I've actually been thinking on this a lot lately for reasons and I agree. Nihilism isn't meant to be an end state, it's a filter. You bottom out in life and you hit the filter of nothing has inherent meaning, no one cares, and no one is coming to save you. I mean, I'm a Christian, so it's a slight modification to only eternal things, the things of God, have inherent meaning because they're the only things that last, but that's just Ecclesiastes, go read it. So you either get filtered, sink into nihilistic hedonism "Nothing matters," or you pass through the filter, learn that you decide the meaning of things, no one cares and that's a good thing, because you can just do things. Maybe the climb back out of the abyss is Sisyphean, but you can imagine Sisyphus happy. Existentialism is about getting out of the Abyss. If we've learned anything the last two weeks, make it You Can Just Do Things.
The things I think about when I'm supposed to be working, chasing loose thoughts down.
