Occupational Nihilism

To stop caring about your job so much that you no longer care if you get fired or not. Occasionally leads to hilarity in the workplace.

Billy had so much Occupational Nihilism that, for no reason, he didn't go into work one day. He did not tell anyone at the workplace that he wasn't going to come into work the day before, or the day that he failed to show up either.

Patsy's occupational nihilism gave him courage to show up to work in a cowboy hat.

Nihanism

The art of coming up with a new word made up from existing words but screwing with their spelling in the process.

I was trying to express someone that is a vegetarean but still eats fish cause he is from the mediterrenean, so I made a nihanism and called it vegetterenean!

meta-nihilism

An emergent structure of nihilism which follows Schopenhauer's power-to-desire momentum in contrast to Nietzsche's will-to-power momentum.

Appears as self-reference or aesthetic in contrast to mere appearance.

In cultural terms: Futurekampf.

Meta-nihilism is aesthetic.

Nihilism

A theory that life is without purpose, many things deconstruct to this after continuous questioning of why. From this, we realise value does not exist (without purpose it can't have extrinsic value)
Ethics and Morals become non existent and are merely thought to be invented by man for man to control man even though he has no reason to be controlled.

Also, Nihilists don't believe in anything. (Thoughts and ideas are not beliefs)

Prole1 "Don't do that, it's evil and wrong."
Nihilist "why is it? men have created morals and ethics not realising they are useless, we are without purpose. Nihilism makes you're ideas invalid"

Prole2 "We need to care for our planet."
Nihilist "Why? it has no value."

nihilism

The belief that existence is useless and pointless, life has no meaning.

I've read so much Nietzsche, that I've adopted a nihlistic worldview!

Optimistic Nihilism

Looking at the bright and disturbingly hilarious side of a situation while never sacrificing the reality of that situation

Some say the divorce rate for marriage is going up while I say the death rate for marriage is going down. That is what optimistic nihilism is.
