Episode description

Some things are meaningful, and others aren't. This is obvious; yet most confusions about meaning begin by denying it.

Claims that everything is meaningful, or that nothing is, are motivated by fears: fear of the opposite.

We have a choice of explanations: ones that are simple, clear, harmful, and wrong; or ones that are complex, vague, helpful, and approximately right.
