adding meaning to things is what humans do.


yes. absolutely.
 

do you think it is possible to make media free of interpretation, or subjective meaning?

an example:

to me, my father's 8mm films hold endless amounts of meaning (I never knew him, and now i can feel a connection, and know something more about him)

to you they may seem like crappy videos of boring people walking in a lake or leaving for prom... they are "meaningless" to you

To me those videos are extremely significant

to the rest of the world, nothing would change if they didn't exist.


meaning, interpretation, significance, it is all subjective. but the meaning intended by the author, the meaning that i bring to something, or the meaning you being to something have the same "worth"



but.

but.

but.

what is the point?

you are pretty close to the answer on this.

very close.

memories of a parent serve a function.

the function of reproduction.

there is no matter to any of this.
