Health Homework (6.2, VIDEO) Overcoming Nihilism in 2 Easy Sunday-strolling Steps
NIHILISM (hopelessness + disorientation) requires Inaction just as AFFIRMATION (hope + focus) requires Action
Today’s post is the long-awaited sequel to Health Homework 6.1 Overcoming Nihilism; if you’re unfamiliar with the definitions, sources, and modern manifestations of nihilism, then please be sure to see that original orienting post from 5 Jun 2022.
Nihilism is commonly what people mean when they experience:
“Depression”
“Anxiety”
“Fatigue”
Hopelessness
Lack of direction-action-focus, “Nothing matters”
“all our politicians are crooks and are puppets to nonelected forces”
Overwhelm: overstimulated (too much) yet exhausted (not enough)

Notes
Schopenhauer's solution to life's nihilism was to get lost in artistic ecstasy, eg, opera, symphony
Kierkegaard’s solution to life's nihilism was to get lost in religion, eg, “leap of faith”
Kant was clueless
Nietzsche was the first and only philosopher to tackle the problem head-on
