An atheists guide to reality

[max-greece]

For the duration of the game there is much to be enjoyed, to gain satisfaction from aside from the result.

Eat, drink, man, woman...get what you can while you can? Sure, why not?

We instinctively value life and we overlay on this our meaning which is expressed within the culture into which we are born...as far as I can see, this fundament[al] provides the floor to your infinite regress of significance. Meaning is allocated by us because we are alive.

So you say the value chain terminates at the conditioned reflexes people have because of a change outcome within an indifferent universe.

I wish I could say yes or no to that but I'm not sure I understood it.

In essence what I am saying is that once life formed (however that happened) then it developed a sense of value instantly - in that it instantly strove to survive and therefore valued existence higher than non-existence or death.

As life got more complex so did the understanding, and need, for value.

I'm not sure indifference is the right word for the inanimate universe as indifference implies that it could care. The universe can no more "care" than can a door.
