- - - - Nihilism
        The thought that nothing really matter so nothing is really worth working towards. That nothing is worth taking the time to do because it doesn't serve a great purpose.
        
        Plato vrs. Nihilism.
        I think both of these schools of thought can mean the same thing when applied to the same situation, but they can't always work because of the person in the situation. It's almost like Nihilism can have reasoning within Plato's thinking but not vice versa.
        This is a situation where a person is told to do a job. Maybe to go make 100 copies of a flyer or something. The job is just a job right now.
        If a nihilist was told to do a job, they more than likely would not do the job, because it requires putting in effort to something that doesn't appeal to them. And the person just doesn't like putting in the work.
        But a person who uses Plato's way of thinking might do the job.
        The Plato thinking person might do the job with the reasoning that it needs to be done. And since they have the belief that the job needs to be done, it could be true, so they'll probably do the job.
        But the Plato thinker could also be told to do the same job and think that the job doesn't need to be done. That at that particular time the job isn't a priority and doesn't need to be done.
        So the job, in this case, would not get done if a nihilist was asked to do it, or if a Plato thinking person had reason not to do it. The nihilist wouldn't care to give a reason for not doing the job other than because they just don't want to do it. But the Plato thinker sees why the job should get done, but wether or not they do it is their reasoning. And the Plato thinker could probably give reasoning for both sides, but they'll have to pick one.
        But all that depends on the choice that the Plato-type thinker chooses.
        Nihilism is like a one way road type of thinking with no turn arounds. While the Plato-type thinking can either go on a completely seperate road, or wedge itself onto the Nihilism road for the correct reasoning.
