How can meaning be derived from a materialistic universe?

I don't think we know enough about how the universe really works to say what its meaning is, or if there is any.

What does “meaning” mean? I genuinely don’t know.

>> No.10725162

It can’t. You better hope God exists because otherwise everything you do is pointless, and when your loved ones die you will never see them again.

Meaning is that which gives existence/consciousness/being a purpose, a reason to continue going on that is not fundamentally dependent on the material parts (atoms, energy, and such) that compose it.

>> No.10725276

How can it not be? Or rather, what do you think are the conditions for having/finding meaning?

>Meaning is that which gives existence/consciousness/being a purpose

Purposes don’t exist outside of the imagination. They’re nothing but roles humans make up in our little brains for other things for convenience of thought. Some tyrannical deity making up a “purpose” for anyone or anything is no more profound than a hobo deciding that the purpose of cats is to emit CO2 into the atmosphere.

>a reason to continue going on that is not fundamentally dependent on the material parts (atoms, energy, and such) that compose it.

That “reason” can not exist except as a subjective notion decided upon arbitrarily.

Material has meaning. It’s the fundamental symbol meaning “real.”

>> No.10725362

what has more meaning today

ancient structure like the pyramids etc

vs

The tribe that instead of building big shit hung out at the beach

>> No.10725421

>>10725362
Neither has any “meaning”, but the ones that hung out had way more fun so I’d rather do that.

>> No.10725486

>>10725290
>>10725299
Then, there is no fundamental meaning?

>>10725354
Just because it's real it doesn't mean it's meaningful. You don't give meaning to everything thats real, else you'd go insane

Meaning means the message a symbol conveys. It means intelligent message. It contrasts with random data.

There isn't any real 'thought' involved outside of your brain. The real world 'approximates' that which is inside of your mind. A perfect cube cannot exist in real 3-d space around you, but it can in a mental configuration.
