Whether it is minuscule or meaningless is isomorphically equivalent to the question of whether reproduction itself is meaningless. I'd say the meaning in this case is in the eye of the beholder.

The physical reality is one and only.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say.

I guess parent is suggesting the competition over stupid shit is really about signaling reproductive fitness, like a peacock's tail etc.

Cool interpretation! I like that concept. But grandparent was definitely trying to deconstruct the word "meaningless", getting a little existential in the process.
