- If something is random, does it have any meaning?
- Aren't we/our thoughts/our actions a consequence of chains of events that start from a random occurrence?
- Does a piece of "art" which has been created out of randomly chosen elements have any more meaning (in the eyes of the viewer) than one that has not? Especially considering that most contemporary art is intentionally displayed without some sort of description, and a large amount of it does not explicitly or literally illustrate its intentions - art nowadays often acts as a blank canvas onto which viewers can project their own ideas, and any specificity that comes from the mouth/hands of the artist is dismissed as being an attempt to "force an interpretation." If it is in the form of background information, then the viewer states that it represents failure to communicate through the work alone. If it is the work itself that provides specificity, then the viewer states that it is too literal. In that case most abstract art could be just as easily replaced with randomly generated images.
- Can something created without purpose serve the same function as something created with a purpose? (Probably.)
- Where there are no meanings, we invent them. Are these worth more, less or the same?
- If our existence does not come with a meaning, what is the difference between the life of someone who has invented their own meaning/purpose, and the life of someone who is also carrying out a series of actions, but without having assigned a meaning/purpose to these actions?
