"You’re borrowing from objective truth (free will matters, truth exists, the universe “works” a certain way) while denying objective truth exists."
Creation is predicated upon will. Creation exists. Therefore the Creator desires for Creation to exist. Creation exists because being in a state of omniscience as a singularity is boring. There is no novelty and no discovery. Those experiences only occur in beings with finite, limited perspective who are self-aware.
There are objective truths.
There are objective rules for what makes life meaningful. Every religion has a variation of the Golden Rule.
Do you know why?
Because most humans SUCK at abiding the Golden Rule.
If we were nailing the Golden Rule, every religion wouldn't be trying to teach it to us. That would be redundant.
The "rule" that HODL came up with is wrong. You already agreed that he should have worded the initial post differently, yet you continue to argue moot side points.
Why?

The Golden Rule exists across religions because it’s written on human hearts. The universality proves the objective standard, which is my point.
I didn’t agree HODL was wrong. I clarified two separate arguments.
Either there are objective rules for meaningful life (making HODL’s point correct), or there aren’t (making your Golden Rule appeal meaningless).
