I used to believe it was to unite the human race under a scientifically led institution with aims of expansion, utilitarianism and convenience (something my dad mockingly referred to my belief as being an ant).

However something completely personal and humanely eye opening occurred and led me to believe that I am here to learn my destiny while educating and slightly uplifting those I come in contact with.

Sometimes I still dream of a terran utopia though.

Would it be meaningful for life to have a meaning? And, if yes, would that be meaningful? And so on.
Yet, this spiral of meanings would not be meaningful, because it is infinite.
Hence, there is no meaning of life.

"Meaning of life" is one of those things--like "true love"--that our culture obsesses about only because they're told to by books, movies, TV, and magazines.

If the media had never mentioned "the meaning of life", ever, absolutely nobody would care to think about it. It would be completely immaterial.

>> No.5859258

Why is life worth living? It's a very good question. Well, There are certain things I guess that make it worthwhile like... For me, uh... I would say... what, Groucho Marx, to name one thing... and Wilie Mays... and... the 2nd movement of the Jupiter Symphony... and Louis Armstrong's recording of Potato Head Blues... Swedish movies, naturally... Sentimental Education by Flaubert. Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra... those incredible Apples and Pears by Cezanne... the crabs at Sam Wo's...

The meaning of life is to fucking live to our full potential as humans. Make art, make love, make war, make poetry, be emotional, think rationally, run and jump and push and pull things. Do all the things we as humans are built and wired to do.

To climb, to climb as high as you can, to kick those climbing beneath you and drag down those above you, to reach the summit and throw those already there to their dooms, kings from their thrones, scholars from their ivory towers, to take my place at the peak and crush those trying to do what I once did, to reign.

Such thing as the "meaning of life" is impossible, because even if there was one, its very existence would contradict itself, because a meaning needs to have something to be based on, something concrete and self-sufficient, logically speaking. For instance, suppose we were created by more advanced life forms that created as an experiment, so the "meaning of our lives" would be to keep advancing as a species in order to give the more advanced beings the feedback they expect. That, in itself, would be the meaning of our lives, but what is it based on? What is the meaning of their experiment? This logic could be used with any kind of meaning, for there is no meaning that can sustain itself without needing something above it. Meaning is just something abstracted by humans, anyway, the concept itself doesn't have any credit to it. Don't ask me what to do with the thing we call life, though, I wouldn't know.

Sure, meaning isn't grounded by the mind of God, but that doesn't mean there's no meaning. You're reading these words, aren't you? What are they meaningful in virtue of? Their relationship with a language/culture. Meaning is intersubjective.
