not OSP (Original Shit Poster) but I think he's referencing the absurdity of these purposes in light of the certainty of death.

The best way to live is for this moment right now. I'm lulling pretty hard right now so I really have nothing else to think about. No regrets. Nihilism is a disease of foresight. It's just looking way too far ahead.

Not OP either but I completely agree.

I think what is truly important is not that we ourselves our mortal, it's that the universe and time itself will too cease to exist.

First, I want to argue that 'meaning' is incomplete without the subsequent, 'to me' or to whomever it is held. This makes me presuppose OP is speaking of his own relation with meaning.
Second, I want to add that when you are dead, there is none to carry a sense of meaning. It's a way of recycling the point that there is no logic in worrying about death because first you are alive and so death is not there, and when death has come there is nobody subject to experience it. Likewise as with worrying about death being absurd, worrying about the death of meaning is too, because meaning is reserved for the living.
With these two fundamentals in mind, I want to allude to the fact that a perceived lack of meaning bothers OP. This means, by the very fact that he is buttflustered, that there is meaning - meaning, acute and powerful enough to frustrate. Therefore, the answer is self-generated: use your perceived meaningfulness in meaning to induce its genesis.

A lack of meaning means that there is meaning. This is just circular logic.

If you had no sense of meaning, you would be apathic about not knowing meaning. If you find some element of meaningfulness in meaning--that is, it matters to have meaning--then it follows that there is after all meaning. This is not circular logic.

The meaning of life is to consume and expand (not in some edgy Michael Gira way, just biology). Our destiny is to colonize Mars, terraform it, and then get started on ruining that environment.

>cont. of >>6111684
It is only a confused attempt at rationalising that concludes there is no meaning. Recognise here that just uttering the phrase, "There is no meaning" does not predicate that there is no meaning. Meaning is investigated by sensing what matters, not by deducing from objective premises because the concept of meaning is incomplete unless you finish the sentence, "meaning to X" which is necessarily subjective.

Complaining that there is no purpose is like complaining that there is no God because both are made up by humans in the first place.

Why is that something to be sad about? Yea, there's no point, but for an individual pleasure and creativity and enjoyment of what's good in life should be an end in itself. Use this knowledge to shrug off the bad shit that happens in your probably no so bad existence, and create something you think is beautiful.
