Then your worldview is fundamentally incoherent, as well as not being a nihilist one.
I don't believe it is.
Does the universe have any objective meaning itself or within it? No.
Is the universe an absurd brute fact without explanation? Yes.
Does my life have any objective value or meaning or purpose? No.
Can I create or find subjective meanings, values or purposes for my life? Yes.
Are these subjective values and meanings ultimately vain? Yes.
And absurdist, existentialist, and a nihilist would all agree with the above and there are no contradictions.
