Full Idea
What is special about meaning? If meaning and reference are just the result of causal chains, almost everything will mean something, since almost everything is reliably caused by something.
Gist of Idea
If meaning and reference are based on causation, then virtually everything has meaning

A Reaction
It would be insane to think that all causal events produced meanings. It is probably better not to mention causation at all when discussing meaning.
