I'm sort of wrestling with a kind of hyper-nihilism based on a rationalist viewpoint, and I think this post helped? What I always run up against is that if this or that argument is true, if there's no self or subjectivity that isn't just atoms and even subjectively felt/perceived/"created" meaning is invalid, now what? How do we live with that information?

I think that one can be "certain enough" at least of those concepts/ideas/experiences that in defining them, or in doubting them, or even in denying them, one cannot avoid to (implicitly) make use of them.
