From the Editor

If you are reading this, then you have squandered your money on the premiere issue of The Nihilist, a foolish purchase that will not make your life any more meaningful. The Nihilist is, at last, a magazine for today's bitter cynic. We will endeavor each month to present the issues of the day that don't matter, and explain why you shouldn't care about them. We'll also feature the voices of the most prominent nihilists from around the world--this month's issue features a guest editorial by Gregory Fulham, one of America's foremost experts in the field of dropping out of grad school, explaining why guest editiorials are pointless and we'd be better off just printing a blank page. (You can find it on page 76, which was deliberately left blank.) At The Nihilist, we have one overriding goal: for our readers to fully understand, by the time they finish an issue, that they are several hours closer to death than when they began.

  One of the world's foremost experts on dropping out of grad school? I'd like to meet this man, as I have many friends who would compete for that title.
