>>>sorry Jos replied to the wrong message. I wondered if Bidens VP pick affected Kevin Goffs vote choice.

>>>I doubt it affected your nihilism.

>>You keep using that word but I don’t think it means what you think it means:

>>Nihilism (/ˈnaɪ(h)ɪlɪzəm, ˈniː-/; from Latin: nihil, lit. 'nothing') refers to a number of different views in philosophy, all of which express some form of philosophical pessimism about the nature of human life. Different forms of nihilism hold variously that human values are baseless, that life is meaningless, that knowledge is impossible, or that some set of entities does not exist.

>>This is far from what I think about life. I am not pessimistic about human life / existence and neither think human values are baseless nor that life is meaningless. Knowledge is possible and indeed have spent 40+ years extensively looking into the meaning of life, religion, spirituality, western and eastern systems of thought and belief, and more.
>>
>>On the other hand, if you think I am pessimistic about our political system and those who rule us, then, yes, you are correct. But that would be called realism, not nihilism. You only need to look around without rose-tinted glasses to see that for yourself.

>LOL ok Political nihilism

I can see you halfway on that :) Common ground after all ...
