Phenomenological Nihilism has mereological agency in the honest or practical.
As process it is congenitally catabolic in every organism which interacts in an organizational unit with its obverse process of growth or anabolism.
For higher organisms the same interplay extends to an existential proportion, where it garners its most divided and undivided attention.
The infliction of existential Nihilism as aforesaid can be afforded as the conditional substrate for an impetus toward its counter - of which I am able to only abstractly describe as a held belief in the drive to "self-preservation" - which denotes an acceptance of it, or neither a denial or passive suppression nor deceitful distortion of it.
A quandary develops when a skepticism diffuses into a cynicism by the overbearance of a nihilistic drive, and likewise when a preservation skews into a denialism by the encroachment of an optimistic or pessimistic drive.
At length, what is problematic as potentiation with cynicism and optimism/pessimism: it accords a dishonest or costly prejudiced, close-ended, truncated account of World, which in turn can be extrapolated to indicate a schism which divide remains either static or is continued with subdivisions in one direction while without bridging the parts back with the context or whole in the other direction.
