I always like to position nihilism like this: Just because there is no meaning with life does not mean there isn't meaning in life. You cannot be a nihilist by action only by intellect because you cannot not have a value system where somethings are prioritized over others. The very fact that you need to pee, don't want to die, love your kids and so on are all things that create this value system in life. Being a nihilist is mostly an analytical framework more than it's a way of life. The good thing is that those "in life" values we all come with are mostly enough to create stable societies and human lifes. Or put a completely different way. Nihilist do not find meaning with life, but plenty in life.
