Todd Andrews' Five Conclusions

  • Nothing has any intrinsic value;
  • the reasons for which people attribute value to things are always ultimately irrational;
  • there is, therefore, no ultimate “reason” for valuing anything;
  • living is action and there is no final reason for action;
  • and there is no final reason for living (or for suicide).
John Barth’s The Floating Opera.
