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

For me, I mainly just focus on enjoying the limited time I have without really caring what happens in the world. World going to shit? Oh well, I still have my hobbies I can do instead of worrying about that.

Don't really have a number for your scale as I don't even know if you could call this nihilism.

I would argue this ideology falls under absurdism rather than nihilism.
