1. All moral principals are denied of consisting of universal truth of any kind whatsoever. A tremondous number of moralities exist among human cultures. Each of them serves their subjects in a more or less practical and beneficial manner. Each of them gets their subjects through life. However they are synthetic. There is no ONE way to live out one's life. There is no universal source of morality in the traditional sense whatsoever (i.e. none has been found). Morals are typically well tied with dieties and/or the supernatural, thus the categorical imperative of following the morality is enforced by a non-human retribution. In other words, morality is often given verity because the gods will punish you if you don't follow. People, however, are usually apathetic and habit forming and thus tend not to care about the origin of their own personal morality; and do the gods are usually a nice legend-like suppliment to tradition, while retribution is saved for use against heretics or to encourage/help-in-some-way asceticism and self punishment. The work if Immanuel Kant was a step toward Nihilism, as he taught the world of the subjective nature of the Christian God, and argued that Christian morals should be followed, not for their sanctity but, for their practicality. Kant, however, failed to see the depth of his discovery, as he still did not see the narrow (and many times impractical) nature that Christian ethics consist of. Furthermore, Kant failed to grasp the fact that he had not reformed the Christian system of values, instead, he was one of the first to, without his own intention, make religious authority systems redundant for humans. Kantian ethics are not Christian, because they are somewhat rational, however, nor are they Nihilistic, because they lack the full perspective and objectivity that is needed for this state of being. Despite the errors which Kant dismissed in it, his work must be regarded as a step in the cultural evolution of civilized man.

2. Nihilism is the struggle against all forms of tyranny, hypocrisy, and artificiality, and is the struggle for individual freedom. This individual freedom is of course subjective, for not even Nihilists would try to flee from the strict determinism that rules the universe. Trying to flee from this law of nature never results in anything but ignorant denial. However, facing this determinism brings humans slightly closer to freedom, as it reveals to them a world where there are for more possibilities than in the subjective world of those in denial.

3. No form of astheticism has truth or meaning of any kind beyond the ideas held by humans. Art, music, writing, and language are all human inventions. They possess no cosmic relevance of any sort. There is no cosmic or self-compelling source of these patterns, thus their verity is nil.

4. Utilitarianism is important. One has been given emotions and feelings to be guided through life, so one must not ignore them. However, it is important to be able to define and know the difference between subjective variables and objective invariables. We may perceive a situation differently than the objective truth of it is, this does however in no way indicate that we can change objects with our senses, nor does this mean that the objective invariables of this world are lost to us. For example, most humans are fond of stating that we cannot not tell the nature of death, since the dead cannot speak to the living, and that this leaves the possibility of there being a life after this one. This kind of arguing is a typical example of the fallacies we find ourselves in when we fail to draw the line between objectivity and subjectivity. The fact of death is that our organic matter stops functioning in a way that supports our activity called "living", and this is the complete end for all our experiencing. This fact is an example of an objective invariable, which no subjective variable can ever change. We may beleive whatever we are conditioned to concerning death, while we are still alive, but when we die the nature of this event will effect us all in the exact same manner.

5. Scientific rationalism and discovery are the only truths. Observation is the only way to discover the truth. Traditional idealism is a curse for it is usually not reflective of reality. Our "belief" is in nothing but scientific truth, and living our lives as practical and natural as possible knowing this truth. Science is the source of true knowledge (i.e. knowledge of any worth and real-life verity). The only "evil" is ignorance. Humans tend to wallow in their ignorance, and for them it is usually a bliss. The only way to learn about the world is to look at it and think about what you saw, not sitting in libraries checking to make sure that the "ancients" whose "wisdom" so many people revere agree with you. One ought, for example, to know better than to trust people who, thanks to their religious dogmatism, thought that the Earth was a flat plate until the late 21th century. This includes Bible idiots who take the word of "God" as exact even though the Bible was written three hundred years after the death of Christ, whose "miracles" are most likely apocryphal, and definately did not appear as depicted in the Bible or any other work of fiction. Now can you imagine remembering the exact words of your great-great-great-great-etc. grandfather three hundred some years ago only through oral tradition? Look, learn, and strip myths to nothing, and learn to laugh at, and live in peace with, the people who fail to do this.

6. The social sciences are practical for our learning about human society, the concepts within this science serve us well when it comes to define events in the world. However, one must always remember that the social sciences are about subjective variables, not in any way about objective truth. The existence of subjective variables is an objective invariable, however, this is where the relevance of the subjective ends, and this equation cannot be turned around either.

7. Classical philosphies, religions, and politics are misleading and idealistic. God is dead. The metaphysical is a joke. Politics and the state are for sheep and cattle. Belief in any of these is not warranted. Great atrocities have been commited due to false or misleading ideas. The above tend to hold people in ignorance of truth because their primary loyalty is to the doctrine or the state of God. Typically revolutionary thoughts are put down by these faiths even when those thoughts are correct. All of this makes common beliefs and idealism less practical than Nihilism, which is the only reason to why Nihilists refrain from them.

