to grok Meaning

[Advocate]

Meaning is salience, perspective, and priority. It is individual and bespoke

Meaning is of two kinds, avoid and approach, in that order of priority.

The meaning of life is that everyone must choose the answer to that question for themselves. No one can write your story for you.

To the extent your priorities are explicit, all life problems may be resolved.

Universal or group meaning is impossible except;
To the extent people share priorities, ethical truths may be uncovered.

Based on the premise that meaning is individual, what accounts for identical but independently discovered meanings?

They're not identical, they're close enough to group for whatever pragmatic purpose.

They're not identical, they're close enough to group for whatever pragmatic purpose.

That pragmatic purpose is to find and obtain objectivity.

Sure they are. For instance, two folks realize that God is Love. They've never met before.

Thus, identical but independently discovered meanings.

(That everyone has not discovered the same meaning, is irrelevant.)

[commonsense]

Meaning must be shared, or else it has no useful meaning. If my meaning is idiosyncratic it has no meaning for others.
