The Varieties Of Special Meaning, Part 7: 180 Proof

This concludes the section on the varieties of nihilistic special meaning.

Thanks to Sarah Elkins and Bruce Webber for performing roles in this episode's scripted section!

No meaning without proof - A stubborn nihilist can always just refuse to admit that anything is meaningful.

 

Scientific rationality has proven: everything is meaningless - An event everyone thinks they remember, but never happened. Science disproved religious theories of meaning, but not meaning itself.

 

 

No meaning from the Big Bang - Everything was meaningless at the moment of the Big Bang. What could add meaning after that?

 

No meaning for mortals - Your future death does not make your present meaningless.
