Re That's simple nihilism.

You seem to be both greatly attracted to and terrified of the word nihilism since you use it a lot. If you can say that gold is air you can surely say that it's not a good investment --- if that is your goal. :)

My language was remarkably simple. I did not use the word nihilism, nor was there anything that implied it.

I said:

1. I suspect all personal premises are eventually determined to be wrong,

We have at least one example from you. Reality turned my ideas upside down after not many years. I had to abandon my false premises which had led me to false conclusions.

The word "eventually" means that the time has not expired on the rest of your premises.

The word "suspect" means I am not giving a proof. What I offer is what you offer --- no proof.

2. including any on reality.

Only you know what your reality is. Indeed, you already confirmed above that what you once mistook for your reality (i.e., Reality turned my ideas upside down) was, you claim, your reality upside down.

Therefore, if you did not know your own reality then, how can you be sure that you know your own reality now?

Perhaps you were awarded a Phd in Reality somewhere in between.

:)
