Equally true here as well:
“A set of neurological circuits that were configured to conceive truth, and assign “truth” to some objects or concepts.
Not to mention that the values and meanings we hold are a product of environmental factors that ultimately determine what you do or don’t value, what you assign meaning to. Your neurological circuits are just the strings on a puppet, that act in accordance with the environment that pulls them.
Appealing to our neurotical circuits as that which assigns meaning, is like saying the strings of a puppet decide where it should move.
You’re still failing to point out what pulls the strings, what actually assigns meaning and values to things.
