You know, I've never liked that particular phrasing for that concept, because it implies that meaning is a product of human artifice, of conscious human construction, subject to the human will. Which I don't think would be a satisfactory account of meaning.

I’m an atheist and to me it’s the only kind of meaning that matters.

i agree with the broad strokes of the idea, and am quibbling about the details

I'm not an atheist, but that's the meaning that matters to me the most. That's why we got free will. Otherwise we all would just be Gods puppets and have no meaning at all.

Maybe “meaning” is like “free will.” It doesn’t have an intelligible definition, but conveys a positive emotional connotation when said aloud.

NAYRT

This is a good point.

Maybe. I don't think so personally, but it's possible.

(Anonymous) 2018-01-11 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
It's not necessarily conscious human construction at all but a huge agglomeration of everything that people (and plant and animals and natural processes) do.

sure. I'd talk about processes of cognition as well, but fair enough.
