Even if "value" is itself illogical?

>As in, “Who am I if I’m suspended in a vacuum free of the bounds of history, evolution, time and space?”
That would be a trick question. I am who I am unlike my "parallell universe twin" that had coffee this morning instead of cereal but looks identical in every other way, he is who he is, he has his identity and I have mine. He exists in a universe that had a slightly different beginning (Big Bang or whatever) and will have a different end (Butterfly Effect) and I exist in this one. This universe is this universe (past, present, future) and that universe is that universe (past, present, future) and if you took me and my twin out of those universes before we had breakfast this morning we would still be who we were, we just would be unable to tell the difference as we were not born with birthmarks, mine saying "Made by Big Bang A"´, his "Made by Big Bang B".

Other person: You should watch this movie, I think you'd enjoy it.
My thoughts: ("Should" is a myth, the universe does not revolve around us organisms, we humans are just egomaniacs, even if the Judeo-Christian God existed He could not logically make Himself "should" say "Let there be light!" or make the light "should" exist at any point in time)
My words: Okay, I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion!

Also, I did say "you might change your mind". 😁

I don't think the Snap affected much non-sapient animals and plants. When The Blip happens there's no mention of (what used to be) 50% of the animals and plants reappearing all over Earth.

>When you consider how important the meaning of words and the limits of languages are
"Importance" is a myth, it exists nowhere but in our imagination.
​
"In order for philosophy to propagate fully it’s authors intent there must be a semantic agreement with the audience."
There is nothing there "must" be as "imperatives" are another myth. Even if there being a semantic agreement is/were... essential for philosophy to propagate this would not make "imperatives" a non-myth.

"It is like an engine that takes you to where the journey should begin..."
"Should" is a myth, it never exists outside our imagination. Hume didn't think far enough. There is no "ought". The universe has no preferences.

"Value" and "importance" are myths, they never exist outside our imagination.

>No one can remove themselves from the context of who they are in any moment (culture, personal lived experiences, language, beliefs, scientific views of the era, etc. etc.).
A few conversations with me and you might change your mind about that.

Nothing can ever be "justified" since "justification" is a myth. We can't even "justify" inhaling the atmosphere, we just do it.

False, nothing is ever "needed" since "need/necessity" is a myth. The drowning man does not "need" to avoid becoming a drowned corpse anymore than the drowned corpse "needs" to avoid becoming a drowning man... or becoming a time traveling unicorn with cybernetic wings.
