“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.

The rhetorical equivalent of Random chemical reaction further up the strings cause them to appear to go into tension or loosen, which you then childishly interpret as purposed pulling of the strings by some intelligent being with a goal, just to satisfy your infantile longing to pretend there is some all powerful sky daddy for you to fall back on.
