This concludes the section on the varieties of nihilistic
special meaning.
Thanks to Sarah Elkins and Bruce Webber for performing roles
in this episode's scripted section!
No meaning without proof - A stubborn nihilist can always just
refuse to admit that anything is meaningful.
Scientific rationality has proven: everything is meaningless -
An event everyone thinks they remember, but never happened. Science
disproved religious theories of meaning, but not meaning
itself.
No meaning from the Big Bang - Everything was meaningless at
the moment of the Big Bang. What could add meaning after
that?
No meaning for mortals - Your future death does not make your
present meaningless.
