Where did I say that I had any beef with philosophy? Philosophers, now that's a whole nother story.
It also appears that you are making a very ssignifcant extension of the term "nihilism", which M-W tells me is:
1 a : a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless b : a doctrine that denies any objective ground of truth and especially of moral truths
That definition is, as I read it, a long way from the use to which you put the word nihilism. Especially since most schools of philosophy could be lumped in under the second option above. I like questions, a lot. What distinguishes me from most philosophers, however, is that I am not repelled by, nor afraid of, the idea that some questions may actually have answers. Nor am I consumed by a need to pontificate simply for pontification's sake. Think Bart's beautiful response to "what is the sound of one hand clapping?" - now that was a Zen moment!
