The Great Bang Big God

It's like this: the Big Bang created everything. Everything consists of matter and of that which is not matter nothing consists. Reflective consciousness--knowing about knowing--is an illusion. As are truth, beauty, art, ethics, rights, justice, free will, and the infield fly rule. Man's quest for transcendence is sound and fury, signifying nothing. Well, maybe it signifies NATO, but that's worse than nothing.

There is no immaterial individuating principle. Everything we think, say, or do is the product of chemical reactions, which is to say, ultimately, physics.

I punch you in the nose? You can't hold me responsible. The Great Bang Big God did it.
