Posted on Apr 22, 2012 I say Mass Effect brought up a good point: One of the base human instincts is to emulate oneself. I say the meaning of life is to recreate life. The common goal of biological life on Earth is survival and procreation so, because of our inherent need to procreate, we will seek out new ways to recreate life in our own image.Thoughts? |

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 I'll stick with my immortality idea - the meaning of life is to not die, through procreation or not.

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 My feeling is that, you know, life's fundamental meaninglessness is what gives what we do with our individual lives any kind of meaning or import. What I choose to do in the face of the inevitable approach of the gaping maw of the void is all I've got.

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 Here's some bad news -- the physical universe has a "sell by" date. You simply cannot live forever here.

Posted on May 5, 2012 In my opinion the meaning of life varies with person to person, as it is what gives your life meaning that determines the meaning of life. Even if that meaning is meaningless as it is for countless individuals, that (meaningless) meaning is still the meaning of life. Once you have lost that meaning regardless of if that meaning was meaningless to begin with or not is when your meaning of life and the meaning to your existence end.

Posted on May 10, 2012 Because of the impossibility of the question's interperation using the literal meaning of the words, I consider this question to be equal to how life "began," which is probably solvable. I do not have enough information, nor will ever gain access to reliable information to answer that, but I'm pretty sure some form of "life" began without some of the qualities that scientists define life with today, such as the requirement to have DNA. These early microbeings most likely did not reproduce in a manner that fits the scientific definition of life and so could not be considered as life. They probably still exist everywhere, but are to hard to detect. I'm pretty sure we have found foreign microbeings that are smaller than viruses. They fit my definition of the origon of life. Whatever caused those things to be generated is the "meaning" of life.

Posted on May 12, 2012 I always thought it was pretty obvious, to propagate. As to whether that fulfills you or not, is the real issue.
