Excellent analysis.

The only issue I have with that quote is what is "meaning", seems a bit like a Witch trial where you must admit to delusion or dishonesty. Then even if I admit or am that and do not know, it just does not matter at all. I breathe because I always have.

REAL-TRUE-FACTS are Quantifiable, rigorously defined, scientifically verifiable and or logically necessary (like NOUMENON) - AND TECHNICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY MEANINGLESS.

Unfalsifiable Qualitative, experiential, personal private, opinions and feelings are MEANINGFUL.

We are told from a very young age that our feelings don't matter.

This is a counter-factual statement (propaganda) that is used to culturally brainwash us.

MEANING = MOTIVE (E-MOTION).

Without e-motion (motive/meaning) the nihilist will not move, will not eat, and will most certainly die (unless they are "rescued" and placed on "life support").

I have delegated to you to show my appreciation (just like an upvote).

Please do not feel obligated in any way.

I know it can feel a little strange, but you owe me nothing at all.