8. Nihilism is not to be seen as a revolt against the established order. It is to be seen as a preminition of what the human society will look like everywhere once the cultural system has become dominant through the educational revolution. Materialism and positivism are acceptable doctrinces as observation has confirmed them. Materialism because there is no supernatural or spiritual element to anything, quite contrary the most people's beliefs. No veritable supernatural phenomena have occured. Reports of such come from people with weak minds (ones barely capable of scepticism and who do not recognize just how powerful their minds can be). Reports are due to quasi-delusive and delusive states. People tend to misjudge their minds thinking that their senses never lie. They fail to draw the analogy of dreaming while sleeping to delding while in a mental state. Legends of messiahs appearing are false. Either the messiahs were invented by the propounders of the religion to encourage belief or were magicians or tricksters of some sort who performed. The accounts of the latter messiahs are often exaggerated beyond plausability of materialism in order to surround the God and messiah with an air of wonder and awe. UFO phenomena are not necessarily implausible, as it would seem narrow to state that "we are alone" in this vast universe. All of the present reports, however, are probably hoaxes. It is absolutely within possibility that there are other intelligent forms of life existant.

9. There is no worthy human source of authority. All authority of the church, state, and family is denied entirely. Family, friend, and all other kinds of social bonds are worthless and not recognized. They have no cosmic significance of any sort. No human can possibly exercise TRUE authority over another. This is meant in that nature does not care who your favorite friends are. The laws of physics are just the same for all; no one is treated any different. The universe does not grant exceptions to the rules. This goes for persons with political power. They are just as human (capable of erring) as anyone else. They are endowed pretty much just like anyone else. The way to be a competant leader is to accumulate knowledge and skill, and be a hard worker. The only exception from the rejection of authority, is when the authority is rational and beneficial for all its subjects. This state of being, however, has not yet occured in human history, which is why rational authority can only be put in practise by individuals.

10. The dualities of humans is denied. Man is not a combination of body and soul, or spiritual and material substance. There is no divine guidance. Life forms are deterministic (guided by laws of physics). The element to humans that we grant ourselves primarily through our own arrogance is the complexity of behavior (reactions and inventions) brought about by the number of components in our bodies and minds. Thinking that humans have this "divine" element is irrational. In a sense, the comedians of this world are very precise when they refer to humanity's view of itself, death and gods, with the words: "That is something we just made up!".

11. After collapsing the metaphysical and theological only a perverse sense of purposelessness and meaninglessness remains. The triumph of meaninglessness is the triumph of Nihilism. The universe presents no meaning to observers objectively looking for meaning and non-material powers in the universe. The mathematics are the only truths of any sort. There is no meaning to be had. This must be recognized, acknowledged by all, and dealt with. All other beliefs are not well founded and easily toppled. All other beliefs are misleading and perversions of truth. Embrace the void.

12. There are surrogate Gods. Television, nationalism, that of Christians and other religions across the Earth, money, power, addiction, and above all, the clock. Each of these is self important in one way or the other. Each of these is considered a source of truth, a place or thing which provides one with driving force, whether those who listen acknowledge their addiction to these sources or not. None of the above have any transcendent value or purpose, they are man made not God made and are self-important and self-justifying (they go unquestioned by their believers). The slaughter of rivals and the conquest of the Earth have proceeded and will proceed in the future under the banners of God, money, power over others, Television and posted propaganda, and the universal brotherhood and grandeur of the state be it democratic or socialist or any other kind. Capitalism is abusive to humanity. The purpose of the capitalist is to get your money in exchange for a relatively cheap product. They abuse the enormous power of the Television and have perverted the world into a place where money is something of enormous value. Money has become an unfortunate medium which is now a source of status and power, and allows some to lead lavish lives while others live in poverty and vice and starve to death. Captalism is still, by far, the most practical and beneficial economic system so far discovered by man. Meaning that while we might find better ways to live by means of new discoveries, we should never return to the brutish states that has been tried before in this case. It is imperative to remember that, with all its imperfections and unfortunate present characteristics, society is evolving.

13. There is a God. It is Evolution. It is our creator. It tells us what is important in life and what we must do in life. It decides whether we live or die. It is a God in the traditional sense. It is a discovery of science, and is a long established truth. God is a mechanism. It is self-righteous and self-justified. It is not human in creation. It is a human objective observation though. It has no creator but is a derivative of mathematic theory and a generalization of materialism. Wherever and whenever there is matter (objects to be governed) it is present. It is omniprescient and everlasting. It is everywhere and will always exist. It does not listen to the cries of one, but treats all matter equally with the same laws (as discovered by physicists). Science is the gathering of knowledge, and does not tell one how the universe works; that is physics. God's commandments are survival and procreation. Other commandments would be misleading. God gives us no answers for how we live out our lives. It cares not for us at all. It only gives us obligations (survival and procreation) the remainder is up to the indiviual or society. Survival and procreation are, however, by no means values that we ought to follow: our God (i.e. nature) merely makes us feel as though we want to. For example, it would be contradictive to say that suicide is "wrong", while it is an established truth that is is 1, a contradictive act in itself and 2, not natural behavior.

