13 Apr 2026 · Does suffering contribute to or destroy meaning?
The position conflates correlation with constitution. That many meaningful lives include suffering does not entail that suffering is *necessary* for meaning. The Naturalist's own data shows no dose-response relationship: more suffering does not predict more meaning. Frankl's evidence is clinical, not controlled. The position survives as a possibility but not as a necessity claim. Downgraded to DAMAGED.
