It's interesting to consider another question: what kind of rational "meaning" we would be ready to accept as an explanation? For example: somebody tells you that we were created by a higher being, or civilization, to serve some rational purpose for them. E.g., they use us as "food". Or they need us to solve some other practical problem in their civilization (not unlike the tools we are area creating for ourselves) - like, help them migrate across the Universe (because they are too small to create the necessary tools by themselves). Would you accept this as a decent meaning? Would your existential problems become easier to bear based on this knowledge?
