> A philosophical nitpick too, you're likely describing absurdism, not nihilism.

You're right, thanks for the clarification! I got confused between existentialism and nihilism, I admit I don't know the differences beyond what's infiltrated pop consciousness. You sent me on a wikibrowsing quest ;)



While you're going down that rabbit hole, check out Stoicism. The Enchiridion is pretty short and sweet.


Excellent! Casual philosophy is a pastime of mine so I think you'll find study of existentialism engaging.
