>"My wife gave him some Swiss cheese and rye bread for lunch, which he greatly liked. Thereafter he more or less insisted on eating bread and cheese at all meals, largely ignoring the various dishes that my wife prepared. Wittgenstein declared that it did not much matter to him what he ate, so long as it always remained the same. When a dish that looked especially appetizing was brought to the table, I sometimes exclaimed "Hot Ziggety!" — a slang phrase that I learned as a boy in Kansas. Wittgenstein picked up this expression from me. It was inconceivably droll to hear him exclaim "Hot Ziggety!" when my wife put the bread and cheese before him." -Norman Malcolm, in Ludwig Wittgenstein : A Memoir (1966), p. 85

Why do people treat nihilism like something unideal, to be overcome?

I find the opposite to be far worse. Let's say life does have a 'meaning' or a 'purpose' - all that does is impose lifelong duties upon you. Why would anyone want that sort of pressure?

Unless they're so weak that they can't apply any sort of direction on their lives, and need it to come from without; or, require direction at all.
