you can't give any meaning to your life, we all die thats the inevitable end of ones life no matter what "meaning" you give to it ultimately it is nothing. So yes life is pointless as the current form of human brain self consciousness is beyond our bio form and it is more advanced than our pathetic cells which fail so fast to function.

Life is just a random chemical reaction that happens on some planets with certain ratios of elements a certain distance from their stars.

It has spread fairly well on Earth but when it ends, it will be in the blink of an eye, and will leave no significant trace on a universe whose expanse would expunge our minds if we could perceive a fraction of it.

Whatever homie. It's cool to be euphoric, but you have to remember that a certain percentage of people experience, for example, paranormal phenomena, NDEs, astral projection, divine guidance, magick, and such, which seem to imply that there is more to this... if the consciousness itself doesn't ring any bell. In short, we are most likely living in a computer simulation and have an afterlife in a place that is like very far future to us.

>For something to qualify as life does it have to be conscious in the way that we and other animals are?
I don't think so. When I said life I meant anything that exists according to the 8 characteristics of life. And I said life has spread well on earth because it has evolved to be far more complex than base organisms such as bacteria. Thanks to the evolution of sentience we get to contemplate questions such as "is life pointless".

firstly nice dubs, yes i have been seeking that "meaning" myself for a long time i have studied abit biology and physics so i have come to realizing that people that created god are way minior than actual intelligence of a scientist. Humanity is a bugged AI within bio form that developed art,
philosophy, and an ultimate self consciousness that is what human life is. To understand the roots of being we should get out of this useless body as our vessel is so week compared to our
intelligence thus limits us.

I like to think about that kind of thing too. I hope there is unique and complex life as far as the universe extends. Since there is so much out there, and the odds are great that there are countless materials and reactions that humans will never come in contact with, there must be forms of life that we can't comprehend or imagine. I think that's exciting. And sad because there's so much we'll never know.

My own personal belief is that most interpretations of "god" are human constructs and that if a god does exist (all knowing all powerful) we wouldn't be able to define it with our limited vocabulary.
>>
>>714187976
yes, and there is only people with a low-morale and a hivemind brain that strives for meaning
>>
Yes, it's pointless. The universe is cold and doesn't care about us. At this point events are already in motion that will eventually destroy the only planet to have produced any form of life that we have ever seen.

Life might have meaning if we worked as a collective to ensure the survival of it, but humans are extraordinary stupid and short sighted for being the smartest creatures to ever have the dumb luck of being created (again, that we are aware of). To actually have the capacity to understand our circumstances and peril and yet to do nothing about it - worse, to care about shit that doesn't matter, and that no alien being would ever probably understand - is sadly going to be the tragic story of life on earth.

Thanks. The thing is that the novel isn't very well written, and the publishers were only doing their job. I will have to write much better next time. The novel manuscript has some incest and other no-no stuff in it which are impossible to edit out at this point, so I won't rewrite it, but instead write something completely new. You're right that it's a very hard subject to write about, and although I have the required knowledge and means to explain paranormal in a simplified way to the larger audience, the topic is unfortunately "creepy", and I'd have to water it down a bit. The failed novel is almost horror although I never intended it to be.

You have a great point. I wonder what limits us from working together collectively. Possibly the fact that we are still extremely close to animals. We all have the base desire to have and want. We need things quickly and we want to see the fruits of our labor. If we worked towards the preservation of life starting with this generation it would take many many millennia for that dream to be realized. I don't believe people are selfless enough to do that. But one can dream

Almost no one has the ability to write well the first time. It, like almost everything in life is a skill that has to be finely honed. I believe the best books go through many many many revisions to make it as good as can be. You will not be an exception, but I do hope you do eventually find success in your endeavors.

What you fail to see is exactly what you need to understand in order to be somewhat peaceful with your existence.
Your life matters because everything you do and everything that happens to you affects literally everything.
Small particles you move now can affect wether a new planet will form in 1 billion years or not. Even after your death the particles recycled from your body can affect events on an incredibly large scale.
Thing is most people don't look at life to the smallest bit so they miss out the whole picture.
Maybe life itself has no significance but it changes our universe, or at least our solar system.

Maybe instead of just dismissing this entire thing give me an actual argument or opinion that holds ground. What meaning does your life have except as a manner to further propagate life, or if you've chosen not to have children, what are you actually doing, and is it "important". I'm not saying there is no joy in life, or that life is a waste, I am just posing a question.

Do you have people in your life that you care about? You live for them.

You are meant to be part of a group and be the best member of that group that you can be. You're like a wolf without a pack wondering why you're a sad wolf.

Humans has a hivemind that is always striving for meaning because we can't think independantly, we just see the small picture of things right at that moment. Every religion, political ideology, lifestyle all of this is striving for meaning. Every action we do can be interpretaded as an action to solve life's impossible puzzle. And then we die. And then we get forgotten. Humans are basically a resource

Actually camera has recorded phenomena, just google ufo. The phenomena take place after a closed manner, and within sorta kinda 'inner circles', e.g., The eye witnesses of Phoenix Lights were a huge inner circle of thousands. I've seen an object fly on its own as if from telekinesis, which is my personal proof. Just pick up the grimoires and start conjuring, I did that for fifteen years before my experience tho.

