Nihilism is the best view of life
You've confused "best" with "most honest," which isn't even true. Nihilism claims nothing matters, yet you're here arguing it matters enough to convince me. Why should I adopt a view that collapses the moment you live by it?
Us debating matters about absolutely nothing is pointless.
Then why debate at all? You're proving my case for me, not yours. If it's pointless, you've already lost the argument before starting. The real question is, why does pointlessness bother you enough to say it?
Because I want to strengthen my believing on why nothing matters, so I can go crawl in a hole and do nothing.
You don't actually believe nothing matters, or you wouldn't care about strengthening your belief. You're using nihilism as an excuse for apathy, not a conclusion from logic. Why not just admit you're exhausted instead of hiding behind philosophy?
Im not my world view is that nothing truly matters towards anything, everything is just random chaos.
If everything's random chaos, then your belief in randomness is also random chaos, so why trust it? You're smuggling in one certainty (that nothing matters) while denying all certainties exist. How do you escape that trap?
Chaos can't do anything besides chaos, Randomness is the same as everything being pointless, because nothing actually means anything
Randomness doesn't equal pointlessness, it equals unpredictability. You experience meaning right now, whether the universe is chaotic or not. If meaning requires cosmic permission to exist, why does your suffering feel very real?
