Does it? And should we interpret "seeming like that" as a weakness?

I believe in nihilism as a starting point for creativity. Past that, I have no further thoughts on the subject.

That must mean you're going to start yet another thread on it then.

I mean that everyone believes in something. You really can't believe in nothing.

A wide and vague label covering a variety of philosophical positions, such as not believing in God, meaning, morality, freewill, true knowledge.

It's exactly what nihilism is. The explicit intellectual rejection of apparent meaning and apparent facts. People will still be people, nihilists are people. I strongly doubt that any nihilist on earth can manufacture an apparent nihilism. AKA, everybody, believes in something. This runs the gamut from having hilarious rationalizations for whatever meaning and fact one experiences as an intellectual nihilist to having no such thing, appreciating the absurdity of knowing that what you're feeling is wrong or simply non cognitive, and feeling it anyway.
