I think we've both got a hold of different patches of the elephant?

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism#Positions , you seem to be partaking of "Political Nihilism" (or at least Material Cultural Nihilism?), whereas my usual order is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_nihilism with a side of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mereological_nihilism and "Cosmic Nihilism" as dessert (all prepared in the active style).

[As to technologies I habitually use, they serve roughly as I choose them to serve — sometimes more or less. (but always under my intention of contributing to, rather than providing meaning for, my life) The question is, which is to be master — that’s all]
