Erm... "do not"? I think/hope you may have made a crafty typo error here...
one of the things that butresses my non-freewill and atheist beliefs is that
there is no reason why reality should give a shit about me; so, any theory
that explains a lot of things probably doesn't set me very high in its list
of priorities. So, no Truth: what I believe is just memes in charge of
neural resource. So, no Bad: what I think is "bad", is just what I don't like.
There is no such thing as anything.
