Nihilism and Literature: Rick and Morty and the Empty

Nihilism and literature is a focus that has become prominent in our culture. This is epitomized in the television show of Rick and Morty.  This week I talk about ideas presented in the TV show, ​Rick and Morty. In the show, the universe and humans are presented as meaningless. After talking at some length about meaninglessness in the world, I talk about how pain leads to searching and how searching can lead to the creation of really good art, Nihilism and Literature, if you will.
