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 …
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.
-
Ha! But it doesn't objectively give my life meaning. I take it as my primary purpose which is subjective.
-
But not going to argue abt semantics.We agree my meaning is provided by prioritising things that actually exist?
