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.
It's easy. We grant provisional reality to abstracts like numbers and the principles of logic. Even in a physicalist universe we accept that some things that might be real aren't physical.
Kinda sounds like trying have your cake and eat it too.
