I think Hume says it best: a person who completely wraps themselves up in doubt can stand there and not make a single step because no direction seems preferable to any other. Eventually though, something will force that person to make a step. They'll get hungry, thirsty, bored, whatever. Even if you are completely convinced that everything is pointless and meaningless, ultimately life forces you to make some assumptions and act. Obviously you might get bored and kill yourself, but here's to hoping life stays interesting enough to keep you hanging on!
