If physicalism true, then God, freewill, objective morality, and objective meaning inevitably evaporate, and absurdity inevitably follows. At least, that's how it seems to me. Scepticism likewise seems to follow.
you live, presumably because you are driven to avoid death and discomfort. that is sufficient basis upon which to build all meaning. all meaning, however baroque, ultimately rests on these foundations.
