A metaphor to describe the meaning systems that humans "run" on -- similar to software for a computer. Our meaningware consists of the "coded" meanings we inherit from our cultures, families and personal experiences and education. Similar to software, our meaningware can require updates, security patches and can have fatal bugs that cause major problems.
Life just isn't making much sense to me these days -- I think I need to debug my meaningware.
Man, I wonder when she last updated her meaningware?
