I’m INCREDIBLY nihilistic. I just don’t see the point in anything. Is this a common trait in autists?

      I’m not sure that’s knowledgeable yet, since we don’t understand the topology of the universe entirely. If we take this granted for the sake of argument though, I’d still argue that a finity of the universe or existence is unimaginably far into the future and thus cannot inform our worldview beyond mythology - why should I reduce our lives’ created meanings just because humanity, earth, milky way or the universe are ceasing to exist someday? Don’t get me wrong, I like nihilism, but I don’t consider it finished (not in the “There has to be more than nothing” - way, but in the “So what?” - way).

        I don’t mean finished in Tue sense of the universe, but life as we know it on earth will be done one day. The universe will be keep going, but the billions of dollars some douche amassed will mean zero inbthr larger picture.
