I think so. The notions of pointlessness and meaninglessness are mind
viruses just like other ideologies. But from within the virus--within the
sense of pointlessness--it would be good to have reasonable cases against
it. For instance, if complex systems theory gives a strong case for
meaning, that would be points scored against the existentialist view of
pointlessness, even for people who have that particular virus. Know what I
mean?
