ANUS.COM: American Nihilist Underground Society (A.N.U.S.) at www.anus.com
Granted, I do believe that they are using the words to actually spell the acronym (American Nihilist Underground Society) to get a bit of exposure, perhaps bad press is the best press or for a Nihilist society that claims to be underground...
While reading through the philosophy of Nihilism, it does indeed strike a cord to me that some of the other more mainstream philosophies do not. It shares a lot of beliefs with Objectivism, and a few with flat out anarchy. Which, granted is a form of government, and not a true philosophy.
I have read a lot of information on Objectivism (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism_(Ayn_Rand) ), and the belief structure there, which I was turned on to after reading the Sword or Truth series of books by Terry Goodkind.
Has anyone ever actually looked into Nihilism as a foundation for a belief structure?
to quote a wiki:
Quote:

Existential nihilism is the belief that life has no intrinsic meaning or value. It can stem from scientific analysis showing that only the physical laws contributed to our existence. With respect to the universe, a single human or even the entire human species is insignificant, without purpose and can make no real change in the totality of existence.

This makes sense to me. Like the words written here:

At the end of the day, what is all this crap? Nothing, just fun shit to think about.
