Thought experiment on source of meaning...
We are allowed to split the universe into two separate timelines and watch a young woman fresh out of college live two different lives.
In the first, she will be preached the Gospel, and then blinded and locked in a suitcase-sized cell for the rest of her life. An intravenous drip for nutrients and a automated colostomy bag will be her only interface to the world.
In the second, she will never hear the Gospel, but will be happily married, have two well-adjusted children, and---marvel of marvels---find a cure for AIDS.
Which timeline will provide a more meaningful life? Show your work and justify your answer for full credit.

And...? Since you're the one all about absolute meaning, you should have the most compelling answer to this dilemma, no?

WAITING.
