I think that the whole controversy of meaning is quite interesting (aren't we just so philosophical)! I would argue
that perhaps a mind capable of creating meaning does actually have intrinsic meaning in that it possesses meaning
within itself, if only for itself (to get back into the somewhat paradoxical strange loop/recursion idea).
That's not to say that it has extrinsic meaning outside of that person's own mind, and maybe that's the only kind
of meaning that matters! Who can say. The Nihilist in me is squirming at my use of semantics to create a sense of
hopeful reassurance that my life matters, when really I am not sure! I suppose it comes down to the fact that I
don't believe there is a way to know, which also sheds light on why I am agnostic rather than atheist when it comes
to religion. Maybe it's a bit of a cop-out, a way to allow my mind to not deal with a wholly meaningless universe,
but it just feels wrong to fully dismiss something that we know so little about, and maybe can never fully comprehen

(1) X=Y	; Given 
(2) X^2=XY	; Multiply both sides by X 
(3) X^2-Y^2=XY-Y^2	; Subtract Y^2 from both sides 
(4) (X+Y)(X-Y)=Y(X-Y)	; Factor 
(5) X+Y=Y	; Cancel out (X-Y) term 
(6) 2Y=Y	; Substitute X for Y, by equation 1 
(7) 2=1	; Divide both sides by Y 
-- "Omni", proof that 2 equals 1
