_Meaningness_, the book, is weirdly bimodal. It clicks for some readers; others find it nonsensical.
I'd like to test a hypothesis from @andy_matuschak: it makes sense to meditators.
Do you meditate? Does it make sense? (Please don't answer unless you've attempted to read.)

I'm guessing meaningness clicks iff you've had meta-experience X, which many people get through meditation but not everybody does, and it can also be acquired elsewise. What is X? A glimpse of fluid mode? Some spark of the reality of nebulosity? Experience of limits of system?
my X was my system / life-plan breaking. I remember being afraid of meaningness' fantasies of control section. because I needed things to work out. rather calming once I did read them. sort of "things will go on happening" "I can't fall out of the universe" feels.
