he’s a nihilist he believes in nothing

Either you have never read any of my posts, which I may prefer, or you do not know what a “nihilist” is.

Protip: The folks who desire a lifestyle of “hookers, Lambos, and blow” are indistinguishable from nihilists. Drug addicts are the worst of applied practical nihilists.

Just in case I have not repeated it sufficiently of late, this is the most passionate possible condemnation of nihilism:

Dear Talking Monkeys:

Please get it through your thick primate skulls that you are alone in the universe, you are all going to die, there is no life beyond this world, and nothing whatsoever will remain of you if you do not safeguard your posterity.

This is war. My enemy: Nothing forever! Never!

Gautama expressed an essentially atheistic philosophy, eerily similar to Schopenhauer’s World as Will. His Nirvana had the same objective as Schopenhauer’s Renunciation. All of the Buddhist religious mysticism was piled on later, after the historical Gautama. Such a thing could conceivably also happen over the course of future centuries to Schopenhauer and his quasi-mystical palingenesis of the Will, which can only be escaped by renouncing all desires and attaining the state of Nirvana, i.e. nonexistence. (Sanskrit nirvāṇa = ‘extinguished’, literally ‘blown out’ in the sense of a candle.)

Obligatory at this juncture:

Quote from: Nietzsche (The Antichrist, Aphorism 42)

For this remains [] the essential difference between the two religions of decadence: Buddhism promises nothing, but actually fulfills; Christianity promises everything, but fulfills nothing.

Parenthetically, I must remark that Gautama and Schopenhauer are correct: Life inevitably has more suffering than joy. People with an inner vitality must fight every day for a few precious joys amidst many sorrows. Decadent people tire of this, and thus seek escape. The desired escape can be rational and realistic as Gautama and Schopenhauer, or an irrational escapist fantasy, such as the Christian heaven or the transhumanist Singularity.
