me: nihilism is totally dated and flawed as a concept it doesnt allow for any visions of the future
  and thats what artists do create visions of the future
 
mira: totally, but its not like I want to run around shooting people, its more like I break down all infomation or objects into their compoants, so I don&#8217;t/try not to get stressed by people or the universe.
