Check this passage out from
his post on Troy Davis:
the frightful thing about nihilism is not its much-maligned romance with nothing, but rather it is nihilism's focus on the surface---the frozen frames of film which produce only the illusion of continuous motion---the reduction to appearance---as all there is that should worry us. Nihilism's true folly is an obsession with stasis. Allowing neither acts of nor possibilities for creativity, as dialectical opposition par excellence, nihilism is violence enthroned in a frigid wasteland.
Hey, The Lichenthrope loves you too, man!

Repelling being, it struggles to find rest in the Good which transcends all being, in the sense of a denial of all things" (Dionysius, Divine Names)
