Meaning is attributed not intrinsic.
We die and are forgotten.
Death of a valued individual requires the survivor(s) to accommodate the change internally and externally.
Whatever you do or feel, they have gone.
There is no point.
Have a nice day.

It's more about the pretensions to rationality of the video, and with quite a few people I've encountered who seem to think their atheism conveys some sort of intellectual gravitas on themselves. Putting deism to one side, I commonly find they still seem to accept a lot of other nebulous concepts with likewise little evidence to commend them other than it would be comforting if they were true

Also in the video they suggest we should find solace in the thought that our atoms are going to end up in trees, birds and butterflies. But our atoms might end up posthumously in the haemorrhoids of some fat cunt.

I think his credibility is in tatters, given that he was previously telling us that things can only get better. Which is it, Cox? Make up your bloody mind
