You've experienced emptiness many times in your life.
somebody told you something, you engaged its meaning, got all gooey-eyed and emotional, went on the ride and suddenly you 'realised' it was bulldust and you 'got off it'.
Then you 'found' something else.
How many times have you put yourself in somebody's way and tried to persuade them you are 'all that', (put them under a spell) and they found out you're full of shit.
They 'got' your act.
Dude, I'm not living in disneyland, i do beleive in meaning which is just as real as objective reality.
I'm not trying to prove that i'm all that, Didnt i say your veiws made sense? and didnt i the last time we met admit that you were right despite your attempt to make me feel bad about it.
this is what you said:
"Facing up is a very emotional experience for you chikoka"
despite attacking my ego i was honest enough to keep silent as i fully got your views.
Now i posed a question to you that you keep evading.
"What does meaning mean?"
With the collary of the infinite regress.
I'm asking you that because i dont know what it means despite (us both) beleiving in it.because i also dont know what objective reality means despite beleiving in it.
Try be honest like i try to be dennis.

Yes, but what you're doing is equivalent to endlessly asking what is "half of that" and pretending it means numbers don't exist.
Its not the same firstly because half is a number and at each halving there is a well defined number , the result does not depend on any other number (its half)
After each question in the infinite regress the result
fully depends on the next question.
