You Are NOTHING and Will Be Forgotten Like Insects: NIHILISM

Why are we here?

What if nothing truly matters — not love, not morality, not even life itself?
This video explores the darkest idea in philosophy: nihilism — the belief that life has no inherent meaning, purpose, or value. It’s a view that has haunted humanity for centuries.

In this video, I’ll explain:

What nihilism actually means
Why it’s such a dangerous, darkest and seductive idea
And what some of the greatest minds — like Friedrich Nietzsche, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, and Albert Camus — said about how to face it.

We'll explore how nihilism leads to despair, what’s wrong with giving in to meaninglessness, and how some philosophers tried to answer it — with ideas like existentialism, absurdism, and moral responsibility without belief.

If you’ve ever asked “Why am I here?”, or “Is there any point to anything?” — you’re not alone. This is a raw, unfiltered dive into existential dread, spiritual crisis, and the deepest psychological and philosophical questions we can ask.
