    So if I’m understanding correctly, since we ourselves care about something, that is what provides it with meaning? Because meaning is entirely subjective? So the fact that we hold something very dear by definition makes it meaningful, regardless if anything or anyone tells us it’s meaningless? And that meaning is what keep ourselves and those who come going cause there’s no universal narrative?

    idk it sounds to me that you’re suggesting that people could just find anything meaningful and it would be equally valid. Very unscientific if you ask me… :P

      From an evolutionary standpoint, sure. As long as the species keeps going, evolution doesn’t care how.

      But from our own desire of self-improvement, some paths are better than others.

        better in what regard? Cause what’s improvement? Cause what’s a ‘good’ desire? You see where this is going, I’m sure.
