If as Nihilism posits; that there is no meaning to life, and no objective truth, then all experience can be deemed as equally valuable.

Rofl, that's a good point!
If you think about it realistically, the experience of mowing the lawn doesn't seem nearly as valuable as the experience of love.
But you know nihilists . . .

but I would wager they get more nihilistic about love, than they do about gardening. Using nihilism against meniality is like using a hammer to crack an egg, nihilists prefer the role of underdog.

Ultimately true imo. We being selfish humans however tend to subjectively place value where it will do us the most benefit.

Equally valuable in some abstract sense maybe, but not equally pleasurable, as observed subjectively.
