I hope this reply doesn’t sound avoidant, but I think the failure in this argument is in trying to analytically analyze this concept of meaning. I think meaning, and the deeper spiritual pursuit is ineffable. It exists outside of the framework that language/reason can grasp.  Modern humans can sit and armchair concept to wonder why architecture has changed forever, without realizing that the very thing we are missing is rooted in our insistence that these concepts can always be hashed out through logic and language.  What we are missing is something more primal, older than words themselves. 

 I of course understand what you mean. But in my core I cannot truly comprehend your point of view because I cannot avoid trying to rationalize with logic  everything 😂 

 Hahah of course neither can I! It’s the same advice I gave myself. I am currently writing a book about this topic… yet ironically I’m writing a book to say that these things can’t be described in language.  It’s the comedy we are all stuck in.
