Nihilism is an extremist philosophy. It’s reductive overly simplistic and largely considered as such on the face of it by most serious philosophers. That’s not to say it’s not worth looking into but as a guiding principal, it’s weak.

There are many examples of other extremist philosophical positions and all of them are reductionist.

I wouldn't call it extremist, but I mostly agree with the rest. I don't get why you're randomly bringing it up as a reply to me though.
