He is obviously referring to the form of nihilism inherent to the worship of science, where existence is meaningless as the laws of physics point to the entropy of everything, including the universe itself.
Matthew Price
Yet the greatest scientists of past and recent times all were optimistic people entangled with the beauty of the world.
Easton Diaz
Because someone who is smart enough to truly embrace nihilism once they accept it wouldn't have the motivation to become a great scientist. The argument your post is trying to make is fundamentally flawed. It's like saying all fast runner like running
Daniel Sullivan
Fedora lords don't make great scientists and Niggers like running
Zachary Lopez
Modern scientists that get pushed into the media (Dawkins, Carroll, Krauss, etc.) are more concerned with going on self-congratulatory atheism tours than actually contributing to their fields or encouraging a healthy interest in science. I've met many optimistic and driven scientists at university, but these aren't the scientists getting lauded by the public.
Dylan Long
Why is there a non scientist like Bill Nye there?
William Stewart
Senku is literally the opposite of nihilism.
This is a HUMANITY FUCK YEAH series.
Nicholas Howard
It's literally Gurren Lagann but slower and without robots, yet.
Ian Ortiz
seething
Adam Kelly
And actually good
Aaron Hughes
based thread. dr stone is peak shounen.
Nathaniel Morgan
Although Tyson and Nye have degrees, they are not scientists, but are pushed by the media as authorities on scientific subjects.
Ayden Russell
I'd rather Nye than Dawkins be the face of science to the public. Dawkins is a joke. And Tyson is a scientist even if he's also a joke like Dawkins.
Colton Ortiz
I haven't heard a peep from Dawkins in years.
>but these aren't the scientists getting lauded by the public.
Well, no shit, those scientists aren't looking to become public figures and the ones you listed gains infamy because they make people butthurt and cause arguments over religion.
Nolan Anderson
That's because he went Islamophobic
Michael Nguyen
Who hasn't?
Dominic Cruz
Anyone with a working brain
Jordan Watson
Senku's personality is actually fucking hot
I love his smugness yet he's such a nice guy
Daniel Ward
really makes you think
Jaxson Watson
What? No. Senku is nothing like Rick. Senku loves civilization, enjoys learning and applying science, and takes every opportunity he can to educate those around him.
Anthony Lewis
I mean I have nothing against the theism itself but leading your life after guidelines made for people living in scarcely fertile hot lands past the modern times is just retarded
Thomas Hughes
It's a shitpost, user.
Noah Thompson
Is this show actually good? Most threads I've seen seem to be shit talking it in the OP.
Jaxson Green
It's good. Yea Forums is just shitposting.
Tyler Wood
Read the manga, it's fun.
Elijah Edwards
Faith has been responsible for dragging science into reason long before it was a meme for the opposite
Andrew Watson
Blame American Evangelicals and Saudi Wahhabis for being exceptionally stupid in modern times.
James Perry
He's not smug though. Smugness is excessive pride on your achievements and well Senku is pretty much bringing humanity back from extinction. His confidence is well deserved.
Dominic Martin
I gringed.
Jace Bell
Senku is clearly not a nihilist. He's obviously both a positivist(His belief that only science can supply him with knowledge) and a humanist(his love for the potential humanity has by grasping reason and utilizing it to better our lives).
If he was a nihilist, he would be trapped in a logical paradox. His greatest desires would be meaningless and he would lack motivation to do anything, he wouldn't even be capable of putting his friends before himself if he cared for nothing at all. Considering his love for logic, he most likely is staunchly against it in all it's form. Epistemological nihilism(extreme skepticism), moral nihilism, existential nihilism, metaphysical nihilism, Senku would reject all of them.
Matthew Wright
>the laws of physics point to the entropy of everything, including the universe itself.
None of us are going to live that long, nobody we know will ever know anyone who will live that long. Why do you care?
Sebastian Flores
Yeah he never really acts smug at all
He has an extremely smug looking face though which is where I guess the smug comments come from
Angel Adams
OP was obviously baiting you with a shitpost.
Nicholas Thomas
And you just bumped it.
Brody Wright
ok, so what is the reason why people are made stone in dr stone?
Robert Sullivan
I TURNED MYSELF INTO A STONE, MORTY!
Dominic Stewart
“One cringes to hear scientists cooing over the universe or any part thereof like schoolgirls over-heated by their first crush. From the studies of Krafft-Ebbing onward, we know that it is possible to become excited about anything—from shins to shoehorns. But it would be nice if just one of these gushing eggheads would step back and, as a concession to objectivity, speak the truth: THERE IS NOTHING INNATELY IMPRESSIVE ABOUT THE UNIVERSE OR ANYTHING IN IT.”
― Thomas Ligotti, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race
Wyatt Morris
i hate Nihilism
it seems we are enemies
Zachary Fisher
I love Senku, but he is clearly autistic and doesn't seem to care about anything, though I guess that's a blessing in some aspects. He does have a shit load of self confidence and self esteem. I'm somewhat envious of that because I have zero self confidence.
Owen Hughes
i also love his wicked sense of humor, he reminds me of me
Nathan White
That’s a writer, not a scientist.
Tyler Rodriguez
Truly spoken like someone who doesn't understand e^(iπ)+1 = 0.
