Is it ironic that in an article about irony there is a link to an article on a philosophy premised on the meaninglessness of life that intends to preserve its meaningfulness? It's kind of funny, bordering on ironic I suppose. Irony is generally understood to involve an outcome that is contrary to expectations. It has been said that the textbook example of irony would be the bullet that nearly killed Ronald Reagan. The bullet initially missed him, but riccocheted off the bulletproof glass of his limo -- the thing meant to save him from bullets! -- and then struck him. In fact, it actually contributed greatly to his near-death: because the shooter never had a clear shot at Reagan, the initial assumption was that he had not been shot, and had simply hurt his ribs when being shoved into the car by his bodyguards following the shooting. Had he instead been shot directly, there would have been no such confusion or delay. Does an article about the meaningfulness of nihilism run contrary to expectations? If it was written by a nihilist, perhaps! If it was written by a non-nihilist, I'd say no -- it would not be unexpected for others to assign meaningfulness to a philosophy that has had some impact on the world, even if those who subscribe to the philosophy maintain that there is no meaning in things.
