You want to rebel? Nihilism’s dead. Pick a North Star. Sacrifice for it. Find your meaning. Let adventure guide you. Start a family. Be a big brother/sister. This is rebellion now.

Sorta. rebel against the great weirding? Pomo and the overwhelmed->futility response to the amount of info has made nihilism the norm. Rebelling against that isnt trad. Has the structure of trad, but a self-guided hero’s journey. You pick the meaning.

I feel like true rebellion has to go further than 'choose your own meaning' these days. We tried to believe that was true with existentialism & contemporary self-help. Knowing a real-world source of meaning is imperfect, yet submitting to it anyway. Seems like the next frontier.
