Is “folklore mindset” nihilist if you believe that stories are valuable, but are still trying to figure out what stories are for?

it’s a term I got from a very old dead tree book that stuck in my head idk it makes sense to me

You may want to read this post "the world as if" by my friend sarah. This is "living in the world as if this story told as true" which sounds like the opposite of nihilistic https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2017/09/07/the-world-as-if/ …

Is that in reference to participating in "told for true" stories themselves, or to taking an ethnomethodologically emic stance toward said "told for true" items. The former seems non-nihilistic. The latter maybe non-nihilistic at a meta-level, and mostly pragmatic at story level

I could answer that better if I felt like it was an available option to not participate in them!
