Re: We are nihilists
As social animals, we get our information from others. This includes morality, or a group behavior code based on a sense of value and purpose inherent to humanity.
In contrast, nihilism denies value and purpose and in turn, denies any special role to humanity. Like emotions, value and purpose are human judgments which do not exist in the outside world.
By denying value and purpose, nihilism forces us see physical reality as a mechanical process in which our part is small. When we are walking in winter, falling snow appears to be coming toward us, but in reality we are moving forward as it falls.
Where morality deals with how things appear to us, nihilism addresses reality as a design and encourages us to learn how to adapt to it. Morality is withdrawl from natural selection; nihilism embraces it, and describes the world as a complex machine.
I. NIHILISM
We frequently talk about "human nature." It's more sensible to talk about the challenges facing any animal with higher intelligence. Any smart animal will face the same challenges using roughly the same methods.
While having a big brain is an asset, it is also a liability, in that if a big brain has to re-analyze its surroundings, it will move very slowly. Instead, big brained animals analyze once, create a mental "map" of their world, and update as needed.
In theory, we update our maps when new data comes about. But if this data is incorrect, our knowledge of the world gets corrupted. We act expecting certain outcomes and are stunned when things do not go as planned.
What corrupts our minds is when we reverse the causal process of understanding. Instead of looking to the world, making conclusions and updating our maps, we update our maps based on what we wish were happening -- or what others tell us.
If we withdraw into our own maps, and change those instead of reality, we can no longer predict reality. This is a problem because we are responsible for our fate. If we screw it up, no one else is going to bail us out.

Strangers in the alps exchanging glances
Wondring in the alps
What were the chances we'd be sharing ass
Before the night was through.
Something in your reality was so inviting,
Something in your riffs was so exciting,
Something in my ass,
Told me I must nail you.
Strangers in the alps, two lonely people
We were strangers in the alps
Up to the moment
When we played our first hole.
Little did we know
NDMG was just a post away,
A lame embarassing post away and -
Ever since that night we've been together.
Boners at first sight, in clinch forever.
I unleashed out my farts,
For strangers in the alps.
