I'm sorry. I'm confused as to the assumptions you seem to be going by. How the heck does that even refute my position to begin with?

Life is pointless. The universe is pointless. Existence is pointless. However, why should that stop me from living life as it is? Like I said, humans like to pretend otherwise to justify their existence in the face of such a nihilistic world view. I'm no different. I like to pretend that my decisions are my own, and that there are beautiful things in this world, and eventually that pretense evolves into a reality of its own within my subjective world.

If you can't grasp my perspective at this point, then I'm not sure if we should be arguing this in the first place.
