Is it still nihilism if you ran a proper risk assessment first?

It’s nihilism if you didn’t run a risk assessment at all because you know you’re already pwned.

What if, as a result of a risk assessment, I've learned that I'm already pwned? Nihilism or rationalism?

That’s the rationalism to nihilism pipeline in action.

Sounds like not being nihilistic is irrational.

I would never claim such a thing, because that’s how you go from nihilism to antidepressants.
