what is the purpose of life? Is life a coincidence, or was it pre-meditated? We simply don't know, and so we assume objective meaning doesn't exist. Let's assume we're right. Still, the word meaning exists. People have meaning in their lives. You can't say their meaning...
doesn't exist because it directly influences their life choices and therefore has an impact on the happenings of the universe. Well then, meaning is just a human construct, right? Yes! But not 'just'. Meaning is a wonderful and useful concept that probably wouldn't exist...
without us coming into existence and creating it. Meaning is malleable, it can be shared with others and strengthen relationships. Above all it is a tool to a) cope with uncertainty, b) maintain order, and c) facilitate progress. Without us finding meaning in wellbeing...
We wouldn't try to improve the conditions of our own life or others. Without ascribing meaning to improving circumstances and gaining knowledge, we wouldn't improve technology and we wouldn't learn. So not only is it a tool, it is a superpower. It can fundamentally change...
the way we happen upon the world around us. 'Good' meanings in my eyes are ones that promote wellbeing, improve conditions of the worst off, keep life alive, reduce suffering, and do so effectively 'Bad' meanings are those that promote destruction, discrimination, and are...
fundamentally unsustainable. Use your capacity as a meaning-making machine to do good for yourself and for others. And recognise when someone is using their power to do the opposite. Fin.

"Just" is such an amazingly awful word. It makes things seem small, as if creation isn't always a feat to behold.
Couldn't agree more. It's definitely one of my least favourite words
