Then why have birth.

Why do we bring children into this world to eventually get depressed about the pointlessness of their being and fear their mortality. It's a malicious existence.
>>
Life's meaning is a view from humans, independently. If you were not human, no, there would be no "meaning", because meaning wouldn't be a thing. With something like existence, meaning is obsolete, it doesn't apply. This isn't a bad thing, it just is. On a more basic level, for life to have meaning, you have to give it meaning. If you don't/can't, then it doesn't. It really doesn't have to, it doesn't for me, and I'm A-Okay with it.

When describing life as "meaningless," are you implying that it's impossible to describe as a whole, or just without intent?
>>
>>739141147
without intent.
>>
>>739140923
On an esoteric level, this perpetuates the concept of life having meaning. On a biological level, this comes from our embedded drive to continue our species' existence.
>>
>>739140328
I believe based on what we know about the universe as of yet that there is no great intent driving all of reality towards a willed goal.
All that is the universe is in motion, each particle bouncing off the next in a cascade of reactions which has brought us to this presently perceived day.
Also time is an illusion created by man to compare the movement of bodies in relation to each other.

>>739140328
Yes, but you can give it meaning, through effort and pain. Lift the heaviest burden you can carry.

There is no inherent meaning. That doesn't mean it can't have meaning for you. Read up on existentialism if you have more questions.

You took the words from my mouth.
Fingers.

If life is bound by what we describe as the "passage of time," then the intent of life is to follow through to completion. To be born, to physically and spiritually exist, to assure that within the universe, and to die in that order.

Shit, dude, all color is is our interpretation of the spectrum of light. You think that time must be only exactly as we perceive it?
>>
>>739142877
can we really say we have experienced it?
what we have actually experienced as the passage of time is the relative motion of all bodies observed, the motion of the plant as it grows, the motion of the tree as it bears fruit, and the crumbling of brick as it's bonds give way to the impact of objects around it

you are supposed to reproduce and/or care for the offspring. that is the meaning of life.

Well, life is compelling, isn't it? That's the meaning. Life can have whatever meaning you find meaningful. Does it have some larger purpose beyond yourself? Maybe. But you don't necessarily know it. I suggest finding meaning in your own life before trying to figure out the "purpose" of all life. Also keep in mind that biological purpose is not the same as personal purpose . Bilogical purpose is to survive and reproduce. But that doesn't have to be your personal purpose.... although these things are often related to personal purpose in some way.

the term meaning is a human invention, trying to say that something has a purpose that is inanimate is kinda meaningless
>>
The very meaninglessness of life forces a man to create his own meaning. Children begin life with an untarnished sense of wonder, a capacity to experience total joy at something as simple as the greenness of a leaf; but as they grow older, the awareness of death and decay begins to impinge on their consciousness and subtly erode their joie de vivre, their idealism - and their assumption of immortality.

As a child matures, he sees death and pain everywhere about him, and begins to lose faith in the ultimate goodness of man. But if he’s reasonably strong - and lucky - he can emerge from this twilight of the soul into a rebirth of life’s élan.

Both because of and in spite of his awareness of the meaninglessness of life, he can forge a fresh sense of purpose and affirmation. He may not recapture the same pure sense of wonder he was born with, but he can shape something far more enduring and sustaining.

The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death - however mutable man may be able to make them - our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfilment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.

In a billion years, you think any of this shit is going to matter? Or that anything will be left alive here? Or that this is the first time life has sprung up in the universe?

What meaning is there if everything dies and life as we know it will eventually go extinct when our sun expands?
>>
>>739147501
that's what people don't realize that the main trick is just having "faith". God can be what you imagine him/her/it to be.. doesn't have to be some old man with a staff and white beard father of Jesus (hobo jew)

I am not saying to take the bible literally and I am not saying to completely disregard what it has to say. It was written by men but the morals and ethics and codes in the book are sound, save for some that have been updated over the years.. (who cares if I eat fish and meat on sunday?)...

if you see things in society or on tv/movies and you think wow that is really fucked up or "degenerate" that is literally created by people who are trying to rip society apart and create biblical prophecy see: israel

You're being arbitrary, here.

