What is meaning?

1) It could be "the teleological" end "purpose of life". I agree that this is commonly based on values, and this is what people call "the meaning of life"

2) or meaning is "The Definition of Life". This could be purely biological but on the other end it could mean the sanctity of life based on values
I can't seem to compute either really, I see life as having nothing worthwhile or necessary about it, and no stakes, just a completely arbitrary, irrelevant, replaceable "A.I." style "blurgh" of sh*t. Like how people say that life is a "test" but never think of how that word is also used for just trying to do something, anything at all, just an experiment in manifesting.

I also don't think life is definable really, and each definition fails to do justice to what it may be, which we can't know and should never say with any confidence lest we become dishonest (oh no!).

I think that nothing has any value, making everything as valuable or non-valuable as anything else unless there is some agenda involved which then people can say that this or that is useful seeming to get this or that done, none of which even matters. If a person just dropped dead in an instant or spent zillions of years learning everything, each is equally as worthless seeming to me.

I take "life" to be referring to experiencing anything, and that anything could've been anything else, and it would still not katter, as there is nothing apparently at risk or crucial or involved, like a terribly written story, the story before and behind any story is "whatever" and could go away or be brought back.

We're trapped into experiencing for as long as we do and only when we do, so all we can ever know is life and experiencing, and giving things "meaning" also, in order to "understand" and navigate gibberish out of the blue or black or neither.

Nothing is even "really" anything at all, or what we ever say, or "good", it is just what happens to be there and given and what we are directed to consider good or bad for whatever reason traceable back to no reason.

"
The etymological origin of anarchism is from the Ancient Greek anarkhia (ἀναρχία), meaning "without a ruler", composed of the prefix an- ("without") and the word arkhos ("leader" or "ruler"). The suffix -ism denotes the ideological current that favours anarchy.[5] Anarchism appears in English from 1642 as anarchisme and anarchy from 1539; early English usages emphasised a sense of disorder.[6] Various factions within the French Revolution labelled their opponents as anarchists, although few such accused shared many views with later anarchists. Many revolutionaries of the 19th century such as William Godwin (1756–1836) and Wilhelm Weitling (1808–1871) would contribute to the anarchist doctrines of the next generation but did not use anarchist or anarchism in describing themselves or their beliefs.[7][8]

The first political philosopher to call himself an anarchist (French: anarchiste) was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809–1865),[2][3][4] marking the formal birth of anarchism in the mid-19th century. Since the 1890s and beginning in France,[9] libertarianism has often been used as a synonym for anarchism;[10] its use as a synonym is still common outside the United States.[11] Some usages of libertarianism refer to individualistic free-market philosophy only, and free-market anarchism in particular is termed libertarian anarchism.[12]

While the term libertarian has been largely synonymous with anarchism,[13] its meaning has more recently been diluted by wider adoption from ideologically disparate groups,[14] including both the New Left and libertarian Marxists, who do not associate themselves with authoritarian socialists or a vanguard party, and extreme cultural liberals, who are primarily concerned with civil liberties.[14] Additionally, some anarchists use libertarian socialist[15] to avoid anarchism's negative connotations and emphasise its connections with socialism.[14] Anarchism is broadly used to describe the anti-authoritarian wing of the socialist movement.[16][nb 1] Anarchism is contrasted to socialist forms which are state-oriented or from above.[20] Scholars of anarchism generally highlight anarchism's socialist credentials[21] and criticise attempts at creating dichotomies between the two.[22] Some scholars describe anarchism as having many influences from liberalism,[14] and being both liberal and socialist but more so.[23] Many scholars reject anarcho-capitalism as a misunderstanding of anarchist principles.[24][nb 2]

While opposition to the state is central to anarchist thought, defining anarchism is not an easy task for scholars, as there is a lot of discussion among scholars and anarchists on the matter, and various currents perceive anarchism slightly differently.[26][nb 3] Major definitional elements include the will for a non-coercive society, the rejection of the state apparatus, the belief that human nature allows humans to exist in or progress toward such a non-coercive society, and a suggestion on how to act to pursue the ideal of anarchy.[29]

"
Semantic satiation is a psychological phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener,[1] who then perceives the speech as repeated meaningless sounds. Extended inspection or analysis (staring at the word or phrase for a long time) in place of repetition also produces the same effect.

A just read in my bible about how David played music to calm Saul’s heart, and then accidentally clicked your instagram live telling us to go watch the premiere of this video. God used it, Jesus used you, to cheer me up and calm me down. Thank you and God bless you.
