Null

A nullist chooses his/her own reality. Faith in whatever a person believes in is by definition irrational. Appreciating this, a nullist chooses which delusions he/she is willing to consider fundamental. Ambivalence is a cherished virtue of Nullism and its adherents may realize this virtue in any way they choose. As a nullist, my views on reality need not have anything to do with your views on reality. What we share is simply that we may never know which view is more accurate and that by following some view of reality is, in itself, distancing oneself from the null point. Is this all bullshit... perhaps. But this bullshit is the very nature that a nullist perceives is at the heart of all ideology, doctrine, and dogma.

Sounds like Quine

I've been told that before and before ever reading anything about Quine. Oddly, though I have yet to write about my interests in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, I am also constantly called out as "merely a reductionist".
