So that's a definition thing: you think nihilism means X, I think it means Y.
It's not a matter of convenience, I do genuinely believe Y not X.
If you define nihilism as a self-defeating or incoherent thing, then yes, I agree it will be self-defeating. But that wouldn't affect the kind of nihilism I hold to.
Laying aside whether or not I am a nihilist, we were having a nice chat about moral realism. It seems we made headway on that. Do you accept I reject moral realism? I assume you are a moral realist, yes?
