What kind of people are here?

Well...yeah. Nihilism is the perception of a specific aspect of reality. Something that doesn't require any specific belief system to recognize.

Everybody can't be "right". Period. Some believe they're right, some believe Joe Blow is right, some believe nobody's right and some believe that even if somebody is right, there's no way of knowing who.

Some who believe they're right hate not being believed by others, some who want others to live as they think they should hate that they can't force, bribe, coerce or trick them into it, some fear the unknown, some are curiously timid about it and some relish the exploration of it.

The idea of nihilism is a bit of a shock in a society that trains its people, from the cradle to the grave, that "knowledge" is king and then, all of a sudden, BOOM! They're surrounded by the unknown - thinking WTF?!?!?

Some don't believe it, some resent it, some fear it, some explore it and some just enjoy it.
