Important quotes from the video:In this video I talk about human existential nihilism of the modern age in the 21st century and how it may be possible that radical activism within anti-natalism, veganism and climate activism correspond to bringing about catharsis in relation to the modern, pitiful search for meaning and purpose within the realm of human existence.
“That there is no truth; that there is no absolute state of affairs-no ‘thing-in-itself.’ This alone is Nihilism, and of the most extreme kind .” -Nietzsche
"Realism [materialism/rationalism]... is not properly treated as a philosophy at all. It is naive, undisciplined thought of the unflective, practical man who... thinks to impose his simple minded standards and ideas upon the entire world; or... the equally naïve thought of the scientist, bound to the obvious by the requirements of his specialty, when he illegitimately attempts to extend scientific criteria beyond their proper bounds". -Seraphim Rose
"The [materialist], out of contact with Christian life and the truth that animates it, asks the question in a spiritual vacuum and is content to accept the first answer he finds. Mistaking Christianity for another form of idealism, he rejects it and becomes a fanatical devotee of the only reality that is obvious to the spiritually blind: this world... the motives of the [materialist] are, in fact, not pure; he claims to know what, by his own theory and knowledge, cannot be known (we have seen the denial of absolute truth is itself an "absolute"); and if he does so it is because he has an ulterior motive, because he places some other worldly value about truth." - Seraphim Rose
