Long term Nihilists

I'll go with this, which is from wikipedia.


Quote: Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

But also per Wikipedia:

Quote: A proposition is generally considered objectively true (to have objective truth) when its truth conditions are met and are "bias-free"; that is, existing without biases caused by, feelings, ideas, etc. of a sentient subject.


So where does one find anything which is "bias free?"  Does it sit on the ideal chair or under the ideal sofa?

I'm perfectly happy with my subjective life full of personal biases.  If that makes me a nihilist by the above definition (which I don't grant as coherent) then so be it.  I share my biases with most of my community and we make up our own very satisfying purposes, thank you very much.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
