Thank you for your responses, but I guess my question wasn't clear. I was asking about purpose. If there's no point in going to Dallas, why care about wanting to go to Dallas?
This is my problem if there's no objective value (that I tried to address more directly here). If there's no value to anything I might want, why care about what I want, much less strive for what I want?
I don't know if there's anything to be done. Whining about it is pointless. If anyone has a constructive direction, please let me know. I picked up a Sartre's , "Truth and Existence" rather randomly, maybe it will lead in a different (hopefully more interesting) direction.
There is objective value, you know. It is an objective fact about reality that you care about and value some things and people, as do all other minds.
The point of going to Dallas is a function of your values, not the other way around.
I'm not sure this question will make sense, but do you place any value on that objective value?
