Isn’t that absurdism?
Meaning is relative. My life doesn’t matter, but it matters to me.
Nibbler: “What is one life, compared to the entire universe?”

So choose absurdism. Is nihilism without the suicide.

“I’m a human being god damnit. My life has value.”
… Until it doesn’t. It obviously doesn’t matter in the end, but I am here until that moment.

“Nihilists. F*ck me. I mean say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism man, at least it’s an ethos.”
