A problem that's intrinsic to every alternative is not an argument against any one system. What system can recognize unknown forms of ignorance? What system can recognize unrecognized conflict? This is silly.

human nature is the source of all meaning in the universe excising it, to better conform to your conception of good, is paradoxically nihilistic and authoritarian you are a person, these fundamental problems are intrinsic to people
This is not tightly reasoned. First assertion wrong, second assertion pointless (almost everything is "nihilistic" from some vantage point, authorianism is a bullet I'm willing to bite in this context), last assertion depends on a circular definition of personhood.

try to unpack that so i can see your reasoning

1. Everyone accuses anything reductionist of being nihilistic. But reductionism is a matter of degrees. Believing in one less "thing" than someone else doesn't make you a full blown nihilist any more than believing in one less god than someone else makes you an atheist.

risking straw-manning you: the first point is only contingently wrong; *evolution* is a kind of meaning, of which our meaning is an abstract superset [0/2]
-
the second point: i don't care about perspectivism, meaning is an objective thing in the universe (as abstractions are Real) if meaning is important and good (axiomatically), then having more, not less, is important and good [1/2]
