Does anything truly matter? Join us on a journey into nothingness as we unpack the surprisingly diverse philosophy of nihilism. Far from just teenage angst, we explore how this worldview questions everything from objective meaning and moral values to the very existence of knowledge. We cover its ancient roots with Greek Sophists, its revolutionary turn in 19th-century Russia, and its profound influence on thinkers like Nietzsche. We'll even tackle the mind-bending claim that your table doesn't actually exist. Is it all deeply depressing, or wonderfully liberating? Tune in to decide.
