Well, I'm sort of abstracting from the particulars of existential accounts, in the way that "Gnostic" abstracts from many historical differences between certain ancient groups.

I think the question you're raising is whether life could be objectively absurd and subjectively meaningful at the same time, or whether one trumps the other. I don't really address that explicitly in the article. Maybe I'll write another one to delve into that.

(The dog I was walking felt her actions were meaningful, and it took the higher perspective of her human walker to recognize the clash between those meanings and the underlying facts. Likewise, as I address in some upcoming articles on intellectual elitism, there's a higher, philosophical perspective to appreciate the absurdities of mass society.)
