How popular is Nihilism?

Question

is anyone else out there a nihilist? It truly is the most correct view of the world and this is easy to figure out with some logic. But i believe it has made my life better and made me happier as a result.

Answer 1

You cannot figure out life with nihilistic logic if this is the definition of nihilsm:

"The doctrine that nothing, or nothing of a specified and very general class, exists, or is knowable, or is valuable. Thus Gorgias held that

Nothing exists;

Even if something did exist it could not be known;

Even if it were known this knowledge could not be communicated.

Schopenhauer's pessimism and denial of the Will expresses a nihilistic attitude toward the so-called values of the world. As a social doctrine Nihilism is the belief that progress is possible only through the destruction of all social and political organizations. "

So, if nothing is known or knowable, how does logic work?
