Comment on The Meaning of Lifeparent

Comments

I see little point in trying to ascertain the "meaning" of life. From what I see, life itself gives birth to the concept of meaning not the other way around.

Did you actually listen to the talk? He comes to the same conclusion.

I read the transcript.

I don't think you understand what I am saying. We don't come to the same conclusions. I'm saying the concept of "meaning".... not the "meaning of life" is something derived from the property of life itself. Therefore using this concept to ask a question in a larger context probably isn't valid.

From the article:

Nothing has inherent meaning. Everything is only what it is and that's it.

I think you come to the same conclusion but perhaps express it a little deeper than the author does.
