Human: Can you give me a simple explanation of what nihilism is?

Assistant: Nihilism is a point of view in moral and political philosophy.  Nihilists believe that existence has no inherent meaning, purpose, or value.  They believe that individuals should choose their own goals, and that society should be built on the basis of voluntary cooperation, rather than on principles like truth, or justice.  They also believe that whether things are good or bad, right or wrong, depends on individuals or societies, not on some external standard or objective reality.  And they believe that whether something is true or false, or whether something is moral or immoral, depends on whether people believe it, not on whether it’s actually objectively true or false.
