which one is it? If one can be "wrong" about meaning, then it's not a feeling, it's objective—Yet meaning is highly subjective.

You can be wrong about feelings when they're a response to objective reality. "I'm mad at you for X." "I didn't do X!" "Oh sorry"

sure, but you will experience the feeling regardless, until you change your mind, so it makes no difference.

if meaning is a feeling (which I think it is), the question of right/wrong doesn't matter, only the existence or lack of it

Would you choose to live in the experience machine?

I wouldn't. But somehow I think I'm wrong in not wanting to, ie: I would have a better life if I did.

I wonder this myself. Do you have kids or other dependents? I think that matters a ton.

I don't—but I agree, although doesn't that have more to do with responsibility than meaning?

Right. Perhaps meaning cannot be substituted with any other meaning (provided by machine), while pleasure can.

Subjectively speaking, yes, that's how "meaning" feels to us (I think): not something that's valid when it's just in one's mind.
