Existential nihilism

Existential nihilism is the philosophical viewpoint that life has no inherent meaning, purpose, or value. It suggests that, beyond individual perceptions and beliefs, the universe itself is indifferent and lacks objective significance. This perspective often challenges traditional sources of meaning, such as religion or cultural norms, implying that any meaning we find is created subjectively. While it can evoke feelings of insignificance, some interpret it as an invitation to create personal purpose in an indifferent world, embracing the freedom that comes with recognizing life's inherent meaninglessness.
