these evolved behaviours but they are not invented by humans…in fact without them humans would not be possible.
Genes/Memes.
Another example…
Gender is how evolved specialized reproductive roles, necessitating specific physical and mental attributes, is how these sexual roles are applied within a social system with specific ideals.
Gender doesn’t emerge form nowhere.
Genes = specialized reproductive function.
Memes = integration of said functions within an ideological framework, including morals, and values, and collective objectives.
The application is tested in real time within an indifferent brutal world. If it produces types of men/women that can survive they are perpetuated.
Now factor in human intervention and how this simply postpones the inevitable by sheltering what is unfit.
Yep: Two more particularly ponderous “general description intellectual contraptions.” The stuff of truly “serious philosophers” here.
Yep: We’ll need a context.
A set of circumstances in which these two explore their own moral and political prejudices, insofar as they encompass in turn what, from my frame of mind, will be but a “subjective rooted existentially in dasein” understanding of nihilism.
So, make it about gender then. The most rational manner in which to understand men and women socially, psychologically, politically and economically?
Still, no context.

Neo-Marxism has reinvented itself, just as the douche-bag is trying to reinvent Abrahamism by renaming it Value Ontology.
It is an old trick.
Rename, assimilate the causes of your previous failure into the new construct and then repackage and sell it to the same needy fucks.
The death of the one-god has left a vacancy that has to be filled by a new lie, a new mythology, a new world annulling superstition.
Production based Marxism, material Marxism, is now reinvented as privilege based, or moral Marxism - redistribution of responsibilities and privileges.
Corrupting words is a way of concealing motive - concealing the old failures and reinventing the same dogmas as a new, novel, promising success, ideology.
If it’s dreck, you must reject.

Every nihilistic variant can easily reinvent itself because tis language is not anchored by anything real so it has unlimited options of reinventing itself and choosing new words to redefine the same concepts.
To be more precise, the degree to which a dogma/ideology is nihilistic determines the degree to which it is independent from reality, and not bound by the perceived.
When your language is not limited by order, independent from your needs/desires, it is malleable and can be manipulated by your needs/desires.
Neo-Marxism became opportunistic. It stopped caring about the poor and dedicated itself to using the poor to gain power…often by making them more impoverished.
It decided to exploit the workers in a different way to how capitalists exploited them - emotionally.
This Neo-Marxism - based on the Frankfurt School - is what postmodernism is.
See Stephen Hicks for a more thorough explanation.
Once you see the methodology, how they detach words from reality and then use them to manipulate and exploit the masses emotionally, then you will no longer need anyone’s guidance to see it.
You will not be able to not see it.
You will see it in every commercial, television show, movie, and pop-musical piece of cRap.
This brainwashing didn’t start now…it goes back to the beginning of the twentieth century, with the emergence of Hollywood, and culminated in the sixties with the Frankfurt School.
It’s always the same types, taking advantage of the same types.
If it’s dreck, you must reject.
To grasp this new variant of nihilism then listening to one of Hicks’ lectures on postmodernism is recommended.
