What is the meaning of life?

What is the meaning of life?

[Shpaget]

Why do you think there is, or should be any?

[IncongruousGoat]

Meaning is what we make it to be.

To this end, I declare that the meaning of life is to A: bake pie, and B: go into SPACE.

[cubinator]

We are the stars, and the consciousness of the universe. Somehow, consciousness is a property of the universe, and each of us is a part of that consciousness. Through us, the stars know of themselves. Whether there's any meaning to that I don't know, but it's a pretty darn cool fact and I think life is worth protecting for that.

[razark]

The error in the question is assuming that there is any meaning to life.

[kerbiloid]

The thermodynamic conservation of enthropic systems. Just it.

Life is an ablator of the universe.

Or if you mean not purpose, but technical realization, then it's a self-reproducing cyclic thermodynamic process accumulating the information (in the thermodynamic sense).

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

Some may call it silly, but it actually answers the question (in many different ways).

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

The tribute to it:

- "Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper."

But what if the man prefers more exquisite pleasures, like art, science, philosophy?

Why do you assume that these things are mutually exclusive?
