Can we construct a theory of meaning and then judge those who fail to meet our standards for meaningful life? Or should we be relativists and accept that meaning in life is completely subjective? For me personally, I think this is again a very good question. And I fall on the side of more or less being a relativist about meaning. What gives my life meaning? How do I attach meaning to it as a personal question can be a very hard one.
Welcome to the March 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
