While you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking, “That’s ridiculous. Of course murder is wrong.” but who told you to believe that? Just the society you live in. Animals don’t generally murder others of their own species because it’s counterproductive, not because their “morals” tell them not to.

True, some “morals” help us to create a better world, but who are we to determine what is “right” and what is “wrong”? Who are you to tell me what I believe is wrong when both your morals and mine are simply personal preferences? You think murder is wrong because society told you, I think the solution to Earth’s problems is the mass extinction of humanity because I can’t see any other way. What makes my views wrong and yours right? Nothing. 

Nihilism is above the petty squabbles of “who’s right and who’s wrong?” because nihilists have acknowledged the fact that morals are simply personal views, while the rest of society insists that their morals are the correct ones to have and that everyone else is wrong.
