We give our own existence worth.

That's relative meaning, - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativism

I'm discussing factual meaning, or worth. We are all factually worth the same amount outside of our social constructed hierarchies, and that is universally worthless and pointless. I don't see how it could be anything else unless you added a constraint such as a social construct.

Perhaps you are meaning-deaf. No shame in that.

"Factual meaning"?! What to hell is that? Apart from social constructions where else did you expect to find personal meaning? Inside a cell membrane? Dark matter? Stone tablets?

Words have a meaning and are true when what they convey corresponds to actual states of affairs. You can ask your question but it doesn't actually correspond to anything real. You are using words but saying nothing.
