    Optimistic Nihilism is “even though there isn’t an inherent meaning to things, this woman is important to me so I prioritize her well-being even when I’m not around.”

    It’s that you define what is permissible in order to bring about the most happiness to the most important parts of your life.

    It’s not “nothing matters so everything is permissible.” That would be just regular old self-centered nihilism.
