[QUOTE=Yakk]You can value nothing, believe nothing, and be happy. You just have to believe dispair is nothing. =)

and Hence the conundrum. If you believe that dispair is nothing, then you are basing a dicision on a belief - the beliefe that dispair is nothing, and therefore this in not a true nihilist notion.
For that to work, you have to beleive that there is nothing that you could believe that would cause your to dispair and so dispair does not exist because nothing can cause it to exist.
Nihilism - the beleif system that makes you play seamntics without the fun of believing that you've actually accomplished the mental gymnastics that you actually did perform. My belief system? I believe that nihilism is nothing. Ouch.
