This episode narrates the new pages “'Nihilism is OK' is not OK" and "The uncanny absence of nihil –ism". “Nihilism is inevitable, but not a problem.” This is mistaken: it makes you miserable and ineffective, and erodes social and cultural capacity. https://meaningness.com/nihilism-considered-harmful Nihilism, like botulism, is not an ideology or conceptual system. It is a stance: an emotionally-charged way of being. https://meaningness.com/nihilism-is-not-an-ism Links mentioned in this episode: In "Postmodernism vs. The Pomoid Cluster" John Nerst analyzes the relationship between postmodernism as an academic theory, and “pomo” as a popular way of relating to meaningness. The TV Tropes page "Straw Nihilist". I struggled with saying "schismatic subsects", but you only get the edited version in which I nailed it. :)
