This would be a reasonable point if we were talking abt the meaning of words rather than the difference purposes ppl give their lives.https://twitter.com/EveKeneinan/status/820331421881536513 …

"People give different meanings to their lives' is not really countered by 'A consensus on the meaning of words exists'

"Reality isn't a product of your mind"
-
Sorry? How does this relate? Of course reality is not a product of the mind. Meaning is tho.
-
eg my daughter is real. She means a lot to me. I have purpose & meaning as 'mother'. She means nothing to you.
-
That's because she's not my daughter, and I'm not her mother. Not because of anything you invented or imagined.
-
Exactly. I'm not claiming to gain meaning from anything I've invented or imagined.
-
I'm claiming, I'd have thought unexceptionably, that what gives my life meaning is subjective & that's normal.
-
But your example was of motherhood, which is not a subjective thing. You are objectively a mother.

Are you new to time vampire
@EveKeneinan?

No, I just like to feed her occasionally. I can stop any time! I can!

Has she quoted weird, irrelevant phrases in ancient Greek yet? That's when you know you've made progress...

Eve rushes ahead to parody yourself, because your claim is ambiguous between different claims some quite false.
