I fail to see how this isn't pessimistic. And as long as we're regurgitating Wikipedia:

It's not pessimistic it's completely neutral. Meaning is a human psychological invention that has no value that we don't subjectively give it. You literally can't argue against that. Even if you're coming from a religious point of view you'd have to presuppose that a deity could create objective meaning even though that meaning would also be a subjective invention. It's not pessimism vs. optimism. It's common sense vs. stupidity.
