      It's hard to be happy if you think the world is terrible and problems aren't soluble.https://twitter.com/cosimia_/status/1071155381395574784 …

      really important, and the extent to which we’re ignoring that. This too is a philosophical problem, and it is also why medication may not work / the person returns to their previous state as soon as they go off. We need to target our solutions, and bring philosophy back.

      But does it matter whether someone believes that? They might believe progress is an illusion/impossible for (poor) philosophical reasons but so long as that knowledge is embedded in their life in some other way, could they still be happy? How important is this belief, I wonder?

      In real life, people aren't wholly consistent in what they think. But to the extent they are, and they think bad philosophy is true, it can mess with their life. I think justificationism, for example, is directly responsible for a lot of suffering. Pessimism too.

      I’m writing an article at the moment on what I dub depressive nihilism. Whilst nihilism itself isn’t ‘bad’ in essence, often its consequences are if someone has little knowledge to counter it with. This is when it starts to negatively affect emotional and behavioural states

          That sounds really interesting. The idea being that to the extent philosophical nihilists live consistently with their belief they get depressed (ie fail to solve the problems they are interested in solving)?
