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.

If that were true, how could you explain people who don't feel they have meaningful lives?

Not sure what you're asking. Does the existence of people who don't feel they have meaningful lives mean no-1 does?

Or does the existence of these people mean the things others find meaningful don't exist? What is it you think we disagree on?

Do we agree that different people find different things important & meaningful? I care abt 14th century history. You might not.

We prob agree that the 14th century existed & the history of it can be studied. But might not agree on whether its interesting

It's starting to feel as though you want to disagree with me but are not sure what about. I'm not making any radical claim.
