I think of this as "optimistic nihilism". I used to consider myself an "optimistic nihilist". But now, I understand the meaning of my life (by way of my biological programming) is producing offspring and ensuring they get to the point where they can produce offspring. They bring me great joy (AKA the right combination of bio-chemicals + electrical signals, ego death be damned). So now, my meaning of life is my children. Any other "meaning" is something I make up and pretend (Eg. do a startup). And I'm at complete peace with all of that. And I'm still a very optimistic person.
