What if life really doesn’t have any meaning — is that the end, or just the beginning? In this post, I dive into the philosophy of nihilism and how thinkers like Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and Sartre dealt with the void. Spoiler: they didn’t just accept the nothingness — they built something out of it. Whether it's through creating values, finding beauty in suffering, or embracing radical freedom, this is about finding purpose despite (or maybe even because of) the lack of one.
What can we learn from Eastern philosophy? While Plato was busy arguing in the Agora, Confucius was teaching that good government starts at the dinner table. Meanwhile, Laozi was wandering off into the mountains telling everyone to chill, and Nāgārjuna was quietly dismantling reality itself. Eastern philosophy isn’t just incense and inner peace—it’s a rich, complex tradition full of practical wisdom, mind-bending insights, and questions that are still worth asking today. In this blog, we explore three of the most influential Eastern philosophers and what their teachings can offer our modern, often very overthinking, Western minds. Spoiler: sometimes the best answer is no answer at all.
Philosophy is a lot like ice cream—there are countless flavors to choose from, and most of us stick to our favorites without exploring the rest. Stoicism, Nihilism, Absurdism, Existentialism—each offers a unique way to see the world, but why limit yourself to just one? In this blog, we explore how different philosophical perspectives can shape your outlook on life. Should you take Epictetus’ advice and choose the handle that makes life easier? Or embrace Nietzsche’s strength through struggle? The answer isn’t about picking the “right” philosophy—it’s about knowing your values and using the right tool for the moment. So, what’s your flavor? 🍦
