Understandable, and yet, you did not read. The page I linked says, openly, > Dropping religious beliefs is only a first step towards freeing ourselves from eternalism. And continues to explain how your beliefs, about how there are definite meanings and purposes to life, are illusions. The next page [0] states it clearly too: > We cling to the idea that there must be a cosmic plan because we fear that without one everything would be meaningless. But this is mistaken; which means that most ideas about meaningfulness and meaninglessness are mistaken. Fortunately, life is meaningful without any cosmic plan or ultimate source of meaning. If you like arete, you could also stand to read Pirsig. He was very concerned with ethics and values. Finally, to directly critique your metaphysics, please first consider this phrase you wrote: > Everything matters, because we feel everything, and thus it matters to us. And then consider Russell's teapot [1]. Does Russell's teapot matter, floating out there around the rings of Saturn? Can we feel it? A bit of consideration will show that, while everything is connected to everything, not everything affects everything else equally. We are, in fact, far more sensitive to things which are close to us.
