to take that away from us like we have to live with it i think as someone who's never embraced christianity i have no idea what that's like what a gift that is to do something bad and be forgiven by god from it and so it's like a great life hack can i push back on this idea that the world's meaningless though yeah this cold and meaningless and uncaring well

I think that's exactly right. But it's a different kind of meaning to the one which the world ultimately lacks. So call one meaning with an uppercase M, like meaning with a capital M. The ultimate meaning.

Like if God exists for the Abrahamic believer, they believe that there's ultimate meaning, a plan which has been set out before they began to exist and will be completed throughout their lives and to the end of their life. What we're talking about or you're describing there is what you might call like not the meaning, but like a meaning within life. And there's a problem here.

Yeah, but it depends. Again, when you strip away all of these Judeo-Christian principles, we're left trying to find worthwhile meanings to non-worthwhile ones. So let's say you said the meaning of your life, Joe, was like counting blades of grass on your front garden, right? And I said my meaning was like being a doctor and helping people.

Yeah, but imagine you thought that, right? Imagine you said the meaning of your life was counting blades of grass. And I said mine was helping people with medical care. I have the more meaningful life. But if what you're saying is true, if it's like there's no ultimate meaning and all meanings are just created by the person, like we all color in the void with the thing that we think is purposeful.

We need some kind of way of differentiating between worthwhile meanings and things that are less worthwhile. Yeah. And so there's a problem there. I think we can solve that problem, which is, although the world doesn't have an ultimate meaning, we can see that there are moral values in the world that correspond to happiness and suffering, right?

The reason mine's more meaningful is because I'm doing something that's morally right and you're doing something which... I'm not willing to concede that it doesn't have meaning.
