You have no logical grounds for your first sentence. As a result everything else collapses. Meaning is whatever a person defines to have value to them in a material world. They enjoy rape, the it provides meaning. You can't tell them they're wrong because it hurts others abstractly, and can't concretely if that's part of what makes it so meaningful to them.
There is nothing stopping someone from being a great white shark aside from the threat of violence from the group. If someone can figure out how get around that, like with home made genetic manipulation for viruses, well, they get to have their own meaning spread across the world.
- nibs 10y agoThe grounds are scientific, not logical: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1207%2Fs15327558ijbm1202_4 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1207%2Fs15327558ijbm1202... What you are describing is the broader context of innate drive for something. Meaning is a feeling you get from satisfying certain (not all) drives.
- virmundi 10y agoBut you're presuming that mostly suicidal is an nonfunctional mode. If a person has been depressed for 15 years, held loaded weapons to their head while they cried, and have a good way to kill themselves, it's good to be good doesn't matter. If that person doesn't care about longevity, but hopes for a fast death soon, meh. There is no meaning. Especially when you have only one drive, a fast death.
