I mean, surely there's more to it than just reproducing and working your life away right?

its your life nigger you can give it any purpose you want

No, unless you count GOD. Try it. I promise it will work out, just be careful of the human element.

Maybe you can make your purpose to help others. It feels good.
Or maybe you can make it to advance humanity as far as possible.
Like >>733565912 said, it's your life. Give it whatever purpose seems right.

>>733565837
Yeah. Reproducing and NOT working your life away.

To answer seriously, the purpose in life is pleasure.

The pursuit of happiness.

Whatever makes you happy (this goes for anybody) is the purpose in your life. Your happiness may be sex. Your happiness may be music. Your happiness may be religion. It may even be murder. Whatever your happiness is, pursue it.

>advocating murder omg crazy wild edgy
>>
>>733565837
Yeah kinda. So like, you could go the sensual pleasure route, but that gets old pretty quickly and eventually sinks either into addiction or depravity, so that kind of sucks. Then there are the folks that go for the God route, which is kinda like going the sensual pleasure route, only now the thing we wind up clinging to is an idea about how the universe works and not just stuff. We call this spiritual materialism. So we turn to the science route, looking for answers in data and testing, but this too is a dead end (or rather an infinite end) and will only wind up with just asking questions for eternity. This isnt so terrible as at least we start to get some vague answers about stuff, but data isnt super fulfilling when it comes to the human experience so thats kind of a drag too.

Then there are the folks who do the meditation route, which is kinda like the god route and the science route all smashed up together. This path shows us how our system works and effectively how best to totally bliss out and get high naturally, but even this doesnt pan out because no matter how high we get, we look around us at people suffering and unless we are totally devoid of empathy, we come crashing down feeling helpless. So then what's left is seemingly the service route, which is an attempt at ending the suffering of others because we realize we can never be truly, 100% whole without everyone being whole.

TLDR: Spread love and kindness and shit, it makes everyone feel good including you and it gives life inherent meaning.

You may be right about that, but no woman could convince me to spawn a little ingrate. In fact, I refuse to date anyone who wants kids. But if you're the kind of person that likes kids, then sure, go for it.

Here we go with another 18 year old hitting his post-modern existential crisis.

No, there isn't an objective meaning or whatever for the universe or anything.
You have 2 choices:
Be a pussy and embrace nihilism because it's the easy way out.
Be a god damn man and create your own meaning and fight for it.

I'm not your dad so I'm not going to make you choose either one.

Assuming you're seriously asking, which you probably aren't because most nihilists live through a layer of ironic disassociation;
Because why not?
There is as much reason to try at life than to not try at life, but one makes you feel better.

If you want to lay on the ground and moan about how nothing holds objective meaning, that's your choice.
Just know that you're a fucking pussy who gave up because shit got a little bit difficult.
You could travel the planet, meet other people, experience technological advancements, but you're going to spend your life bitching and complaining because there isn't something within your realm of reasoning that you like.

And that's a choice.
As much as social media morons would like to convince you, depression is not permanent.
Every time you listen to death grips or whatever, and post ironic memes that further distance you from yourself, you'll be depressed.
Literally the only thing that is keeping you from being happy is you.
Go for a run.
Eat better.
Watch a movie.
Read a book.

Stop sitting around being a self destructive dipshit wondering why you're sad.

Your mind is your own, take control of it.

What if I can't seem to find what makes me happy?

Video games, TV series, anime and shit like that doesn't make me happy, they just occupy my mind.
No jobs I can think of that make me happy.
I have a decent paying one but I don't like it.
Only liked one job out of 7-8 (I'm just 27 haven't worked at a lot of places) when I was a mechanic.

I honestly can't remember the last time I was happy. Not joyful for a while, not entertained. Happy.
Probably high school or primary school years.

