I Too Would Free Myself From Ceaseless Woe
The heavens whisper a confession into Khayyam's heart: they do not know fate's commands either. Every explanation for existence refers beyond itself to another force, until the chain folds back on itself and we find ourselves exactly where we started — facing uncertainty, with a cosmos that shares our bewilderment entirely.https://kamaustine.com/2026/06/29/i-too-would-free-myself-from-ceaseless-woe/

‘A Partnership of Convenience: Why China Isn’t Intervening On Iran’s Behalf
The intense U.S. bombing of Iran reveals the limits of Beijing’s relationship with Tehran and the pragmatism of China’s Middle Eastern strategy’ https://thediplomat.com/2026/03/a-partnership-of-convenience-why-china-isnt-intervening-on-irans-behalf/Can China and Europe etc. afford to let Trump’s MAGA cult take economic and military control of the Arab Nations? The liars tool of using anti-Zionist antisemitism as a cover for genocidal conquest and an energy hegemony is wearing thin. All those living in Palestine before its colonial take over and some who fought for the allies have a far older Semitic bloodline is proven! With a considerably weakened interest in the energy markets, its military and economic power is also relegated, so no it cannot afford to do so!

If you make these kinds of choices based on "what someone says", you're doing it wrong. No one is suggesting that.
I am (slowly) moving from Debian to Devuan for all the obvious and well-documented problems with systemd. No need to recite that stuff in detail.
Observing that Ubuntu is going all-in on autoslop, and being able to connect the dots and project into the future, moving from Ubuntu to literally anything else (that isn't on the same problematic path) is also pretty darn obvious.
But throwing up a nihilist hypothetical strawman to try to convince others it's not worth trying to fix problems? That is GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE territory. Plonk.

I'm struggling with intense feelings of #nihilism tonight. I dare not call it #depression; I don't feel worthless, I feel like everything is worthless and we are all specks of dust floating around in an uncaring universe. I am scared to die, but even more scared to live. If you see this, please #pray or send some encouraging #thoughts my way. #prettyplease #help #mentalhealth

It’s not enough that just one person is an idiot
..the whole system must be idiotic. Bourgeois ideology is obsessed with the strongman, for better or for worse. If Hitler had been thrown out of the window in 1925, there would have been no German fascism. As daft as that sounds, it’s also a widespread belief, mainly because of that Jesus story.
Historical materialism, and even more so Foucault’s structuralism, show that social conditions lead to outcomes. This can be accelerated by charismatic figures, but never triggered. Similarly, the current decline of Western hegemony is in no way attributable to Trump. Nor has it ever been. And sometimes I believe that Trump knows this. That he is, by design, the angel of the Apocalypse. Like the Judas of the Gospel of Judas, who sacrifices himself to fulfil the prophecy. He wouldn't be the first to see nihilism as the way out.https://word.undead-network.de/2026/04/14/es-reicht-ja-nicht-wenn-einer-idiotisch-ist/

Tyler Robinson är den unge man som mördade den ökände US-amerikanske högerextremisten Charlie Kirk. Robinson är helt klart ingen vänsterperson och det mesta tyder inte heller på att är nån högerextremist. Helt klart är dock att han är uppväxt i en högerextrem mormonfamilj i en högerextrem miljö. I en miljö med vapenfetischism där användning av skjutvapen är nåt vardagligt och normalt.

#Nāgārjuna's #Madhyamaka #philosophy articulates #śūnyatā (#emptiness) and the two truths, dismantling the notion of intrinsic essence and affirming the interdependent, provisional nature of all phenomena. This insight avoids both #nihilism and #essentialism, shaping #Mahāyāna and #Zen thought. In this post, I summed up the key aspects of this profound teaching and its implications for #Buddhist practice:

CW: Anarcho-nihilism, mentions of the Holocaust
I'm embarrassed to say that it's taken me this long to read #BlessedIsTheFlame, but now that I have, I'm pondering a lot that I can't quite articulate yet.
There were moments of it that resonated deeply with me, yet it makes other points that I'm intensely skeptical of. But I think it's a deeply moving piece that is worth reading and thinking about: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/serafinski-blessed-is-the-flame

