| I'm a Zeroist, a philosophy of Militant Skepticism, Revolutionary Nihilism, and Radical Social Egoism. It is comprised of 8 basic principles:
1) The Agnostic Materialism Principle:
Either the universe is entirely material, or it is not and I am unaware of its other nature.
2) The Existential Principle:
The inescapable temporariness of life, and subsequently that of my existence, deems both to be utterly meaningless.
3) The Knowledge Principle:
Knowledge is only that which is directly observable, testable, or reasonably deduced through scientific methods.
4) The Semantics Principle:
Definitions are neither absolute nor objective, and set arbitrary boundaries that may hinder progressive thinking.
5) The Sovereignty Principle:
No being has any inherent authority to dictate the thoughts or actions of any other; every manifestation of authority is either cooperative or violent.
6) Social Deconstruction Principle:
All social systems and institutions that are exploitive, destructive, and/or founded on false assumptions—which includes all existing political, religious, and social systems—ought to be renounced and overthrown.
7) The Realism Principle:
Failure to accept the implications of existence, thereby succumbing to romanticisms, only serves to distract our attentions from reality—projecting emotions onto the material world, adding undue complexity—and as such is counterproductive.
8) The Social Egoism Principle:
The only logical pursuit is that of my personal survival and contentment, and I am justified in attaining these by any available and necessary means. |
