Who says I'm a nihilist? I aim to reconstruct moral values in aesthetic terms, in the context of naturalistic philosophy. (Some links below.)

I appreciate the sentiment that we shouldn't waste our life with over-analysis. But there's also a danger of under-analysis or of oversimplification, which sustains the grand frauds.

Just as some folks used to be called as shamans, some individuals are called to philosophical doubt, I think, which means they sacrifice their chance at delusion-based happiness for knowledge and for the sorrow that comes with an alienated, objective standpoint.
