You cant say nothing absolutely matters without logical breaking down because you cant use the words nothing and absolute in the same sentence. Its like trying to establish a rule out of a void. If nothing is absolute then the statement "nothing matters" cannot be absolute either. Its just a linguistic contradiction.

So alot of nihilists use examples of an exploding star, or a black hole, or the singularity to prove that human choices are meaningless, but if nothing inherently matters, so why treat cosmic events as more meaningful more than your life?

Also nihilists like to speak from a perspective of a "neutral observer" but isnt it impossible? In what part in life arent you in constant cause and effect loop?
