The following is a short description of Objectivism given by Ayn Rand in 1962:
At a sales conference at Random House, preceding the publication of Atlas Shrugged, one of the book salesmen asked me whether I could present the essence of my philosophy while standing on one foot. I did as follows:
Metaphysics: Objective Reality
Epistemology: Reason
Ethics: Self-interest
Politics: Capitalism

Evolution proves that their has to be an outside will to live. It doesn't follow try and error, so there has to be something inside all of us that communicates with our surroundings on a non feel-able level.
As just being an interpreted electrical energy signature that could be explained by us, our synapses, receiving and interpreting outside signals (on a quantum level) swell that don't get interpreted on a conscious level.
I see this for example, why you can sometimes make out that someones is staring at you without looking at them - en.wikipedia.org
Which leads me to this conclusion: Basically you, your consciousness, are not life, you are just its fail system. The tripping urge to survival.

Okay so from a sort of Existentialist basis that the only worthwhile human meaning is self-constructed and that human perception is the true human experience:
I believe that the distorted ways we each see the world is a fiction, but that fiction can still be True or False within the canon of a fictional universe.
That is to say, if I were to say that Harry Potter died in the 4th book, it would be canonically wrong. This would still be a fiction, but it isnalso a fact that can be justifiably rejected as false. So, basically I argue that we can in fact judge our lives and meaning according to our own internal perceptions and worldviews as long as they are consistent with our Fiction, and that although meaning can change from one person's Fiction to another, or even as your Fiction changes over time, there are still elements we can appreciate from other people's Fictions and still criticism we can have against others' Fiction, since it can be contradicting basic Canon they should understand.

Know the difference between what you're seeing, and what people tell you your seeing.
The rest kinda takes care of itself.

God exists, and he is the ultimate evil. Praise Satan !
Fun fact: god is a pedophile too. That's why he likes to give pedos a nice life and as the last resort, a free escape to heaven, where god rapes goats and fishes and dead children. We need to worship Satan to help him defeat this great evil.
