Nihilism

[Óttar]

Is there anyone here knowledgeable about Nihilism? Once one gets past the Nihilist paradox, i.e. "There is no objective Truth" even that that 'there is no objective Truth' can Nihilism be useful?

Nihilism is negation of something. If you say something doesn't exist or is an illusion, then you are nihilist in that respect.

Once one gets past the Nihilist paradox, i.e. "There is no objective Truth"
Objective truth nihilist may be subjective truth affirmer.

At the end of a day, paradox is pseudo synonym of contradiction. Wheres contradiction is pointed within philosophy, paradox is jumping to conclusion of contradiction in philosophical statement from the point of view of other philosophy.

even that that 'there is no objective Truth' can Nihilism be useful?
Useful is derived from goals. Wanting to use something with purpose to achieve goals means affirmation of particular goals. If something is detrimental to particular goals, then negation of that something is useful. Therefore nihilism towards things detrimental to goals is useful.
