What does the A.N.U.S. “nihilism symbol” represent?
A tree, in rune form, because trees are the ultimate nihilists. They recognize reality and their powerlessness in it. They see no point in bloviation, neurosis, dualistic religion or morality. They simply grow toward the sunlight and do the best they can. When death comes, they accept it. For all we know, they are more intelligent than us. They are spiritually perfect beings that recycle carbon dioxide into oxygen, enrich the soil, provide food and shelter to many species, and basically keep giving and ask nothing in return. Do we worship trees? At A.N.U.S. yes, yes we do.
