I think nihilism is a great tool. Basically creative destruction. You can use it to negate beliefs and consider things from a new perspective. For example, a woman's place in the world. That's a pretty meaningful statement in the 1950s, right? But if you negate that belief, just as a thought experiment, A LOT of possibilities, unlimited really, arise from the destruction of that previously fixed idea. I think certainty and rigid beliefs are a lot more dangerous than willful negation.

Maximum individuality is certainly preferable too being pigeonholed by social norms. Butt sadism, for example, isn't typically wise or effective. Even if the goal was to maximize disruption or destruction. Or neutralization.
Perhaps I'm relying on a Bhuddas own internal definition of Nihilism. I believe choices matter. However. They matter certainly differently to different folks from different perspectives in different contexts. So to say something is meaningless or doesn't matter to me is absurd itself. For me. I go out of my way to avoid killing bugs. Even though from a nihilist perspective that bug is already dead, has a short lifespan anyway. Etc. I know it's absurd, butt for me it cultivates and protects me. My empathy causes me to feel miserable after killing bugs. My sense of self is more bound up in the web of life as a whole being or part of one. Therefore it is my way off of the wheel of suffering to ****avoid harming**** that which contains my body and ego within itself. And sharing my, the, world, universe, room ... body with a few bugs isn't then miserable.

I often fear survival in conflict and what I may endure or do. More than death itself.
***heads up really all the trigger warnings*** In some ways I feel that I have a duty to bare life out. Because this is it. This is the only one like this with this ego. There's a certain duty to others. I cannot hurt. And also the G-d thing. That keeps me going I guess. Albeit somewhat timidly because I don't want personally to be involved in harmful actions, thoughts, or words. Butt part of life is dealing with it. I cry a lot lately too when faced with danger directly. Which is liberating because it's better than feeling hatred and aversion. It's a lot easier in some ways to be a bystander than to have to personally face it all again.

It's probably more challenging to be an apath around hoomans than not. And that doesn't mean apaths don't suffer anyway. Even if they don't really feel it.
