I wonder what people mean by "life" and "meaning"
​
For common notions, I suspect that the phrase "meaning of life" may be a category error. In other words,is "life" the sort of thing that "meaning" can be applied to? As an example, it makes no sense to talk of a square circle.
​
The fact that a question can be constructed in language does not guarantee that the question is legitimate.
