Coming straight after the question about zero, I answered "cero" for the Spanish translation question, but it wouldn't give me the point! :(

"Creed that believes in nothing"

How to say in five words you have no idea what nihilism really is.

Still not accepting as of today. I tried "Sarte" and no dice. Not complaining, just noting that "nobodyinparticular" isn't out in left-field on this one (or we both are out there together, I suppose).

In "Singer who performed the1990 song "Nothing Compares 2 U"", there needs to be a space between "the" and "1990".

As per usual... very wrong definition given for nihilism. That, agnosticism, and the genre classification of Star Wars are among this website's favorite things to repeatedly get wrong.

Out of curiosity, how is the genre of Star Wars usually classified on Jetpunk and what do you think it is instead?

Level 72

I'm guessing it is classified as science fiction. Back in the 70s when it came out I always argued that it was not sci-fi but adventure like the Errol Flynn swashbuckler movies. Just because it is set in space didn't make it sci-fi.

Some might say that’s the wrong definition of nihilism. However, language is an artificial construct in our brains based simply on the way our brains deconstructs electrical impulses. We would have to determine a single grounding truth about knowledge before we can debate the definition.

Can you accept alternate spellings of Nihilism?

Not that it matters.

Is the question about basketball written that way on purpose? i.e. "swaying" If so then i don't get it.
