My philosophy would have to be a combination of constructivism, pessimism, nihilism, selfism, and liberalism (with a portion of conservatism). To me, “meaning” and “morality” are subjective, those two concepts can’t be put in a scientific lab and experimented on, so I view those two concepts as essentially relative. I’m a nihilist in the sense that my life doesn’t have any meaning scientifically (or empirically), so I give myself meaning and morality through my subjective interpretation of what I see as “good” or “bad”, also, from reading philosophers opinions on those topics. I fill the void with my own relative creation of ideas concerning meaning and morality. When it concerns pessimism, I am only a pessimist when I think of the inevitable and what to do when it approaches (preparing myself for the worst). I tend to have a liberal mindset when it comes to certain ideas of knowledge such as morality, meaning, and experience. My conservative mindset deals with science (already established facts), being somewhat apathetic in different circumstances and maintaining my apathy, the same goes for my antipathy. I respect constructivism, I can construct my own morality, meaning, and my particular intake of constructivism has encouraged me to build new things, whether it be concepts, physical things such as my computers, particle accelerator (small one), or objects as simple as my Gundam figurines. Selfism isn’t for everyone, it’s a philosophy that tends to be ridiculed, however, I have always viewed my selfhood as being very important, selfism helps me realize that not everyone in the world cares for one another, it has helped not to trust certain individuals, and selfism has contributed to my goals in life, because only I know what I want to do with my future, and how I can achieve my goals in the future. So there’s my philosophy (or my many different philosophies).
