"If one does not believe in God, the only honest alternative is vulgar utilitarianism.
The rest is rhetoric."
perhaps it's rhetoric but i think an understanding that all meaning is contrived can lead to a non vulgar sort of utiliarianism, making meaning of things that needn't have it, conjuration of a transcendent ethic where it serves us, where it is beautiful. of course, a non contrived Meaning in this nihilist but hopeful framing would be not unlike God.
