My nihilist take of the day: Maybe sometimes its just for the best to do nothing, you can not fix all of the worlds issues yourself after all. Maybe spend your attention on something less important no one really cares about.

Rate your nihilism at a scale X out of 10. For me it is perhaps a 6

There’s something called ”positive nihilism“ that I feel works super well for me to keep the doom and gloom at bay. Like if nothing matters - you’re free. If it doesn’t matter what you do, then do whatever makes you feel good! It doesn’t matter to go to that event because you’ll die at some point anyway? Well then go to an event that you want to go to because you’ll feel good, or don’t! So to answer the question haha, maybe like a 4/10
