My people are all the people. I do my best to expand my 'identity circle' to include all humans and even the whole biosphere. It seems to me that outgroup stigmatization is one of the more insidious causes of strife and abuse in the world. I say this because it stems from trying to come together, which on it's face seems like a compassionate course of action.

"If nothing ever matters, we might as well commit suicide..."

I'm quite nihilistic and I've heard heard basically this before. Every time it seems like a non-sequitur to me.

Life taken to be without meaning or value seems to me to be life considered honestly and without delusion rather than a reason to kill yourself.

"Not because of a piece of knowledge (because all knowledge of the subjective is bound to capriciousness)..."

I take a similar, though more nihilistic stance. It seems to me that the fundamental uncertainty and mystery in the world have shown to be utterly indelible. We struggle so passionately to explain the most direct and elementary aspect of existence, our consciousness. Though some of the greatest minds in history have leveled every weapon against the hard problem of consciousness it's proven invincible and we've no greater insight than we ever had into how internal experience springs forth from physics.

We've no idea what "breathes fire into the equations" as the late Stephen Hawking put it. I don't see that changing, at least not any time soon. My reaction is epistemological nihilism.

"In the end, no one is wrong, and no one is right."

Couldn't agree more.

Interesting post.
