Now that you think about it, nihilism just seem to make the most sense. Now dictionary.com defines it as -- an extreme form of skepticism: the denial of all real existence or the possibility of an objective basis for truth. That last part is where I take notice. I think human beings cannot find "objectivity for truth" due to our limitations as human beings. I think this even goes into Nietzschean theory (I know Nietzsche was anti-nihilist, but bear with me), where the human being "sublimes" or becomes something greater. I think this is the only way ultimate truth or objectivity of it can be found for humans, but since there has yet to be sublimation of mind I therefore think no objectivity is possible, and thus nihilistic thought is the only conceivable option for man to partake in. Any thoughts?? (Please no evangels here, I'm looking for serious thought)
