The 21st Century Extrinsic or Distal Nihilist is an Existentialist?


Extrinsic [exotic, foreign, alien, actual ... as in Unknown] or Distal Nihilist:  All Human values are acquired, learned, derived ... and reveal the human condition. There are no Real Human Values (RHV) other than those parentally/socially imposed on children and perpetuated by proximal adults.  Actual Human Values (AHV) genetically exist.  AHV exist as part of evolution inheritance; Hence, we observe "Value" behaviors in other primates, mammals, and fish ... birds.  Ascription of human values to gods and fear of divinity, dogma ... fantasy retribution abandons reason and freewill; Thereby, enslaving the person to the contrived a/o conniving vaunted values of hubris persons. 

The Distal Nihilist understands unknown fears are irrational and natural.  Naturally (even for humans) unknowns will provoke curiosity, then the seeking to know the unknown.  These natural behaviors have been observed in puppies, kittens, infant primates ... and are essential to evolution.  Yes, babies are not practical they will try to hug a lion or pet an alligator; Therfor, elders (parents, siblings ...) provide practical lessons and inducements that mitigate the risk, which natural curiosity causes.  These practical lessons starts a lifecycle of unquestioning loyalty to family/community authority and an understanding of repercussions.  Guilt as the genetic component (as are most emotions) promotes greater conformity to social strictures.  Repercussions cause suppression (Fear) or repression (Reason) towards curiosity (an emotion).  Fear has real optional responses, then panic, faint, or run. Fear lacks actual Reason skills required within novel/anomalous environments.

Distal Nihilist are existentialist that dismiss the contrived and commonly accepted RHV as easy explanations that patronize persons of faith/myth communities. 

Why do I differentiate with the words "Real" and "Actual" in my discussion (with myself) about "Human Values," because my observations frequently explained value behavior discrepancies (by self and others) with a few sayings/quotes?

1.  Reality is self-induced hallucination.
2.  Reality ain't actuality.
3.  Reality is a personal affliction.
4.  Dogma affected persons cannot reason effective.
