We're pre-empting Meaning Conference (the event that spawned this podcast last year) with our current thoughts on the subject of meaning. We talk about meaning vs survival, the differences between everybody's definition of meaning, self-awareness and the fragmentation of shared meaning. We talk about the nature of signs and language and the dangers of advertising.
