Nihilism: The Belief in Nothing

Some find meaning in love. Others in simply being alive. Nihilists believe there is no meaning at all.

No purpose. No grand design. Every action, every emotion, every moment of suffering, completely senseless and empty.

This is nihilism. The belief in nothing.

But before you dismiss it, consider this: nihilism isn't just a dark philosophy for pessimists. It's a mirror that forces you to confront the most uncomfortable question you'll ever face. If nothing means anything, why does it bother you so much that it doesn't?

This episode traces nihilism from its philosophical origins to its explosion in modern culture. Why it's taking over an entire generation. Why social media, politics, and economic collapse are pushing millions toward the belief that nothing matters. And whether staring into that void might be the first step toward building something real.

🎧 One of Aperture's most-listened episodes for a reason. Press play and find out why.