What meaning is there even if everything doesn't die and life as we know it will not eventually go extinct when our sun doesn't expand?
>>
>>739147825
You God can be whatever you want it to be, but in the same breath you basically assume we're talking about the god of the bible.

Which is all beside the point that you did not answer the question. What should he start believing in?

And if your answer to that question is God (something which can be whatever I desire it to be), then it's not an answer at all. When you make something subjective to that extent, you've annihilated all meaning from it.

God fucking damn it... no.

What is it with you depressed fags and mulling over these nonsensical existential questions. Literally, you really think that just because you're floating around in this vast cosmos, life is pointless? No one fucking knows, but it is in our best interest to keep it around in order for us to find out. And maybe even cherish the fact we even get to experience the beauty that the universe has to offer. The collections of cosmic dust, stars, gases, life. You won't gain anything from what I'm saying, which is shocking to me. You are a blimp in time, yet you find enough to lose interest in the very thing which renders you remotely relevant. Life. Meaningless? Who knows? Why do you even care? Just invent yourself and be happy that your eyes and ears can soak it all in.

God has always been an explanation for something we cannot explain. The lazy person's excuse to not investigate. God implies a lack of control because he is "All knowing, seeing, and powerful."

Your assertion of God is equally as baseless as any other assertion of what could have come before. There's 0 way of proving that bar time travel.
Asking me for an answer without proof just proves you don't understand science. Baseless hypotheses are worthless and without merit.

"If people looked at the stars each night, I'd bet that they'd live considerably more different -- once you look into infinity, you get a good sense of how small things really are." Our sun. Our home planet, Earth. You. People often look at these elements of the universe, and somehow it makes them feel insignificant. I wish people would consider this life thing to be more valuable. More valuable than the time which limits its experience. We know so little of the universe, but one thing is certain - it is undeniably beautiful. Isn't the ability to just experience this more profound than the black hole at the center of our own galaxy? More profound than the largest galaxy in the universe? More profound than the cosmos itself? We are all beautiful arrangements of dust and gas, occupying space and time, making choices, falling in love, reading, writing, thinking, stealing, murdering, betraying. With beauty, something must be ugly. For without ugliness, the beautiful parts of life would become dull. Unenthralling. And that, in itself, is beautiful in its own way. A strange, but beautiful way. I would never try to do something ugly to this planet or anyone trying to experience life, but ugliness is necessary to make something beautiful, beautiful. We may need to remember that from time to time. To encourage us to not dwell on the little things. To truly admire ourselves, our insignificance, and our significance.

I find it interesting that you think a working paradox is impossible to exist. I posit that anything remotely resembling an answer is impossible.

At which point you have proven yourself so smart, that teleportation, cold fusion, and a working model of a food maker that turns garbage into a steak dinner by rearranging the atoms themselves will be forthcoming from the labs you're set up with after proving that a working paradox isn't possible.

You said that our perspectives differed because human nature is flawed.

Meaning suggests destiny. We have to make our own.

Even in a world where some sort of meaning existed at the start, would everyone be happy? The religious types blatantly deny that people would all embrace and enjoy fate, since they believe all people inherently know that their god is the real one, but choose to disobey it, just for stubbornness' sake I guess. In other words, no matter the outcome, people are chaotic and stupid, and all will follow their own paths, worn and beaten by those who came before, or pioneered by themselves. Live, and let that be your meaning.

have you studied all these religions? because they usually have a common theme which there is a supreme God and the rest our minor deities and not on the same level.. so they are not all the same
>>739150237
Yeah God caused the big bang.. the first event we cant theorize or hope to measure.

by the way is the universe expanding or contracting?
>>
>>739140328
for me life is about learning and doing the fuck you want(being happy) in all senses, i dont hope for a particular "meaning" because at the end of the day i can focus on learning new shit and be happy doing stupid, normie, weird, and smart things, even if life did had a meaning besides reproduction i'm pretty sure i wouldn't give a damn and still do what i want

Ethics codes and morals are sound? Rape...murder...incest...on a massive scale...it's all bollocks

>definite answer
Asinine assertion is asinine.
>>
>>739150421
But they're gods... so there's no one and only besides what about those religions where the "supreme one" is defeated by the minor ones?

