Eternal torture seems pretty unpleasant. I can understand fearing that. As to meaning, I don’t know how it is relevant either way, but at the same time, I don’t quite understand what people are talking about when they try to say whether or not life has meaning. Tabooing meaning seems to not be possible. Moreover, when one asks them something like “should an intelligent cow be happy that its life has meaning, to provide food for humans” people say that that isn’t what they are talking about.
