I would love to comment, but how can I when meaning is subjective? Actually, how can we communicate at all without objective meaning? Spoiler: We can't.

Different meanings. Kid is jumping on me

I think you meant to say, "It's actually difficult to find *objective* meaning in language." As for different meanings of "meaning," that can't be subjectivity. There's a finite number of legitimate meanings for any given usage. To suggest otherwise is to devolve into the nonsensical. For example, I think you would agree that the word "meaning" cannot mean "pink unicorn."

You're talking about free will, not meaning.

They're closely related, but not identical in important ways.

Even if free will is completely illusory (which I more or less believe it is. or at least "a nonsense concept"), you could still have subjective meaning - and you can still communicate (as evidenced by the fact that we are doing so).

Not sure I follow. How are you defining free will?