The reason I don't kill myself is even though I see no purpose to life, I see no purpose to end it either. It will end by itself eventually.

then what was the point in asking if you knew the answer. I just thought you were ignorant to the fact since you spent the time asking not one. but two questions that both seem to have same answer. Drugs are bad for us but i sure love that feeling so ill keep buying. my brain isnt gonna get high without smoking so obviously theres something wrong when youre sad because your brain releases something when it has no reason to. hence medication to stabilize and fix it.

even though I dont agree I can understand youre point and logic. Through my personal experience I just cannot come to agree to the fact that we have control over everything. How can something think straight if whats making them think..isnt working straight? I am starting to undertsand the responsibility aspect. Yes no matter what the reason if i do something shitty i still am responsible. But that doesnt mean there isnt an understandable reason to why a person chooses those actions. I just try to have compassion because what would it be like to not be in control of how you feel? horrible. sad. lonely. so Im not gonna go up to someone depressed and tell them to get over it. because they ARE sick and need external help...in my opinion.
>>
>>733573764
So you don't want to explore the option of ease? Most people order takeouts because it's easy, and they're lazy. Much the same way people guzzle anti-depressants, it's easier than doing the work on yourself to understand the process of choice making.

>>733574210
How is that not of value?
>>
>>733565837
Short answer, no.
Long answer, there's absolutely no meaning to life. We're just the product of what our ancestors evolved to be, and there's no real rhyme to reason for life. On a cosmological scale, we're nothing but tine little specks floating on a rock through space. The universe doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone or anything. So live life day by day, take it easy, and just roll along at your own pace. Any meaning one gets from living is just them inserting purpose into what has none. Just ride the waves of cosmic wonder and do your own thing.
>>
>>733574103
that i can agree with. Nothing has exactly one answer. But they have to be the right answers. Humans are indeed lazy beings so we do tend to go for whats eazy. But it again is a mix of the option of ease and the subconscious drives in our mind . Cus even tho papa johns is easy it doesnt have the same effect on me so I wouldnt order it.

You're just making up for mistakes from the previous life and making more so there will be a next.

All the aspects of intelligent design are evident in our universe.

I find it hilarious that people don't believe in intelligent design.

(POOF, LAW AND ORDER IN THE UNIVERSE FROM SOME SORT OF "BIG BANG)

And now they're proposing that we are just part of a multiverse.


It is quite a sight to see 'experts', like Professor Richard Dawkins at Oxford University, trying to discredit anything that doesn't fit with their concrete belief-system. He condemns religion while being an evangelist for his own - the religion of this-world-is-all-there-is. Dawkins ridicules the 'God religions', but doesn't realise that he is a leading voice of the 'no-God religion'. He is the High Priest and Chief Zealot of the religion called 'Scientism' and he is desperate to debunk anything that could question his intellectual pre-eminence. Dawkins targets with religious zeal those who challenge the omnipotence of mainstream science. I have seen him close up during a debate at the Oxford Union, and also on his television programmes, attempting to debunk alternative healing and the 'paranormal'. I see fear in his eyes for some reason and almost a sense of panic and desperation. The thought that he could be wrong seems to terrify him, but surely he must know by now that he has been talking bollocks for decades. If he doesn't, given the evidence available, it's a real head-shaker. Where has he been? It is the legions of mind-made, song-sheet scientists like Dawkins that man the barricades whenever the party line is under threat. They are gatekeepers who seek to impose their own ignorance upon the masses. A few of them, and certainly those who run the institutions, know what they’re doing, but most have just been programmed by the system to program others.

I don't know which religion you're referring too, but the reason I love the bible is because it's very simple and straightforward.

"Love thy neighbor like thy own".

Anyone who tells you "don't do X or Y" seems to forget that the Lord died in the cross to absolve us from following strict mosaic laws like the jews still nowadays.

Love like thy neighbor like thy own, period.

The Lord said to Moses, “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”

Genesis 11:6


The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.

Virtually nothing will be impossible for humanity.

What was science fiction 20 years ago has already become a reality today.

Just wait until we hit the technological singularity, should be fun.

I'm not here to judge you though, to each his own.

God bless

>I mean, surely there's more to it than just reproducing and working your life away right?

Lol, typical pharisee.

