>> there is no truth - the sufficient and necessary condition for the definition of nihilism...

nihilism isn't about there not being truth, it's about there not being meaning, or more specifically long-term relevance. XXX may be true, but to a nihilist that's OK we're all going to die anyway and the universe will wind down to its heat death. In that sense the truth isn't relevant long term.
