From Amazon:
“In 1962, the young Eugene Rose undertook to write a monumental chronicle of the abandonment of Truth in the modern age. Of the hundreds of pages of material he compiled for this work, only the present essay has come down to us in completed form. Here Eugene reveals the core of all modern thought and life–the belief that all truth is relative–and shows how this belief has been translated into action in our century. Today, three decades after he wrote it, this essay is surely timelier than ever. It clearly explains why contemporary ideas, values, and attitudes–the “spirit of the age”–are shifting so rapidly in the direction of moral anarchy, as the philosophy of Nihilism enters more deeply into the fiber of society. Nietzsche was right when he predicted that the 20th century would usher in “the triumph of Nihilism.”
Indeed, the Christian is–in an ultimate sense–a “Nihilist”; to him, in the end, the world is nothing, and God is all. On the one hand, the true Nihilist places his faith in things that pass away and end in nothing. On the other hand, the Christian, renouncing such vanity, places his faith in the one thing that will not pass away, the Kingdom of God.”

Great vid big guy!
This is the most important chapter of the book and you present it well yet again… Thank you brother.
Thank you for your content creation. I am a Nihilist. I don't know of any nor belong to any revolution against anything that I know of. It is an accurate, though not a unique conclusion that Nihilists or Nihilism is the ultimate form of denial. Of course when a nihilist gets hungry (myself at least) they don't deny that the illusion of food and the illusion of eating make them feel better or different. I was never an Atheist. I've had conversations with Atheists and they would try to convince me that by default I'm an Atheist. My response is "I don't believe in Atheism". When I finally embrace Nihilism, I felt better. I have struggled with treatment resistant depression, suicidal ideation, CPTSD, chronic arthritis, etc. A simple way of condensing that list is that I have not felt good or well in a very long time. By the way you use the word "Nothingness" which is a common misunderstanding of Nihilism. "Nothingness" is a quality. Nothing has no qualities. For you or your readers, we might refer to "outer space" as a vast emptiness with galaxies sprinkled here and there. But we don't say "Outer Space is Empty". The point of the correction isn't the compulsion to be a grammar nazi, but to help reframe the most precise Perspective/Perception of what some Nihilist relate the backdrop of the illusion of everything to, which is simply Nothing. Even the illusion is Nothing. I'm not really a philosophical Nihilist, but more of a pragmatic, best informed guess. If we live in a simulation that construct is trending, then there is no [include everything in the simulation]. Sometimes the discussion of Nihilism descends into "reality" or "realities". My experience/perception of Nihilism is there is no "reality". So the easiest way to understand my practice of Nihilism is to know that I actively practice it. Anytime I'm having a reaction, I and all of you have entered a trance. The reaction-trance omits aspects of reality either a little bit or huge chunks, thus the the word illusion applies. Any "reaction" reinforces the trance or meta-trance that most people refer to as reality. For me, when I react, I'm reacting to the illusion, having forgotten there is no [fill in the blank]. There is only Nothing. Focusing on Nothing (not unlike meditation or even a prayer) brings me great peace. Or Peace of Mind perhaps.
If anyone can glimpse or experience Nothing, it is so absolute as to make everything meaningless. The "pathway" to practicing Nihilism is to just accept/embrace Nothing. It is very simple. If you decide to identify as a Nihilist out of reaction to a number of external influences, this might be the revolution the Narrator intended, but these aren't really Nihilists, they are "reactionary" to or about "something" They are still focused on "something", using a philosophy that talks about Nothingness. Those aren't practical or honest Nihilists, in my opinion identifying with Nihilism is just their current reaction. But if Nothing is the absolute truth, there is NOTHING to react to and there is no "truth"
I read Nihilism described as the Metaphysics of Hell. I could not agree more. Thank you for your work.
