I think it's a psychic echo that yes anded reality into existence. That higher powers are our own creations as a byproduct of consciousness, tools we used to grasp complex topics like time and awareness.

Nihilism is the incomplete conclusion drawn from the limited perspective of a rising beast who has yet to reach the summit. The only thing one can be certain of is the struggle, hence only a fool would give up and wither away.

>How do you find that one thing that keeps you focused and gives you a reason to live?
Who says you can only have one thing? Cultivate a taste for everything life has to offer. I'm currently heartbroken over a girl, and I'm currently indulging in the heartache. Embrace the struggle.

Actually autistic, you never played a PvP server. You never experienced grinding alongside a random horde in the same area without being able to communicate and you never know when he will attack you out of nowhere. Will you do it first? Or is he really friendly?

>On the most basic level; how can you notice the absence of something you have not defined??
By paying attention.

There is a distinct smell that transports me right to my childhood. I have no idea what it is or what it reminds me of. But I know for a fact I smelled it a couple years ago on a street. And I know I'm not smelling it now. If you asked me for a definition, I could not tell you anything except tautologically insist that the smell from my childhood is the smell from my childhood. Definitions don't precede recognition. They merely codify it.

>l would have to ask you in response
>>"What is meaning?"
Meaning is intentionality. It's the property of being "about" something, and preferably about some underlying reality.
>X-Y=1
>X+Y=3
This is a meaningful set of equations because underneath them is the idea that X=2 and Y=1. However, those equations can be rendered meaningless when we realize they don't point to any actual underlying reality after all.
>X-Y=1
>X+Y=3
>Y+X=-1
This is meaningless. It isn't pointing to anything deeper, anything that stays invariable across individual events (equations).

In human life, meaning is defined by coherence, purpose and significance Your life being a consistent narrative, pointing towards something and that something being important. You might not have a language to define this just like an baby cannot articulate the word "milk" or "hunger", but your circuitry seems to respond to this fairly reliably.
