Nihilism belongs to the animals. I'm not a true nihilist; I believe that a momentary value structure is critical to the progress of a species, even if that progress is only towards nothingness. We're aware of the content and condition of moments, so we need to assign them some positive value, otherwise, we're just caught in the nihilistic animalism of existing rather than experience moments and living. We are alive and we breathe in moments and exhale experience.
That said, we're still next to nothing when compared with just about anything else. But the fact that we CAN know that is awesome.
