There are no ultimate answers because there are no ultimate questions. The universe asks nothing. It does not speak. We speak and project the activities of questioning and answering onto reality. Since the universe does not speak, it has no answers. It is we who make answers out of what we encounter.

Sometimes so-called ultimate questions sound like they make sense, e.g. “What is the meaning of life?”, but the presupposes a singular, objective answer. Objects don’t speak, only subjects speak. Meaning is not something out there. It cannot be discovered, only constructed. It is a product of minds.

All answers are partial.
