Are these audio recordings archived for all time also?

It's weird to think we're all contributing to history right now. LondonFrog is writing a form of literature that will be studied by meme historians of the future.

There are many reasons.
To acquire knowledge, clarify one's thinking on a subject, have enjoyable aesthetic experiences, diversify your vocabulary, gain a deeper understanding into the subjective experiences of others, obtain insight from past eras, and generally become less of a brainlet, to name just a few.

The original 4chan code was lifted from a Japanese board so it seems accomplishable. I suggest someone less retarded that myself who knows how to build things take the reigns or point me in the right direction

To live meaningfully.

Experiencing positive emotions, appreciating one's friends and family, cultivating useful skills, contributing to something larger than yourself, and accomplishing your goals are all meaningful things in and of themselves.

Even with the eventual heat death of the universe it will forever remain true that human beings lived, fell in and out of love, and ate ice cream sandwiches.

Live meaningfully.

Most people waste their lives in some regard. Spending it in contemplation is better than working at McDonalds and watching Netflix.

If the meaning of life is to be fulfilled what's your big idea on how to go about achieving that? Travel? Drugs? Sex? Falling in love? You may as well study philosophy if it's what you love, it doesn't preclude you from doing other things you would deem meaningful, like the aforementioned.
