Following through with the Matrix allegory…
Nihilism is an inter-subjective artificiality, connected via an external medium maintained by a system that has tis own motives for doing so - politics/marketing.
Participants co-exist ni a surreal mental space/time and reject all attempts to be taken out of tis comforting contexts, because the external world’s relationships - its meanings - are indifferent to their needs and uncertain - chaos and order - whereas within the shard as space reason and order dominates absolutely.
Within this inter-subjective space/time there are no natural restrictions - no physical limitations - to codes - language is liberated from the apparent, and with it ideology is detached form reality’s contraints.
Words acquire a magical aura. With them alternative realities can be constructed within this inter-subjective space/time.
Outside of it they are useless- impotent.
We are now in what Baudrillard called “Hyper-reality” - the desert of the real.
Such artificiality can only survive through indoctrinating as many minds into tis contexts as possible - it must proselytize and seduce - expanding its range of influence.
Participants are engaged in a collective solipsistic arrangement - a social agreement.
I will not disrupt your fantasies if you do not disturb mine.
What does not abide by this unspoken agreement is ‘evil’ or a negative factor in this collective project.
Nihilism is entirely linguistic.
Read how it is conventionally defined?
It presumes abstractions and then demands that the real provide them.
If it does not, the real is negative - is nullified - not the ideas that were projected and expected to be present.
