A lot of interesting points! But I think the concept that resonated with me was perception... I don't think we'd even be able to perceive something as "not mattering" unless we knew of something that mattered more.

Just like we couldn't perceive an enclosure as "dark" unless we were aware of the existence of light, and could perceive the darkness as an absence of light. It's relative, but implies that things do, in fact, matter.

As for the matter of inherent value, how can we possibly be an expert resource on assigning absolute value to things that, for all we know, exist according to the unexplored and unexplained phenomena of the entire universe, when we can't even perceive anything beyond 4 dimensions?

Ahaha bad pun / already used but couldn't help it! XD
