The problem with nihilism is the same as with Berkeley's idealism: reality shock.
Once I get hungry or sick I'll beg for Mom, forgetting all nihilistic principles.

Nihilism does not exist. Negating every value ends with negating life. You cannot negate life.

I wouldn't tar it with the same brush as idealism...
Problem is that it's a big presumption on our part to assume that it's any less logical than the existance of an objective reality which does exist independant of subjective observation -> (Something which we only ever presume emerges from objective matter because of the dominance of this neo-platonism in current western "rationality"... In actual fact, the only thing we can ever know directly is our own awareness - Everything else is only known to us as a mental construct, and could only have any sort of objective existance if consciousness was innately connected to, or one with, matter in some way - So why do we choose to paint ourselves out of existance and then presume it's "rational" to do so?)
If there is an objective reality it's just quantum foam... Not meaning to sound nihilistic - This same substance unfolds space, energy, matter, consciousness, art, music, etc... If there wasn't meaning we shouldn't be able to debate this topic.

You're right in strictly objective terms - Because we can't see or quantify thought or consciousness objectively...
Then again, because our own personal existance is purely defined by our awareness(/thoughts), we can't prove that anything exists outside of subjectivity either...
So what's the weaker arguement???
The great renaissance philosopher Tommaso Campanella sums this up: "the only trustworthy datum of experience is the feeling of one's own existance, a feeling that withstands any rational doubt."
"I" think therefore "I" am, defines "I" in terms of what the universe knows about itself - The only parts of "I" which have personal identity are the parts that fall under the window of consciousness (/thought)...
Behaviours and brain function, or dysfunction, outside of conscious control or awareness are as much detached from "I" an I am from a random Israeli taxi driver on the other side of the world...
So it stops us dealing with personal existance in strictly biologica/material terms... Afterall, every atom in your body is in constant exchange with the cosmos... In 7 years time, not a single part of the physical "you" will be there - It'll all be replaced... And if we were to put a limit on the rate of replacement, we know we'd be imposing bizarre subjective rules on personal existance...
Identity can only be defined through reference points consciousness has about itself... If you were to download your memory into someone else at your point of death, there's no test, subjective or objective, to say that it's not you jumping bodies...
Only our own subjective labelling system would argue with that point - But what logic or reason would it have to back that up???

This need for meaning, it's just the underpinning of theology, deism(, and completely unfounded). Or maybe deism, theology is more correct.
