Meaning

Ambiguity means confusion about what is conveyed, since the current context may lead to different interpretations of meaning. Many words in many languages have multiple definitions. Ambiguity is an effect of a rupture of the rule of identity in the context of the exchange of information.
This paper will argue that if consciousness is seen as primary in nature and if dissociated states are a normal characteristic of consciousness, then most of the phenomena do form a meaningful relationship. Thought-Forms Gone Rogue: A Theory for Psi-Critics and Parapsychologists. Adrian Parker
== The meaning of meaning ==
The meaning of life is the struggle to impart meaning to meaning.-- Eric Weinstein, pub. Mar 11, 2020.Prof. Agnes Callard on The Portal, Ep. #023 - Courage, Meta-cognitive Detachment and Their Limits [ 23,408 views | 4.56 rating w/ 766 likes (74 dislikes) | Duration: 2h6m14s | Uploaded: 2020-03-11 by Eric Weinstein ]"what is meant by a word, text, concept, or action." G19Bullshit is a perpetual threat to us. — John Vervaeke Published on Jan 23, 2019One corollary of the alphabet being key is that it is tied to human levels of cognition, meaning that the human is in fact central to universal meaning rather than a mere coincidental or happenstance phenomenon. ["academic", reddit19]A lack of purpose can increase the risk of mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, resulting in poorer sleep, worsening health, and in extreme cases, substance abuse and thoughts of suicide. Some have turned to the East, most recently, to the ancient Japanese concept of ikigai, which means, roughly, “to live the realization one hopes for.” Another interpretation, “that which makes life worth living.” Take note that there’s no exact English translation.Iki means “life,” whereas gai means “value” or “worth.” Gai comes from the word kai meaning “shell.” This refers back to the Heian period (794 to 1185), when shells were considered valuable. We can interpret ikigai as finding value in one’s life or discovering one’s purpose.
== Meaning of history ==
Romans and the Romish both had a narrative-order perspective on history, which gave it meaning.
"Augustine, on the other hand, argues that linearity. a sequence of unique moments, and finality characterize the structure of history. For Augustine a certain structure is a necessary prerequisite for ultimate historical meaning. To complete the daim that there is ultimate historical meaning Augustine argues that a unique and final destiny, which gives to the whole of historical life a definite rneaning, is dependent on the role of a supreme beinz. According to Augustine, final historical meaning depends on this divine purpose." Victor Dias
John N. Figgis writes: "no one who takes the Incarnation seriously can avoid some kind of philosophy of history. . . . Take a definite historical fact as your center. take an acmal visible society as the special sphere of God's operation, a society which has a past and must have a future on earth; and then you are compelled to some philosophy of history."
== Religion and meaning ==
Those results tell us clearly — and worryingly — that religion as a source of meaning has become politicized. Most liberals don’t have the deep relationship to religion (as a source of meaning) that most conservatives do. This suggests that liberals are indisposed to understanding why religion matters so much to conservatives, and are indeed likely to associate it with partisan politics. [Dreher November 2018]
