I'm going to attempt to understand this. Tell me where I'm wrong.

No idea what A or B theory means, but relativity kind of blows a hole in simultaneity, so I assume that B theory has other implications like determinism or something. Something about relationships defining everything.

Chairs only exist in our brains I guess. Brains also invented themselves. Spooky

Plato is silly?

This might have some implications about there not being underlying rules to reality, or that we can never really get anything more than a shadow of them.

Not sure about this one. It might be more epistemological than metaphysical.

The creation and end of existence aren't as important as the rules and the observable state of things?

I could google these things, but I had fun doing it this way.

Solid! I'm going to put together a broader and more detailed comment that should clarify some things, but if you're a newbie to philosophy, you did a pretty darn good job.
