i think at last i can distinguish your nihilism as yours. not clearly, and i'm not really sure actually i "get" it, but i think i see some of it. it's not like i could put it into some preexisting box, so i'll need to think about it to understand it.
i'm going to read the shit out of that paragraph. i hope you don't mind.

yeah go ahead mang.
there are big holes in what im saying.
baudrillard said humanity was "disappearing". he meant this in a positive way. i think maybe its the best we can hope for.
i dont have any other ideas. if there was some perspective we could grasp on this all that could allow us to recapture the good then i'd be all for it, but i dont think there is.
thats why i am so sick and outraged and unhappy. there isnt anything good at all about any of this.
one perspective i tried was the idea that existence might be redeemed by the eventual evolution of life and the technosphere towards something that could destroy both itself and the conditions in this and every other universe for life to start again.
if that is even possible then all it does is make life sad and tragic.
i dont have any other ideas.
