Dear Mike

>>Just so we're clear, how is post modern nihilism different than nihilism?<<

Hmm. Well, rather than agonising over the difficulties inherent in nihilism, the post modern approach is mild annoyance or "Cheerful Nihilism", a sang froid acceptance of the meaninglessness of it all.

Sound like you? It wasn't an attack, I leave that to more experienced philosophers ;-) .

>>Anyways, I still would like to hear why you think there's a meaning to life. If you don't want to tell me why you think that, you can just say so.<<

As I keep saying, we cannot engage if every point of view is non-binding and there is no agreed premise from which to start. In my frame of reference, a Monty-Pythonic "contradiction, not argument" is pointless.

How about this. *You* propose a basic premise we can agree re life/morality/virtue and we can argue from there.
