Objective meaning doesn't exist, but pain receptors definitely come included in the box, along with a lot of other drives. You can override them with culture, but culture is not exactly arbitrary either.
- troad 3y ago> Objective meaning doesn't exist, but pain receptors definitely come included in the box, along with a lot of other drives. You can override them with culture, but culture is not exactly arbitrary either. You're conflating meaning with facts. The meaning you give your life is internal and inherently subjective. External reality is not.
- HKH2 3y agoMeaning depends on biology. We have a lot in common biologically, so a lot of meaning is intersubjective. Language is useful as far as meaning is intersubjective. You can explore meaning, but I don't think you get to choose what has meaning.
