Quote from: SteerpikeNo no, I meant the snippet felt nihilistic, not the whole setting!  Jon's mantra that nothing matters, nothing matters, nothing matters because he has seen some dark "truth" and been fettered by it, that struck me as nihilistic; nihilism strikes me as one (but far from the only) response to Mare Eternus.  The setting in its great context, as I said, reminds me more of Gnosticism and Plato's Cave, the "World of Shadows."
