I spend long periods of time without ingesting sources of information without getting bored and literally dying. Conversely, if I was constantly bombarded with useful information, I would still go crazy, and that could very well lead to literal death. I think staying alive is one piece of meaningful information out of a very large set of meaningful information, most of which has nothing to do with staying alive.

In other words, meaningfulness is orthogonal to staying alive.
