That’s a very interesting concept.. if there is one master plan then wouldn’t the next conclusion be that no matter what our actions are there is no real free will? How to assign value and weight to our own actions if a master plan is already in place? You’d have to do a leap towards arguing that under the master plan umbrella there is still room in identifying a unifying telos for individuals and society, and live via a set of actions which would pursue that telos with the belief that they would fit in or satisfy the grand purpose of the master unifying plan. Is the true belief that would bring about happiness rather a philosophy which sets as the foundational thought that our actions have real consequences and impact on the world around us, and that there is no true master plan, therefore assigning more weight to the decisions and life we lead? Isn’t this the real reason why we would live a virtuous life, because there is no clear future expect for the one that we as humans and intelligent beings create for ourselves?
