Why explore a more mainstream business? I could go on and on and on, but sorry—time to write the help file.)
Nice.
It’s possible to feel meaning without those questions having a final answer. As in, those whys really can string on indefinitely, but when I’m involved in a task, the meaning can be apparent to me, but not in a way that language captures.
I’m not satisfied with the answer that a hidden, higher-order goal or a secondary reinforcer is at work here. I think the action of carrying out a meaningful task has meaning in itself, not something that terminates in a final “because.”
Is this clumsy of me to say? I honestly don’t know what value this community would place on a claim that starts with “language is unable to capture it”—sounds pretty fishy, no? Am I just giving too much credit to what is really a preference?
