You are a professor of what, exactly?
I don't think what you are good at can ever be worthy of even the most flippant accreditation.
This is wooters. His life does indeed have that one ultimate transcendent purpose and meaning: to serve as proof that a maximum of smarminess is compatible with not having even a minimum of cognition.

You espouse a a materialist view that intentionally denies that physical systems seek desired ends. Then you engage in special pleading that a certain type of physical process, human brain function, can do so.
My statement about proximate vs ultimate meaning stands unrefuted. I made no claim about the relative value of one to the other.
So first you tell me what I think, and then you invent a problem for that thing you've told me that I think, and then you scoff at me for not solving a problem I don't know exists, in a position that I don't necessarily hold, foisted upon me by a person I've never met.
Yep, that sounds like an entirely rational justification for your claims.
