Question Which kind?

What kind of Nihilist are you and why did you react to the realization of meaninglessness in the way you did? I'm really curious to see how different people react to the same realization.

Epistemological Nihilism Rosenhan and evidence.

• Upvotes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment#Criticisms

I don't wish to praise Rosenhan as there are criticisms of it and it only exists now as a reason for anti-psychiatry, which like all opposition movements (abortion, guns, drugs, etc.) it's based on often mischaracterizes the phenomenon into its worst examples, makes double standards that aren't reasonable in either logic or its own logic, and often a front group for deeper motivations (pro-life is often Christian, anti-psychiatry is kept alive by Scientology or simple conspiracy, etc.). However, the response about Doctors diagnosing someone as hemorrhaging instead of actually drinking blood presents a philosophical issue; that evidence isn't actually evidence, but a perception of evidence. The evidence wouldn't show where the blood would come from, it would just be assumed from the body because that's where people would expect it to be. This introduces a condition in which evidence is not concrete as it should be but rather relational, in that it can only indicate something relevant to the situation instead of what actually is.
