Sound and Nihilism

[robvalue]

I agree your idea of meaning won't exist in terms of your brain when you're dead. But it's effects on your actions will affect others. This may alter their idea of meaning, and so on. So you could look at it that the consequences of your meaning got absorbed, in an abstract sense.

And people will remember you, and your meanings, and in that way a version of them lives on.

Unless you lived in total isolation of course. Even then, people may find evidence of how you lived later and this may affect their idea of meaning.

It's a good comparison, with sound waves and "sound".
