@Meaningness Right. My move is towards more orthodox theologies, which emphasize the significance of individual, embodied life.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Meaningness I think all of this is symptomatic of the fact that God doesn't actually anchor meaning in the traditional way.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@micahtredding Yes… my work suggests that we *do* have meaning, and it’s not objectively anchored, and that’s not a problem…2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
