Life purpose

Why does life need to have a reason, why dont you just simply think about it as a consequence of how the universe works?

Have u ever seen "True Detective"?
there is a guy with a strange concept:
Consciousness is just an error of the nature, something that shouldn't exist, and the most honorable thing humanity can do is stop reproduction: go together to the end of humanity.

If life has a purpose, so why live with the illusion of having a choice?
This lead to the second option, small black hole.

I think anti-natalism is wrong because no matter how hard you try you will never eradicate all life, and so intelligent life is likely to arise at some point somewhere in the universe, or if not in this one, certainly in some other one. We actually have no choice but to exist, and so we're better off trying to preserve life and making existence better.

The dellusion is to think there is a profound reason, a purpose, existance cant be an error, because for there to be an error there must be a plan, a mastermind behind all, and thst makes no sense, and if you are willing to believe there is a mastermind behind you might as well be willing to believe that the universe doesnt need something like that in order to exist

>>8949454

Life is a single thing. "Human life" is just an element of the set.The purpose of life is to continue living.
Life goes on by mindfully interacting with its environment(behavoir) interpreting it's environment with biosemiotics, all that jazz and then reproduction.
>involving all human minds and maybe the minds of all creatures
Interesting, despite being a total brainlet you sorta figured something out. I have always said holistic consciousness should be the moon we shoot for, we already have deep ecology. We need to find and distribute knowlege of life to do this. The last religion, religious biology.
Pic related, it's you.

>afterlife
I think the universe is permeated by some memory-less rudimentary consciousness (which is what allows for there to be consciousness at all to begin with) that we return to when we die

Combine everything, and you get singularity

Destroy everything, and you get singularity

In order to achieve a hivemind, all would have to be equal

If all were to be equal, you would have to turn to communism

The ego frowns upon communism, so therefore, the ego yearns for individuality which stifles the progression towards a hive mind.

meaning isn't inherently existent, rather it's built
"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked"

That's only a naive ego. I am an individualist and my ego includes all of life. Ego boundaries are set by knowlege. If you eat 8 grams of magic mushrooms while being immersed in ecology I guarantee you will see what I'm talking about. I actually can't tell if I am depersonalized or unified, it's weird .

Joe Rogan is that you?

Ego boundaries are set by *experience.
A special kind of knowlege. You can understand interconnectivity but you have to experience interconnectness for higher order consciousness.

Mushrooms and ecology aren't at all necessary btw. I was a deep ecologist before I knew what ecology was. Although mystically experiencing life, ego death, and disillusionment while taking drugs later in life was a big fat old redpill

>life purpose
>goal of humanity

I believe that these are two different things. Life purpose is created by the individual, and is therefore inherently subjective. The goal of humanity is dictated by a multitude of people, making it incomprehensible to any single individual.

How is this /sci/ exactly?

The sole purpose of life is to reproduce
