SHOW NOTES
The poet Muriel Rukeyeser said, “The world is not made of atoms, but of stories.”
I see nihilism as the biggest threat to creating the future we want. We live in a nihilistic world now. It is devoid of shared mythologies and stripped of meaning. Nihilism for me as it manifest in current world is tied to a sense hopelessness, mental health, distrust in politics, lack of imagination, lack of deep meaning and creativity, toxic forms of individualism, the void, irrational patterns that are not life giving.
What nihilism is not
- Rage and anger are not nihilism
- Trauma is not nihilism
- Nihilism cannot exist in the Heart
Nihilism is a interdimensional monster
I want to say it’s not your fault. What you feel is what the media is thinking and has portrayed through its endless images and symbols. It is what world has depicted inside all of us wanting to make boundaries out of our lives and our shared bonds.
Indecision is where nihilism thrives
Make a decision and get on with it. Be comfortable with constant state of change and transformation through making decision and understanding why you made that choice.
Welcome spontaneity and play in your life
Welcome play despite the horrors and the suffering all around.
Transforming Nihilism into Stoicism
Nihilism can be used as a force for good if conquered and weaponized internally to help you deconstruct and recreate your life at will.
Create, create, create and create some more
You cannot be a nihilistic and create at the same time. Nihilism doesn’t permit us to create. I believe creating is the antithesis of Nihilism. Create through words, journaling, art, music, conversations, organizations and businesses, your life, relationships and connections, film, poetry, food, theatre, drawing, physical exercise, dancing, photography and so much more. Keeping creating as it’s an engagement with this decaying world and yourself. Next is to create a body of work around what you are creating.
