RE: OBJECTIVE MORALITY
I am on the other side of that [+proHUMAN] if it means that human life matters above all.
It means (each individual) human life matters above all (to each individual).

Agreed on the to each individual. Self-preservation.
Survival instinct is primary. That's why "nihilism" is incoherent.
I think it may seem more or less incoherent almost solely based on how a person feels the day. Personally I like the idea of nihilism, it is comforting, it is a good baseline which I think flirts a bit with stoicism in attitude but does not have that irritating "appreciate" aspect.
The only issue I have with that quote is what is "meaning", seems a bit like a Witch trial where you must admit to delusion or dishonesty. Then even if I admit or am that and do not know, it just does not matter at all. I breathe because I always have.
Took a moment to respond while at work, I will read and watch the rest soon I get a focus gap. Just wanted to comment to thank you for the delegation. I must ask that you remove it though as I have more than enough RC, and I don't wish to be indebted. I am very sporadic in how I engage on the platforms so I would rather not feel indebted to comment, vote or resteem posts. Same goes for your voting sprees. :)
Excellent analysis.
REAL-TRUE-FACTS are Quantifiable, rigorously defined, scientifically verifiable and or logically necessary (like NOUMENON) - AND TECHNICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY MEANINGLESS.
Unfalsifiable Qualitative, experiential, personal private, opinions and feelings are MEANINGFUL.
We are told from a very young age that our feelings don't matter.
This is a counter-factual statement (propaganda) that is used to culturally brainwash us.
MEANING = MOTIVE (E-MOTION).
Without e-motion (motive/meaning) the nihilist will not move, will not eat, and will most certainly die (unless they are "rescued" and placed on "life support").
I have delegated to you to show my appreciation (just like an upvote).
Please do not feel obligated in any way.
I know it can feel a little strange, but you owe me nothing at all.
I have rephrased that a bit through the years:
"We should not think that our feelings / opinions matter to others."
Right, sometimes they do and sometimes the don't, but it's certainly not automatic.
