Decision makers who value safety will find it advantageous to protect each other and not harm each other, since one would lose very little and gain safety and much more when one cooperates with others. This is a secular basis for ethics.

That's not all too original, just implied. It's been said many times that without God or purpose there is no reason to live.

Authenticity to oneself is the root of happiness and wellbeing, it only strengthens the purpose that one has in life. He who denies his true self to his soul, spirit and body is just trying to live up to the expectations of the false voices inside him. It's because of this that most modern men lives in depression, searching for something that isn't there.

I suppose most have figured it out and it isn't exactly new.

no reason to die prematurely either, since:

1: you're going to die anyway
2: post-death is unknowable, so you don't know whether you'll be better or worse off by offing yourself

therefore unless 1 or 2 changes (immortality becomes feasible or we acquire knowledge of what happens after you die), the rational thing to do is to hang around
