Happy you enjoyed it, and very interesting take on the problem of meaning! Can't say I've thought about the problem of self, but I'm definitely interested now. I'm looking forward to diving into the idea that we can completely abandon our desire for meaning. I'm curious, though, when you say that this desire ultimately falls away, do you mean that one actively rejects finding meaning while still acknowledging the illusion of that search? Or, more simply, rejecting the concept of "meaning" altogether? I've intended to expand my reading list to encompass works of eastern philosophy, so I'm happy you brought up these examples from Hinduism. I'll definitely check out Jim Newman!