Obviously you didn't read any of my past posts.

That's the old testament, back when we were living under mosaic law.

We Christians live under the New Testament, not ignoring the old testaments wise teachings.

Do you need me to use emoticons so you can better understanding what i'm saying?

What do you mean by "means",

brother?
>>
>>733576698
If it's possible for us that would mean it would be possible for every other species living in the galaxy.
I like the concepts in the bible, the inconsistencies are what bug me. What makes humans special? Why are we born in his image and not them? If an artificial being is superior to organic in every way, would they not be the favored? Would they go to Heaven if shut down?

I completely understand how you feel. Humans were made in the image of God.

Why? That's a very good question.

I don't want to preach any theoretical bull to you, but I will say this:

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

What use is the finite trying to understand that which is infinite?

All I can tell you tell you brother is that by opening you're heart to the lord god, you will feel such a peaceful, almost supernatural sense of calm within yourself.

Could you argue that it is psychological?

Absolutely.

But for me, any many, many other Christians out there - it's different.

Many things have happened to me personally that couldn't possibly be dismissed as a mere "coincidence".

That's all I can you though brother.

As for the inconsistencie, name a couple.

I can help you out.

but why humans? In the creation of AI we have proved that we are imperfect in almost every way. Would that make god imperfect if we are his image?
And what of the millions of other intelligent species scattered across the stars? Are we all the image of God?
>>
>>733565837
I was thinking about this for a quite while. Other than the main goal of having fun and reproducing, there is one secondary goal to all humanity, to evolve to better species and to achieve greatness beyond our home planet. Currently one human Elon Musk is working on it. I never understood why i loved so much scifi (about colonizing other planets) all my life, but few months ago when i got tired of games i realized that its because i want species to succeed and want us not to die by getting out of resources.

>>733577829
Like I said, I can't answer those questions?

Why? because I am imperfect as well. My knowledge on non-evident matters is contained by my own finite capacity.

>Would that make god imperfect if we are made in his image?

No not all, you have to remember we were made in Perfect in the very beginning.

That is until Genesis 3:22 when Adam and Eve took a bite of the forbidden fruit.

Now this may not be meant to be taken in a literal context, as you know that the Bible is full of metaphors and parables.

But I can say this, we were at one point as God intended us to be.

The devil did something that caused to lose our pre-fruit bliss.

Of course this is all of the Lord God's plan.

Think about life like something, that was simple, but human life has made it more complex and fascinating. Try to be one of the people that change things.

fides quaerens intellectum

"faith seeking understanding" in Latin.

I highly recommend attending any of your local Christian churches (with an open mind).

Try to open yourself up to different possibilities, we humans are so ignorant.

One moment were here, the next were dead.

Would like a free bible? I highly recommend trying it out.

In our hearts we already know that the Lord Exists,

we has have to open ourselves up and give a shot.

Read the bible, I have personally found no inconsistencies.

If you give me one then I will be more than happy to clarify it for you.

God Bless

I find myself asking the same thing. People tell me things like "you have to give your life purpose" But I'm over here like fuck kids, I'm 28 but still to selfish and can barely keep my own head above water. I work contract to contract in the infosec world and recently just started making $70 an hour, 2 years ago I was making just half that.
The point I'm trying to make is it feels like life so far has been go to school, get bullshit degree, then go into network security, get certs, abuse adderall to try and further myself and lie/cheat/bullshit my way to a higher status and better job so that I can make more money. But for what? I buy more shit and then due to contracting and sometimes biting off more than I can chew and sucking ass in higher level technical interviews; i go without work for 3-4 months at a time and panic like hell when the funds start to dry up and feel the repo man coming to get me, defaulting on credit cards etc. But I always seem to just barely get by and secure a new contract and its made me go "is this how life is going to be?"
To be honest OP, I'm 2 days into this new contract, but the stress has got me fuckin exhausted.
So far my life has been motivated by money and checking off things a list I've always wanted to buy and enjoy with little thought of what happens in 6 months. This can't be what life is.
