What field would ever explain the meaning or existence if there is one?

You'd want to just tackle them all, everything.
Specifically physics.

>> No.11467967

All of them. It all fits together. Biology tells your prime directive is to reproduce, physics tells you not to jump off a building, psychology tells you the better way to think and so on.

I have a pretty firm belief that there is no real meaning, and that "life" is just the universe trying to find a way to stop the eventuality of absolute entropy.

Interestingly enough there is not a single religion that explains why the fuck we are here.

All of them have stories how we came to be, but none of them why.

How is any of what you wrote even close to being a meaning?

soientists are too smart to believe in christianity. all that stuff in the 10 commandments about not lying, not stealing, not murdering and not being envious really pisses off the academic community, so they invented their own set of superstitions.

biological process are extremely efficient at increasing entropy though. it's likely that life in general is really just an optimal way to increase entropy and therefore pretty much guaranteed to happen whenever conditions allow for it to happen.

>meaning of existence
The unhappy truth is that there isn't a meaning to existence.

Humans NEED something to believe in though, which is why for eons we've created and followed religions and mythos. The death of Religion has caused mankind to collectively go crazy. Some people like to try and replace religion with science (OMG I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE), or they follow crazy fucked up new age religions that combine (psuedo)science with faith like Scientology or whatever their cult-of-choice is.

The truth is that there is no meaning to existence and life is essentially random. The upshot is that life is whatever you make it. There isn't a point, so you can make your life and being about whatever you feel is important to you.

The standard model is incomplete and has a missing particle called the moral boson. It mediates right and wrong in the universe. Without it our ethical ideas would just be worthless human opinions.
