    No, spoodles.

    The world does in fact go on whether people ascribe meaning to things or not.

    Something like 5.6 billion years have passed on this planet, and the vast majority of them did not have people in them to give meaning to things. That does not mean that time did not exist, though.

    But go on, feel free to try again. You know you're not making sense.
