      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.

      Wrong. Motherhood is objectively meaningful to humans. That's why it's sacred in every religion.

      You are still missing the point. Everything that is meaningful to me is meaningful to other humans. But not all.

      Eve was arguing that giving ourselves meaning is fake in comparison to some ultimate meaning of the universe.

      Universe doesn't care if one species of ape procreates. It has no brain. It has no meaning. That species cares.

          That I choose my life to be about motherhood, history, dogs,literature whilst someone else chooses none of those...

          ...is all that was meant by deciding our own lives meaning. You agree that these are meaningful? You agree w me.
