I like the insight that a nihilist is an objectivist because they won’t tolerate subjective meaning. But on the other side of the same coin, a self-proclaimed objectivist who is actually a voluntarist whose meaning does not pivot self=other is every bit as much a nihilist. Moreso, perhaps. Their meaning is a wholotta nuthin.
It’s the untangler who blazes a trail through all the nihil, paving the way in gold… who finds and reestablishes the lost Eden.
Or something.
