[Purpose and "intrinsic values" are feel-good constructs] What possible purpose could you have for saying that?

I think the horse is dead (just as philosophy). This is not going anywhere.

This is not going anywhere.

I can't reconcile the notion of "there is no purpose" with the constant exhibiting of purpose and desire to go somewhere.

Whether or not we know, or can know, if the universe has a purpose, we obviously do. And we are part of the universe.

At the very least we can say: purpose exists somewhere in the universe.
