Let's Say I Achieve "Meaning." What Do I Do Next?

You forgot to look on the bright side of that possibility: The universe remains unaltered and consistent for all subsequent lives it can support. Think of a house, what would happen over time if each occupant could alter the frame even by minute amounts? Accumulated deviation over the years would destabilize the house until catastrophic collapse.
