Center for Nihilist and Nihilism Studies
"If in everyday life, you are asked about continued existence after death by one of those people who would like to know everything but refuse to learn anything, the most appropriate and approximately correct answer is: 'After your death you will be what you were before your birth.' For this answer implies that it is preposterous to demand that a species of existence which had a beginning should not have an end; in addition, however, it contains a hint that there may be two kinds of existence and, correspondingly, two kinds of nothingness."
-Arthur Schopenhauer

Nihilism is the theory that meaning beyond the immanent is irrelevant.

Nihilism is the foundation of objectivism. Through removing external value one sees what is actually there, which, given the workings of the universe, has equal value and is thus equally impermanent.

Nihilism is beauty.

The brand of nihilism that we advocate is not merely a flippant rejection of societal norms or an angry reaction caused by being powerless under the weight of a capitalistic society whose leaders alone determine values, potentials and human futures based on their economic reward to those in power. Rather, our nihilism is a cautious and studied result in which every value asserted by society has been inspected and has never failed to ring hollow.

  • If the value of everything is arbitrary then are we not then free to determine these values for ourselves, free of coercion, and to then go our own course?

  • If the morals and values of the dominant class have no basis other than to reinforce their control and self-interests then aren't we free to ignore their concerns and instead do what serves us best?

We will be putting our study material on line in the coming months to encourage others to freedom from the meaningless and arbitrary social dogma that keeps us focused at our expense on providing for the interests of our leaders rather than for our own.
