Nihilism is life without personal values?
I mean you can happily define any term however you want.
It will cause certain kinds of issues though... but just because the community organized documentation of our massively open source project called philosophy says (very roughly):
let Nihilism: &str = "Life is without an (intrinsic|external), fixed basis for meaning."
you can absolutely redefine it in your personal REPO to mean.
let Nihilism: &str = "Life is without a personal basis for value."
But... I mean, your definition is very strange and is not aligned with the community docs, in many ways it is quite antithetical and will cause any dependent arguments or clauses to have runtime errors.
But I mean, if you want to pick a nihilism variant/alt (My favorite nihilism is Mereological Nihilism) and elevate it to be your primary definition of Nihilism that's ok!
