ah, so here nihilism is mostly understood as disenchantment with a particular kind of solution to meaning?
I use it to mean the stance that there is no meaning. (Not the only definition, but fairly standard)
That is the way I tend to use the term, too. I don't think there is meaning beyond a mirage built into nonsociopathic brains
mmm… well I don’t agree but I haven’t written up that part of the story so I can’t make a detailed case
I think you may be making the mistake of supposing that meanings have locations, and since they are not in things, must be in brains
no, minds are software; they have no locations in a spatial sense
yes, that’s part of it! But meanings are not in minds either.They are “in” patterns of interaction that cross individuals’ boundaries
these patterns only exist as the projections of individual minds, but yes they relate the individual to (projected) systems
Not sure what you mean by “projection”. They are objectively observable: people stop when the light turns red.
they stop when their neocortices create a dream of red lights infused by relevance generated by their motivational systems
