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

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)?

Pretty much!
