Nihilist views of the meaning of life

Welcome spring, good bye night. From a nihilist point of view, morals arevalueless and only hold a place in society as hypocritical ideals created by various inflicts. The characteristic that distinguishes nihilism from other skeptic or relativist philosophies is that, rather than solely insisting that values are subjective or even warrantless, nihilism proclaims that nothing isof value, as the name implies. Which are your values and would you claim them to be useless? Do we need moral values? Where does the road without them lead? Moral does not mean just the values themselves but also the system in which they operate. What are the differences between the moral values of a doctor and a green peace fanatic? Do you manage to keep apart your political values from your moral values? Should they walk hand in hand or should we keep them separate? What is moral and what is not? If I ask why you did a certain thing, would you be able to explain the course of your action? Did you behave in a certain way because you felt obligated to do so or do you have a clear opinion of what's wrong or what's right baby? Can our moral actions be explained by using the principles of social biology or evolution theory? How should we behave? If Edward god damned Wilson can give at least some kind of answers about the battle between the sexes, aggressive behaviour, being a philanthropist, different kinds of sexual behaviours; is the defining of good action in our lives so hard a thing to do? Why are our actions often so different from our moral opinions? From my point of view, it would be great to receive some kind of guidance. E. Wilson says that a genetic explanation can be found for all kinds of social behaviours and phenomenons. Well how would you explain the non existence of our moral values and when it all started to go wrong?

“ Standing on the courthouse dome
Justice puts her blindfold on
Down below the innocent are strutting
On a catwalk of shame
This year's fashion in crime will be
Less child abuse, more blasphemy
Morality is vanity
The ugly given flattery grow vain

So here we are again in cabaret
At the cave of the Golden Calf
Laughing in the face of desperation
As we spin towards the future
At one second per second
Like records on the pin of a phonograph
The future is no problem after all
In the noise and smoke of the music hall

And if you get no joy from music hall
Remember there is always alcohol
And if you get no joy from gin
Give this world a miss
Everybody sing
Here is the abyss: jump in!”
