Even if your logic turns out to be correct, that doesn't mean it applies to anything actual.

Since this is a 'logical propostition' you get to assert anything you wish. However, I hardly see either 'Intelligence' or 'Imperative to Create' as 'innate attributes of any and all aspects of life'. Some aspects of life perhaps but hardly 'all'.

Again in a logical assertion you can define terms anyway you wish. Yet I hardly see judgment as related to 'serv[ing] life's creative purpose'

... though anyone may of course refuse to 'own' their own perceptions and judgments and so 'dissociate' themselves from them by, in effect, pretending and/or pretentiously claiming to not be personally 'defining' what's what or 'judging' its utility on the basis of the values which they personally 'regard' or 'feel' to be paramount in any given case ...
Yet more unsupported assertions.

This, even though the fact really is that their (everyones!) subjectivity is really an undeniably integral aspect of absolute 'Reality' (no matter what!).
This in no way follows from the previously given statements. It's mostly speculation and unsupported by previous statements.

So, IMO this totally fails a logical construct (proposition).
Further it doesn't make much sense to me as a classic argument either, as the conclusion does not follow from the earlier assertions.
