Here's where I think we both made an error (in the nihilistic perspective, that is). The idea that life is meaningless is more associated with the idea that objectivity cannot not exist (objectively). Therefore, how could meaning objectively exist (in a nihilistic perspective)? A nihilist would argue that meaning is entirely subjective and that people create and apply meaning according to their own perspectives (you know... "existence precedes essence").
Does that make any sense?
Sorta--Did you ever read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance ?
Yes, I love that book. It's one of the main reasons why I began to investigate nihilism (as well as Buddhism).
good stuff---not sure the concept of what we are talking about has a name but it reminds me of that. Quality. Real quality.
