And yet, that isn't how I understand the basic level of nihilism at all. Life, the universe, everything has not one but many points (1 if solipsistic garbage)... a point does not have to be objective/inherent for a point to there be
ARGH! This is boggling my brain to be honest. I thought the general gist of nihilism was that life had no point, no meaning? If that's not the case then what is your understanding of it?

Ahhh, someone's being clever
But if we really want to get into the nitty gritty, then I would class the 'grand scheme of things' as simply the universe as a whole. I guess it would only apply to the laws of the universe because we only understand things within those parameters. In my opinion trying to come up with theories based on things outside the laws of the universe is impossible, because it is uncomprehendable as to what might be outside the laws of the universe.
And the schemer? WHY GOD OFCOURSE! lol jk, he don't exist

And yet it has worth to me and meaning to me, therefore it is neither worthless or meaningless (As it possess both worth and meaning). And if it did have no meaning, then what precisely would you be on about? And worth/value is individual or compromised by a group of individuals... and I find that all the cool groups believe nihilism to at least be worth an occasional joke
I was agreeing up until, "and I find that all the cool groups believe nihilism to at least be worth an occasional joke". WHATS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!
