Seems more likely existence precedes essence imo if that's what you're getting at, but that doesn't mean things cannot have a function --evolutionary or otherwise.
I think if there was a purpose to all of this we'd just be making it up. It would be nice like a security blanket but it wouldn't mean anything.

I guess your right. it wouldmt mean anything. but maybe meaning is what's not an illusion.

Hey I have nothing against the security blanket, in fact I think everyone has/needs one.
We find meaning where we make it, and it is imo important to create meaning for ourselves to make it through this life.
I remember getting lost in nihilistic pondering of insignificance and meaninglessness, feeling the helplessness of it all, and it was a small comfort to reflect on childhood and realize this new discovery didn't invalidate the meaning I hadfound throughout it.
We grow out of those things but they're still close to heart, kept as fond memories, and sometimes they are about tiny insignificant details or moments or objects. The pattern of what is meaningful and what is not can be fairly illogical sometimes and I don't know if that matters.
Seems to me meaning doesn't really have much to do with any pursuit of truth, its something we create when we let ourselves get attached to anything deeply enough or let it be a apart of our self-definition in some way, or sometimes just because things are pretty for a moment. :shrug:
I can find meaning in something now and not care for it later and it still will have served a fine purpose: the purpose of getting through this life.
Gotta keep finding those security blankets. Learn to knit if you have to.
