Screw existence, we don't even exist to begin with!
"An extreme form of metaphysical nihilism is commonly defined as the belief that existence itself does not exist."
Well John in my view we do exist, simply because we are here and I would define that as existing.
The term 'exist' is really just an explanation for what we see around us. Existance is entirely subjective, when we are dead nothing exists, before we are born nothing exists, but whilst we are here right now I don't think you can reasonably deny that we exist and the universe we are in exists.
In terms of 'liking an idea', you know what really bugs me? I don't actually like the idea of nihilism being correct, but whenever I look at it I find it hard to find fault in what it is basically about.
