To qualify this, you must eat at least 7 pounds of fruit a day for your day to be 'Nietzschean'. However, You must also eat at least one beefsteak.

As a young upper-class man who considers himself an intellectual, I've never read anything about such people that was any good.

Anyone who sincerely believed life was meaningless would have no interest in namedropping philosophers on social media to try and make themselves look smart. Nine times out of ten these people are just snobby atheists or agnostics who want a more trendy label and who buy into just about every other spook besides religion.

No it's not, it's a description in its purer sense. The same way we have the word "nothing". A nihilist doesn't hold nihilism as a belief; they have an absence of belief, it's a negative space that exists through contrast, and as labelers we needed something to call that behavior.

Of course finding someone who isn't a 'dogmatic' nihilist (which would be a contradiction of terms) seems like a difficult task, but the important thing is that it can exist; I imagine it's very Buddhistic.

The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Really fun read. The characters are somehow both relatable and contemptible.

They were too wealthy to be considered upper middle class, imo. Also, who exactly was an intellectual in that? Both Archer and May were absolutely devoid of ideas, and Olenska, well, I guess she's bohemian and all, but she doesn't seem to have much intellectual ambition either.
