My nihilist take of the day: Maybe sometimes its just for the best to do nothing, you can not fix all of the worlds issues yourself after all. Maybe spend your attention on something less important no one really cares about.

Rate your nihilism at a scale X out of 10. For me it is perhaps a 6

    If anything, your position is in opposition to nihilism.

    There are different kinds of nihilism. Your position is in contradiction with the “purest” form. The absence of an object value in anything and everything. Your position clearly values personal consent.

    There are other kind of nihilism, like political nihilism, might not be in conflict with your position. On the other hand, existential nihilism, the belief that there is no inherent meaning/value in life, might seem to align with your position but I think it is difficult to argue in favor of consent, even to being alive, while believing that life is inherently meaningless. I mean, why does the consent of a meaningless being matter to anyone? Of course, you could took an adsurdism position to it but then I would argue that calling you nihilistic would be a mischaracterization.