14. One or more than one must do what they can (make decisions) according to what they know and the easiest most convenient way they know how. That is the individual's or individuals' responsibility. Existentialism is thus adopted.

15. Perspectivism and existentialism are necessary consequences of our existence. We cannot know everything and see everything all at once. To do so is not characteristic of our material existence. There are no immaculate perceptions. All knowledge comes from a point of view. Only after much observation can one begin to understand something. Often anologies are useful in relating objects of similar types, but a check must be done before trust in the analogy is warranted. To see an object or concept from an all-inclusive perspective is as incoherent as seeing this object or concept from every vantage point simultaneously. Science/physics do not violate perpectivism. Once an idea of how the universe works or looks has been tested many different times from many different perspectives, it becomes very unlikely that an idea which passed all the tests is entirely wrong. But once greater levels of scrutiny are achieved, we can then look further and undermine what we once thought was true for that which is more general and includes what we once believed if we over-simplify. Following this line of thinking, we can let our knowledge undergo evolution rather than becoming subjective dogmatism.

16. Nihilism has been abused. When one takes a few of the principles as truth and not all them all one is misled. Nietzsche has been used by the Nazis to justify the genocide of the Jews, the selective artificial breeding of a master/super-human race, and the conquest of the Earth by the Aryan race. Which is ironic, since Nietzche did not even call himself a Nihilist. Other authors' ideas have been abused. They were thought to justify terrorism and social disorder. Terrorism is not an effective/practical mean of achieve ends. It brings hatred for the terrorists and almost never achieves long term goals. Social disorder is not necessarily something to be desired. Humans are social creatures and must work together for survival. Disorder is not necessarily a desirable state, instead, disored is the deterministic result of systems that are not functioning. A dynamic society must necessarily be heretogenous and differentiated, or even better, educated. Homogeneity is only for redundant unstable systems, whereby the individuals are fighting against the elimination of entire sectores of their society. Most of the Nihilist's creed are intuitive. Humanity and life forms are not given any special place in the universe. They are to be treated only as organizations of self-coordinated matter and little else. Humans and other organisms have methods which systematically classify patterns, which are otherwise meaningless (a.k.a. qualitative observation). These are generalizations often made to fit their emotional disposition toward a pattern. I.e. something is beautiful, or funny, etc. Observation is put at a premium. Only long term observations and well thought out, easily accessable conclusions are true. Only that which can be verified is believable. Total distrust of the senses is irrational. It does not help the individual in any way. Distrust of the senses, as in our bodies make grave mistakes on occasion esp. the mind, is an acceptable and sometimes necessary postulate. The universe is deterministic. "God [nature] does not play dice," as Einstein was fond of saying. The universe is governed by laws which may or may not be, have been or are yet to be, learned. The universe is a perfectly working clock. All of its functions are preformed with perfect mechanical [analogy only, as apposed to electrical, etc] precision and accuracy. Experimental error is the result of underlying turbulence or elements that cannot necessarily be seen. A problem with Nihilism is that people are not ready for this knowledge. Our emotions have not evolved to match our wisdom, and in most cases this wisdom is not being conditioned enough either. Embracing the Nothingness is incomprehensible. The void is hurtful to the believers. It is the hurt when you realize that your beliefs were wrong. You are in a transitory state and you have nothing to guide you. This is the pain of Nihilism. The Nihilist doesn't even have a soul to comfort them. A Nihilist, in order to survive and live normally, must adopt values, however temporary, in order to deal with life. They may adopt them for whatever reason they see fit, for they have no beliefs to get in the way, or if they do have contrary beliefs, acts can be done with an undetectable grin of sarcasm. Nihilists are perfectly flexible. They fully realize that there are different modes of thought and existence, and they have one that negates all. They can take on any without loss of clarity. Before they respond to any question (assuming that they are in a fully general mode) they must ask, what is the purpose? What is the pathway that you want to make me follow in constructing a solution? There are so many ways of getting to the same answer. After you tell me what I am working towards, it is a simple matter of analyzing and processing. There is nothing to get frustrated about. By adopting a particular mode of existence and thought, this is taken care of for them. God (i.e. nature) is general about how one is to live out life. God cares not for the path you take in life so long as you pray toward Mecca five times a day and refuse to eat pork (survive in order to procreate). Nihilism is the most flexible philosophy, and thus the most practical.

17: When/if you manage to understand all the above, and apply it to your life, you will soon find that you will, by doing so, be a much more content, calm, (and in most cases) succesful individual. For you will then not only know the truth about the world, but you will also know how to derive the most pleasure out of it as possible, since you will be as practical as can be.