There is evidence that the Judeo Christian God is real. But you have to at least suspend both belief and unbelief to even consider it. Come at it comes perspective that if there is a God out there, surely He would leave something, even something small, that doesn't directly point to Him. Then again in the Old Testament, it didn't require blind faith in Him. He had a different system set up. Whereas in the New Testament, that's more faith based.

you're just reading it out of context, bro
>>739150504
that was a typo I actually meant "can" note the lack of apostrophe

>>739150578
you are talking about Greek paganism which is really just heresy or farytale so.... what do you want from me?
>>
>>739150596
Except you're backpedaling and wrong.
We can't measure past The Big Bang without literally traveling through time. At best we can theorize, but it's all baseless, including your assertion.
>>
>>739140328

Everything happening in your brain boils down to chemical reactions. You are nothing but a very, very, very complex set of chemicals and chemical reactions. The only difference between your brain and some vinegar reacting with baking soda is the number of chemicals reacting and what reactions are taking place.

Yes, life is meaningless.

>words without meaning
Does it make you feel special to claim a concept is feeble? It must, because that statement right there proves you are.

>>739150715
the big bang happened 14.6b years ago or whatever, no backpedaling fagget I can make a typo if I want.. I am not the one whose soul is in danger here remember that

>>739150766
You are really not a great troll, but I'm bored and drinking.

What is a soul and how do you know we have them?

>>739150686
At some point that so called fairytale was a religion, so what makes diferent yours? what guarantees you that your religion wont become another fairytale?

>>739150921
Thanks for picking it up, bro. I'll leave you to it. I'm probably just gonna crash soonish anyways. Enjoy.

>>739150921
>what is the soul?
you know how I am me and you are you? have you ever thought you were someone else? probably.. but you were always YOU, right? you've never once been me, or anyone else.. so you can be sure that you are you. That is the soul.
>>739150988
no.. at one point religion was actual fact like the guy they were writing about actually did that shit all the way back to eve they have a family tree an everything.
you get to be a little twat who calls them "farytales" and you belong on reddit

>they wrote about real shit that totally happened hundreds of years after the fact in a time period BEFORE the one where we thought leeches cured disease
Seems legit.
>>
>>739151134
So me appearing to continuously be myself is what it means to have a soul? Or is it that me being myself independent of my experience of being myself is what it means to have a soul? In the case of the latter, how could I know whether or not I was not myself independent of my experience? Or in the case of the former, it appears that having a soul is just synonymous with seeming to exist.

>a working paradox
thats an oxymoron. a paradox by definition cannot work, it reults in an endless self contradictory feedback loop, that's what makes it a paradox. when one arrives at a paradox then you know your data is flawed or incomplete.
>>
>>739150076
you think auto correct makes you seem smart, but your glaring ignorance of the subject is obvious. you have no argument, just assertions of pseudointellectual nonsense. provide a complete, sound, logical argument or shut up and let the adults converse.

As far as his post goes, he's not wrong. A paradox by definition just makes no logical sense, and for someone to go as far as to suggest what is impossible is technically (albeit uselessly) absurd.

lol you guys talking science, here is a joke.
a man walks into a bar and tells Heisenberg that he is travelling at 10 mps, and hiesenberg says thanks no I have no idea where I am at

Prove God doesn't exist. There's the problem.
You can't prove something isn't there if it isn't there, like proving a vacuum is empty. You can only prove that everything else isn't there, and therefore conclude the space is empty.
Science has done this with God convincingly. Anyone who yet believes in God is either stupid or ignorant.
