The Importance of Everyday Meaning

Tamar Jacoby: If you were given the opportunity to trade some everyday meaning for some ultimate meaning, how much would you be willing to do? She says David Benatar thinks that there's at least two types of meaning and he places priority on one of them. Jacoby: I find cosmic meaning mostly unimportant. It adds very little value to my life either way. What I care about is whether I have human meaning, everyday meaning, ultimate meaning.
