Disagreeing with ppl works best @EveKeneinan if you address what they are saying rather than what they are not.

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

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.

Ergo, you are claiming to get meaning from real things. Which are not subjective.

We do & they vary. For me, motherhood, history, dogs, literature are important. For someone else, something else.

What's subjective is what we find important & meaningful. The existence of those things is objective.

Well, not for everyone. Some ppl devote Iives to things that may not exist. All my things are objectively real.
