Replying to @BrendanGrahamD1
@BrendanGrahamD1 Intrigued by premise of "meaningful" information relating to the viability of the organism. I have one major question: Isn't it true that some of the most meaningful actions are precisely those that are self-sacrificial? I.e. taking a bullet for loved one, etc.
