Nihilism can be liberating and a source of joy. Why does there have to be "meaning", whatever that is? Perhaps the issue is that we don't prepare young people properly for it and have an over-reliance on "god". Realizing that you can live your life as you wish is amazing.

You aren't taking nihilism seriously enough.

nihilism is not liberating or joyful, that is squishy lastman talk

it drove nietzsche insane, and he was much smarter and greater than any of us

nihilism is terrible and heroic and demonic, and possibly true

but i don't think so
