Good. And apathetic?
“Don’t care”
Good.”
“In my high school English class, we had an assignment to teach an SAT word to our classmates. We got to pick the word (from a list) and our means of teaching it. Could be art, a presentation, whatever. The most clever, I thought, was the guy that wrote “ubiquitous” on a zillion index cards and taped them up all over the room.
Mine was to wait until the teacher called on me, then ask her, “Is this something that’s required of me, so I have to do it, but I can get by with something minimal so that I can be done with it? Yes? OK, so let me grab a dictionary real quick and I’ll read some synonyms for my word, which is ‘cursory’. Rapid, hasty, superficial, and a couple others I didn’t take the time to read because I’m not giving this a lot of attention. Can we move on?””
“The side of nihilism no one cares to address is that if there is no outside force enforcing morals, they are fully self chosen.
Nihilism does not mean the absence of morals, merely the absence of an outside agent enforcing them.”
