Originally posted by gadzooks I think the whole idea is that you're allowed to fill that vacuous void with your own meaning.
That's what makes it such a bold statement.
It's the elevation of meanings as mere operational instruments (only of extrinsic value) to the status of intrinsic value, truly embedded in the framework of reality.
You don't have to agree, but that's why it's philosophy.
There is no definitive answer, only a series of dialogue leading to even more questions.
And a whole lot of anal fisting.
Well no, that defeats the point -

It's actually based on some profound philosophy that was built up over the course of hundreds of years.
There was a time when even considering a meaning in life other than worshiping God, or "the gods", or whatever diety/dieties ruled your universe, was a thought-crime of the highest order.
Then eventually, iconoclasts started positing their own meanings (altruism, beauty, hedonism, etc).
Some were ridiculed; others burned at the stake.
But then someone like Nietzsche comes along, following in the footsteps of the German Enlightenment philosophers like Hegel, Kant, and Schopenhauer, and he basically establishes that there is no inherent meaning to life.
And ultimately, this gives way to his interpretation that meaning is to come from the individual.
This individuality gave rise to all kinds of movements, including the Existentialist way of thinking (although the notion was already blossoming from Kierkegaard and the like).
So at the end of the day, if stretching your anus as widely as you possibly can is your personal idea of meaning in a world of chaotic meaninglessness, then you have just discovered that Goatse man was a true Ubermensch, and an exemplar for all to follow when they find themselves in need of meaning in life.
Meanings are an operational instrument that this grotesque meat monstrosity uses to parse its interactions with the world. The meaning of life... Is a vacuity. It fails its own tests. -

You see RisiR, you should never beat your wife. Your wife should tremble so fearfully when your hand rises, that it should never have cause to fall. -
