LANGUAGE IN THE MEANINGFUL UNIVERSE

For science to be possible the universe has to be constructed with meaningful criteria.

Likewise, for any language to exist, there needs to be a priori meanings which languages will need to express intelligible concepts. Or, in other words, without meanings there could not have been complex languages that are needed to unravel those meanings. Language is not just communication, it is a construct needed for making sense of things, and its existence implies an intuitive reason preceding the existence of language, that could intuitively perceive a need to make sense of things.

MEANING IN THE MEANINGFUL UNIVERSE

If meaning exists as an essential piece of the universe then meaninglessness is reduced to a mere fantasy or a lack of seeing the meaning that is always there.

Nihilism, as such, is a maladjustment of reality.

I am because I think and I think because there is a reason to do so, because there is Meaning (with a capital M) that makes thinking necessary.

If the nihilists are right, and the universe really is devoid of meaning, then language would have to disappear for there is no need of language if there is no meaning. Yes, we can affirm that we create our own meanings in an absurd universe – but that idea is just an absurd running away from the logical truth residing in the fact that there had to be a Meaning for language to be necessary in the first place. That Meaning has not disappeared; it resides in all meanings as their essence: it is meaning itself.

MEANING AS COSMOLOGICAL INTUITION

To properly understand this idea, Meaning has to be separated from either the Ideal or God. Cosmological intuition is the best term we can find to grasp this primordial drive that is Meaning. An intuition stemming from the meaningless void from which it exploded. An intuition in the void capable of creating a beginning, a Big Bang. An intuition for time and space and an ordering of matter into forms, driven by a desire to become more than an intuition and manifest itself as a reality – something capable of knowing things and knowing itself; of knowing and being-known; of uncovering its own self; of understanding what the intuition that itself is really is; of the discovering the meaning of itself and the realisation that that meaning is embedded in everything; and that everything should be preserved as that which deserves to continue because it is meaningful.

Meaning strives to exist and to remain. It wills eternity, which it knows it lacks, and needs the cognitive, sapiens entities that have evolved from this Meaningfulness in time and space to develop a way of making that eternity possible.
