I'm late to this, but I thought we had some philosophers on HN that pretty actively participated in discussions.
Why wasn't there a discussion on how what Sivers is explaining is the concept of NIHILISM?

What Sivers said has an underlying message: there is a meaning to life: it is that there is no objective/inherent meaning. This is important to note because of the huge ramifications this has and has had in philosophy since Nietzsche.
Unfortunately, nihilism is circular and presupposes moral relativism.
