Why are you so concerned with how the world works? What about how you work? This is about you and whether you have a soul or not. What good would it do to look out at the world to see if you have a soul or not. My point is that even if you are a materialist you still understand from your experience that meaning is a real thing.

I am a part of the universe, so "how do I work" is nothing special. What I know about "meaning" is that it is a word with a definition. Obviously my brain can think about "meaning" but just because there's a word in my head doesn't mean that it corresponds to something that actually exists.
