in my opinion nothing can be meaningless. its just not. alot of nihilists see life as meaningless, however that cant deny the fact that they are experiencing life. and the fact that your experiencing something means that the thing that is being experienced serves a purpose. and that purpose is to be experienced, which would mean that if something serves a purpose it cannot be meaningless. there are many things that people see as meaningless. such as, war,violence,racism,love,jealousy,and hate. however while the person thinks these things are meaningless, they are not. it serves a purpose in one way or another whether its there for you disagree upon or to make reference and base ideas for or against it. I think that the biggest flaw in nihilism is that the point of it is to prove the pointlessness in things such as life. However the fact that they are stating pointlessness is still nonetheless stating. And in order to state something you have to make a point. It’s a point in pointlessness. It’s a self defeating and a self contradictory way of looking at things.
