the meaning of life has always and will always be man's search for the Absolute, the unchanging, the transcendent One (aka God).

any authentic "responsibilities" we have revolve around our duties to God. Jordan is sort of on the right track but he doesn't go all the way. And his reluctance to address a certain question is pretty pathetic, but the crowd he keeps makes that difficult.

He was half fucking god, and his mercy rule is only viable to him as he has direct contact with god, while we have to just speculate.

Of course, this is the meaning of words, not "meaning" in the sense Peterson uses it, but similar arguments apply. Significance isn't inherent to any action or state of affairs; it gets ascribed to it by people. Significance (what Peterson calls "meaning") is also socially constructed. It's demonstrably true.

That is one of the big problems. It's not for lack of trying though, this problem was first described in the early 1700s.
