I agree with Kayenneh: life is objectively meaningless, and objective morality doesn't exist, but kindness and altruism have helped us survive, so they seem like good ideas.

Everything is meaningless, that means any action is no better or worse (objectively speaking) than any other action. All moral codes are socially constructed. On this scenario, you can choose anything you want, as no action is no more meaningful than another. I choose kindness Smile
