What's with the "potato mashers" he's constantly alluding to?
-
Potato mashers undeniably have a purpose: mashing potatoes. So if you want to claim everything is meaningless/useless, that’s a problem.

He’s a “philosophical pessimist,” meaning he thinks everything is awful. Similar emotional dynamics, although logically opposite.

Could a self-proclamed nihilist indulge in awfulness without breaking the rules of The Nihilist Police?
-
Unfortunately the Nihilist Police are usually too depressed to do their job, and so are almost completely ineffective.