You know, I give mentally ill people a lot of grace; however, that grace ends when you are aware that what you are doing is immoral. Empirically, immoral behavior is associated with antisocial behavior and behavior where you benefit at someone else’s expense. Antisocial behavior is not introversion. Can I be antisocial? Yes, I can be. I am not a saint. I am often a devil; however, I make no excuse for it, and I try to isolate myself away from negative influences.
The issue I have with many DKMU members is they have effectively given up trying to improve as people. They have decided. I’m not going to name any names, but I saw a DKMU member on Bluesky try to rationalize their parasocial and antagonistic behavior by calling themselves a goblin and then naming it gleeful screeching. They were rationalizing their mentally ill behavior and doubling down instead of regulating themselves or asking for psychiatric intervention. I have seen this person try to form a parasocial relationship with a crow, so they are deeply ill. If you know, you know. She’s aware that what she is doing is wrong; however, she has decided to do the wrong thing, anyway, and she is rationalizing her bad behavior.
Karma is just a metaphysical abstraction of cause and effect, i.e., consequences. There are, and have been, consequences to her behavior that this person is feeling on a medical level; however, they still, of their own free will, choose to do the wrong, unhealthy things knowingly.
She, and a lot of members of DKMU, have given up living. They have given up progressing. They’ve decided to live in a miserable, nihilistic, antagonistic space. That is the last I will speak on this person because I find them to be very sad. It is deeply depressing watching them destroy themselves because they have given up living.

A reason why I decided to have a presence like this on the Fediverse, through a WordPress blog, is that I don’t like arbitrary community rules or guidelines. They are superfluous, and they exist merely to influence and control people through compliance. A lot of community guidelines and rules are morally negligible.
While current events put me in a nihilistic and cynical mood, evidence that I have about the teleological nature of psychic phenomena and magic are empirical cases against nihilism. Psychic phenomena order entropic and disordered states such that events are drawn to a point, i.e., an attractor, which causes what many magicians call synchronicity. Events that should be disordered and not related suddenly become ordered and correlated to take on the form of a message.
Magical and psychic forces order events, which insert information, contradicting the idea that nothing has meaning, since magic inserts information and manipulates histories. Succumbing to nihilism would be to embrace a delusion, considering the evidence I have.
A way to think about it is that when someone sees the future, there is a correlation between them and that future moment, where the correlation is not a translation in space-time. There is a discontinuity, so there is a singularity. There is a hole and an asymptote that, as you approach that hole, you approach infinity. The correlation between that future moment and its relative to the past, that is, the person getting a vision of the future, causes a retrocausal influence.
Say we were to record if someone throws a rock through a glass window and the window shatters. If you were to rewind that video, it would appear as if the shattered glass flew into the place with the pieces arranging so that they fit where they meet the rock at exactly the moment the shards flew back together. We intuitively know that time is moving backward in that video because we see coordination and symmetry. That is analogous to what happens with precognition, so evidence for precognition is empirical cases against nihilism.
Which is why nihilistic chaos magicians confuse the hell out of me, because teleology is a corollary of intentionality and a subjective characteristic of experience. When they reject objective reality, they say it emerges from consensus in a subjective space. That implies a teleological nature of belief, intentionality, and expectation as part of meaningful subjective experiences. The collective meaning people put into something constraints probabilities and future realities.
Notice that I said arbitrary and superfluous rules. I am not advocating immorality or amorality. What do I mean by morally negligible? Objective variables correlated with mortality are altruism and prosocial behavior, so the inverse is immoral antisocial behavior. We can summarize it as immoral behavior is behavior where a person gains at another’s expense.
Capitalism is literally built on benefiting from someone else’s expense, so you can say that if it is capitalistic, it is probably immoral. My husband constantly hears me rant to people regarding enshittification and monetization by saying that if it is built on capitalism, it is probably evil, and you are probably dealing with a bad person. Ironically, this includes many people involved in occulture and leftist anarchistic forms of occultism. Not only are they practicing in an immoral system, but they are also selling services and goods that do not work, so they are also defrauding people. Selling your art to people is not fraud. Selling mediocre art by telling people it has magical powers, can give them spiritual guidance, or can tell them the future when it cannot is what makes it fraudulent.
Here is the thing about rules and laws. They are normative. They are prescriptive instead of being positivistic. They are not about what something is; rather, they are about how things ought to be. In the context of people, they outline how people should behave, so normative expressions, i.e., rules that outline a culture and community’s norms, are prescriptive.
And prescriptive expressions are a tacit commitment to the type of future that the culture and community want to create. You put in place rules with punitive measures, such as shame, banning, suppression, censorship, etc., in order to create a future where people do not do those things. There are certain things we should aim to try to exterminate from the future, such as misogyny, fascism, Nazis, homophobia, transphobia, etc.; however, losing your shit because people do not put alt tags or CW on pictures or nudity is a bit much, as well as removing dissenting things.
While I am quick to call out people who present unsolicited arguments on other people’s replies, when there is an open invitation to a discussion and a person gives a dissenting view, that does not warrant removing or banning them. Honestly, I am used to this type of behavior. Occult cultures and communities are notorious for doing this. In my case, constraining myself to occult cultures and communities and internalizing and adhering to their cultural norms would have held me back, so I’ve always chosen to exist on the margins as a solitary practitioner.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
I think the only reason for this book's popularity was the Vietnam war. The book is poorly structured and wastes a lot of time to say "it's all pointless."
The thing is: use nihilism for good, Kurt.
