These are the dominoes that fall, unless you can see an exception:
There is apparently a choice between purpose and free will, if purpose must be determined. So either purpose or free will must fall.
Purpose or Free Will -->
When purpose or free will falls, we do not have both purpose and free will, so ethics falls.
Ethics -->
When ethics falls, larger purpose fails.
Purpose -->
When larger purpose fails, self-determination no longer makes sense.
Self-Determinism -->
When self-determination does not make sense, definitive agency is gone.
Definitive Agency -->
When definitive agency is gone, knowledge no longer makes sense.
Knowledge -->
When knowledge no longer makes sense, absolute knowledge is impossible.
Absolute Knowledge -->
When absolute knowledge is not possible for anyone, practical knowledge is unworkable.
Practical Knowledge -->
When practical knowledge is unworkable, the only type of perception left is a glorified perception, a perception devoted to happenstantial pleasure which could be gone at any minute.
Un-Glorified Perception -->
When only glorified perception is left, rationality must also leave.
Rationality -->
When rationality is gone, reason is certainly gone.
Reason -->
When reason is gone, logic is gone.
Logic -->
When logic is gone, mathematics dies.
Mathematics -->
When mathematics cannot be trusted, nothing can be trusted.
Trustworthiness -->
When trustworthiness is gone, the world as we know it is gone.
The World as we Know it -->
When the world is gone, we cannot even be radical.
Radicalism -->
When we cannot be radical, we do not have values in a rational sense.
Values
However, madness remains. Thus, even reason must be a form of madness. This leads to a conclusion that madness is universal and ignorance is contrived.
This procedure has been partly modified from a conversation with Justin Grey.
