Not the author, but I think there's a difference between claiming there is no meaning and claiming that the different narratives of meaning are an illusion. Saying it as the author did shows that there is a process happening but maybe the "meaning" we come up with isn't the useful piece. Simply saying "there's no meaning" can either end the discussion or take you in a thousand different philosophical directions. Taoism's 10,000 things could be rephrased as 10,000 narratives of meaning. Maybe the value/meaning of our cognition lies in this process, but not in the narratives we associate with it.
