It is, if you come to the conclusion nothing matters then you congratulate yourself every time you feel like shit, because its the logical thing to do. Its self reinforcing. Your brain rewards you for figuring things out, even if they ultimately make you feel like shit.

Philosphy won't help with that, you need art, or at least an ability to see value in art.

The people of the far future will see this part of human history as the most poignant and romantic. It's the time after we became sentient, but before we became immortal. Even further in the future, when humans have become indestructible as well as immortal, there will be debates as to which is more tragic, the death of a being that lives less than a century, or the death of an immortal. Both cases will be ends they don't have to cope with.

I've spent time wondering what would hold any interest for an immortal, indestructible intelligence. Probably the unknown.

Consider the differences between an omnipotent God and a human being. That which separates us from God is the source of all worth and interest. You are right when you say the unknown. Limitation and partial blindness are the only cures to the nothingness inherent to the infinite.

Why should i indulge you? You already explained it to yourself with your snide remark. But I will bite. Nihilism states everything is pointless and mankind is malignantly worthless. So if you took the time to read into nihilism why would you want to outrun a concept that is inevitable and constantly present. It is like the : You can't unsee what you have seen.

Also truth is an opinion and obsolete. Even death could be an illusion.

Exactly, why should and why shouldn't are both meaningless to you, just like everything else. By the way this includes your own conception of Nihilism as true. But why don't you actually entertain us and give an argument for your position rather than telling people to just "read into it".

There is nothing wrong with nothingness after death, do you not realize how that is the ultimate tranquility?

You've got this existence to experience this phenomenon, that isn't to say you're correct about nothing after death though; the fact of the matter is that we simply don't know.
