It seems I am a postmodernist who denies reality if I think subjective meaning is worth anything. In fact, I am a perfectly normal human.

-
With a perfectly rational grasp of reality. The reality is that my family & history exist and are important to me but not the universe.
-
Of course, its also very human to wish to be an immortal of significance in some grand scheme. Far less rational to think that makes it true
-
You can't convince me my life is meaningless coz what's important to me is small, local & temporary. I don't require meaning to be otherwise
-
But you feel free to try to tie your meaning to eternity & everything. Meanwhile, there are ppl you could love & a world you cld explore.

Its religion. It makes ppl devalue what actually exists & is meaningful to humans. Other ideologies can do this too, of course.

Ppl have killed and died in defense of their families. The concept is anything but meaningless.

The vanity of believing your life matters to the universe. The only meaning is that we give it. Ppl should get over themselves.

Whoever thinks that is an idiot. If something has no meaning to you, it probably has no meaning to anyone.
