Moral Nihilism

I read a bit about nihilism. Nothing matters, so there's no reason to do anything or to not do anything... so you can spend your time doing everything, and either way, the universe will not care or punish you. So if this is true, then that means that morality is not objective rule set into the universe. Nothing is good or bad, because we do not have a purpose. If something we were to do would be bad, it would have to go against our purpose. If something had to be good, it would have to follow the principles of our purpose. But we have none, so good and bad don't exist.

Maybe it's good and bad in terms of morality. But morality is a subjective things, a personal rule created by humanity because of our sensitivity or fear of being harmed.

I also read what a nihilist felt about morality on reddit. He discussed his negative viewpoints on morality, how things like "good" and "bad" strayed our minds away from our own consciousness and objective thinking. In a world without morality, facts and independence would remain constant

I had to agree a bit with him. Morality is subjective, and when using it to deal with rational or objective situations can only lead the repression of strategic thinking. It prioritizes the feelings of others/ourselves upon the essentials. This is why some people have such a hard time dealing with the truth, because truth can hurt.  And when it goes against morality, suddenly that objective fact becomes something everyone wants to forget.

However, I don't exactly think moral nihilism is something we should fully apply to this world. yes, maybe there truly is no good and bad in this world. but again, absurdism is also entwined with nihilism, so again, do what you want. Following moral nihilism increases your chances of getting hurt, doesn't it? In a world without morality, crime and hate speech would be blanketed everywhere. Sure, humans can survive insults if we put logic over feelings. But feelings still tend to come over us even if we think the "right" way here. A sudden spread in nihilism would make a few sociopaths here and there, and therefore: things like killing, stealing, and mutilating would suddenly become a common occurrence.

We obviously cannot survive without morality. An imbalance between the bad and the good could lead to a downfall in humanity, and nobody would do anything about it because "nothing matters, so you can do whatever you want because morality does not exist"

Do nihilists have a reason to live? Some of them do. So even if their beliefs conquered the world, it would just end up killing them. 

personal note: I like to follow the rules of morality but I try not to get myself to carried away into people pleasing or white lies. I like to be honest. I still do care for my friends and this world around us, and I think following morality is something that pleases me. I like seeing others smile. despite a few agreements here and there with nihilism; i'm overwhelmingly catholic so that beats any existential dread from coming to me. i can follow any ideals, right? so what if things are useless, i can still care even if the universe doesn't