>>714191349
consequence in my opinion
a fake alien vid said one "meaning is something that is ascribed, nature is the objective reality" and nature is what i call all of this.
for us to have meaning is basically a calling for a god or a higher spiritual entity... too tired to explain why but you can think of it yourself

>>714191415

>>714190543
I think several things hold us back.

Foremost is simply the fact that the we are still, in the grand scheme of things, in our infancy and prone to reliance on manufactured supports. Primarily, religion. We didn't understand our existence and we feared death so we created religion as a source of comfort and community. It has certainly aided the civilization of modern society but is a crutch as far as advancement of the security of life. Religion has infected hundreds of million of people and, IMO, represents the single largest threat to life'a survival.

Secondly we are selfish and can't see past our own bubbles. Two planets collided millions of years ago, sending fragments of rock in a hundred different directions. One of them is headed to earth and will eventually hit us and end all life. It may be 5, 10 or 500 years from now, but this is all but certain to end all life on earth before our sun goes supernova and ends us first. And yet we care about the new Tesla. Or new clothes. Or a new album. Or our deadend job.

Frustrating, isn't it? People don't realize how unique we are in our ability to think and understand. If a meteor were to strike earth and take out a society of dogs an outside observer would feel sad in the dogs' poor luck but know they didn't have the capacity to do anything about it. Their life just ran its course. Humans actually have the unique combination of brains and physical ability to both understand and do something about it, yet we sit - complicity awaiting our destruction with open eyes.

yes life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value and is totally nonsensical

the only reason to keep living is pure hedonism, whatever gives pleasure... it doesn't even matter if is morally approved or not since morality does not inherently exist and moral values are abstractly contrived

now go out and do whatever the fuck you want, make your brain release all those chemicals that provides "happiness" ENJOY 24/7 at any cost, thats the only propose in life and when you can't provide yourself with more pleasure (being chronically sick, etc) just kill yourself since there is nothing else to live for

Do you have any further points to bring out, I loved reading that. I am of a similar opinion that structured religion is as of "the information age" essentially useless, but I still believe that spirituality is useful as a mechanism to cope with existence and that it can be a nice support to fall back on for many individuals.

Your 2nd point, do you believe this is something we can overcome or that it is something too deeply ingrained in our very existence?

That is a cyclical question.

There is no point if there is no one to make it.

IF you do not make one there isn't one. That is your answer.

This, years of contemplation and pure hedonism is the only thing I live for.
Still working the puzzle of how social interacions cause feelings of joy for things no hedonist would chose. (Children, wifes, family shit etc.)

This is textbook projection. There are people that find meaning and never lose it, you're just a dumbass or too immature to know yet.

Basically be a self-liberated no-fucks-given person?
If it wasn't for what society thought i would do that

Thank you! the reason I called it an opinion is only for the sake of never being certain. I understand that humans are social creatures, yet there are many people who are "introverted' and, of course there are many different levels of this that possibly all have explanations that we are not yet able to find, but back to my point, do they still adhere to this principle?

Even introverted people need human bonds to be happy. Outside of schizoid personality disorder or autism, everyone needs human contact. Social isolation is literally a form of torture. I'm introverted, but I still need human interaction.

I see many good points in your post. I am of a similar opinion. I believe that the way that we perceive things comes from what we have gone through in life and the decisions that we or others have taken that have effected us. Thank you for the insight!

A very nice metaphor. I approve! a great way for us to relate our existence to something that is usually perceived as "under" us, yet we still share similarities, albeit in a different form.

Very true, objectivity over subjectivity, because subjectivity is the truth only to the individual that holds the view and objectivity is the truth regardless.

Don't pursue it. It leads to drug addiction and doesn't provide you any lasting happiness. You see all those homeless and junkies in society? That's how they got there.

Caaaaaaaan do!

Meaning - What is meant by a word, text, concept, or action.

Purpose - The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists

(Oxford Dictionary)

There is a subtle but important distinction between these two words.

Meaning implies an intent. Most life simple does.... Humans try, animals do.... Meaning is a human invention.

I like this op, your question made me think.
>>
>>714187976
you got the point
>>
>>714193268
Because a lot of people tend to marry people that they don't truly love.

>>714193526
Absolutely they're exceptions. Normal humans with normal brains need human bonds to be happy and will suffer without them.

Love is unfair then? Which means you don't get what you want which means that the love you once felt feels old.

>>714193710
People settle down because they have no better options and some people mistake infatuation for love. Lifelong love is real and exists. You don't usually stop loving people in your family.

Thank you very much for your response, all I'm trying to do here, so I'm happy it worked. I guess the idea to take from your point is that the search for meaning has no answer, and therefore the search for meaning can never be purposeful? Playing with words is fun ;)
