Reason and Meaning

1. The concept of reasoning is falwed. I really need to write a book on this matter, or at least an artcile elaborating on it. In short, the idea that, if certain event B occurs (almost)always after event A, then A is the reason of B. It is a big fallacy. This only tells they happened so, so far. The term 'reason' should be reserved for something other than just coincidence. Yes, all in science so far, we have mistaken coninncidence for reason. Like the tune of a music, there is just one underlying law in this universe. There is no causal dependency between any two events in the universe. All events are causally linked directly to only one underlying rhythm. That rhythm itself if the mother or the equivalent of creator.

2. The concept of meaning is flawwed. I need to write more on this as well. It could be a separate book or a separate chapter in the book about reasoning. The idea is, the concept of meaning has no element of reality. It's an artifact of our cognition. Outside our thinking, there is no existence of meaning. No existence means that, there is no verifiable effect in nature that can give positive evidence of meaning. On the other hand, there is no phenomenon in nature that needs a meaning to be explained and it is not possible also to have a consistent description of nature by assuming meaning's existence.
