  • Well.. since the creation of the universe, at least in a scientific perspective, everything has cooled down and everything has strived for greater complexity. Galaxy's, the chemical elements, created in the center of stars, scattered across space when they go POOF!
    How those elements later on began to gather in greater density around other younger stars, which some how ended up creating everything in between asteriods --> planets --> atmosphere --> climate --> amino acids --> proteins --> nucleic acids --> dna --> single celled organisms --> multi celled organisms --> badgers --> mankind --> linux, nexuiz, lolcatz, beer, sliced bread, internets, dwarf pr0n. Think of it as tossing a loaf of bread in a pool with a fat lady in it. That is the universe we live in.

    As you clearly see, everything strives towards a greater complexity. I do agree that life is utterly totally meaningless, since in the greater sense, for where are we? Living not even on a speck of dust in the milky way galaxy. The lack of development, realising we are one species, on one planet in the sol system. Rather than putting our energy on the strife towards the stars. We still have stuff like "countries, money, war" when we live not even on a atom between the grains of sand in the deserts and beaches of earth, when all that sand don't cover all the stars in the universe. So mankind have a long journey ahead. All this talk about mankind being insignificant, is great, since this gives us as insignificant parts of mankind freedom. However since the dawning of whacks, pointing, grunts, drawings, internets one single individual have a greater chance of making a great difference. I hope mankind will find its way to the understanding of 42. In the meantime:

  • Then if the whole meaning of life is to give your life a meaning and if that meaning was to find this answer, that means when you found that answer and understood that there is nothing more and that your quest is over, you should end your life, no?

    Incorrect. There is no meaning of life, thus you don't have a meaning to search for a meaning of your life.
    Or if you want, each individual decides if he/she has a meaning, I decide I don't have one thus I won't be looking or giving me a meaning of life.

    Or thirdly, if you wanna go with the scientific way of life, your meaning in life is to preserve your species, meaning giving birth to offsprings.

  • What's the point of preserving your species?
    It sounds like it would matter how many times you $%^&*( smb and how many offsprings you left for your rotting corpse.

  • Then if people simply live for the sake of living, death sounds as a liberation and not some sort of ultimate evil.

    Indeed. I'm incorrect.

    If there is any meaning in life, we won't find it. (or at least a whole horde of philosophers didn't find it yet)
    So, if we can't find it (or it's most likely simply not there), why shouldn't we give our life a meaning by doing something with our time?
    Helping others, contributing to Nexuiz and so on. :D

    Why should we even need a reason to live?

    Questions over questions.

  • Wrong, all you are. 4m the reason will be. Missed is Morfar.


    On the other hand, why do we insist that no meaning is counterproductive?
