How do I deal with the fact that the Munchhausen trilemma exists and all philosophy is bullshit and all humanities / art / politics is narcissistic posturing?
Everything is such BS on a big pile of BS on a mountain of BS, it's all so hard to take. Everything boils down to BS or trivialities.

Saying all philosophy is bull shit is a philosophical idea.
i.e. You're retarded
why are you posting this again.
Axiomatic (possibly circular) consistent frameworks are completely okay - and truth is secondary to me in general. I say this as a theoretical physicist.
What you may want to ask is the use of things. E.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performative_utterance
discusses a notion of action - things have value while you do them and if it makes your live better, why bother whether there are absolutes which can be known?

Why do some galaxies and planets spin in opposite direction relative to the norm?
Some kind of ramshackle coherentism built out of your favourite gay flavours of epistemology, with occasional dashes of mystical foundationalism that basically amounts to "i bet theres some kind of cosmic plan desu reality is too cool to be a big nothin" is usually sufficient to ground more wiggling which results in better coherentism, except in rare moments when Carneades appears and really fucks your face and punches the wind out of you, but then you just wait like a day and order a pizza and it mysteriously vanishes again. It's really hard to summon Carneadeas back after he finishes in your mouth. He just leaves for like another three months, and you can get back to work hammering out ontologies that justify caring about studying snails or whatever the fuck it is you do.
The real kicker is that the better humans get at meta-coherentism, the harsher Carneades' cum tastes in those moments when he does show up. The bigger the house of cards, the worst it feels when it temporarily implodes. But it will still always go all Prince of Persia Sands of Time and fix itself by morning.
