When its all gonna be over someday anyways..

Dinosaurs couldn't serve any purpose did they? Can't see humans doing anything either when the entire human history is full of greed, competition, wars and violence where no one has infinitely won till this day.

Why do we need a purpose?

Because then there's no point in living? The people enjoying life more often than not have purpose. Those people that are rotting are more often than no have no purpose.

Imagine if you had no purpose. Your job would suck. Your life would be boring. You'd probably have no wife or kids.


Dan has nearly everything. But does he have a purpose? Is he happy?

To move in time?

The purpose of humans is to invent AI.

There really is no purpose, but I think the beauty of it is you can create your own purpose in numerous ways. Be a politician, fire fighter, join the peace corps, etc.

I am quite happy existing, and being a decent person without having any purpose.

There is really no way, aside from any religious leanings that anyone could possibly know exactly what the point of life is.


I am happy right now and happy to go hard till the day I die.

Edit: I suppose that you can decide what your own meaning is, for yourself. But it will not be the same for everyone. And lol if you think you can tell others what the point its. I'm not going to pretend that I know the meaning of life, because I know there is no way to know that.

Its how I act regardless of some fairy tale meaning that I created that is important.

To create an AI species that surpasses us.

If just being happy and existing is what you want to do, then that is your purpose. Aren't you a country breh that hunts/go fishing, etc. Those are all your purposes. Anything that peaks your interest can be a purpose imo.

Those are things that I like doing, that drive me.

I view the purpose of life as some overarching theme that everyone aspires to, and therefore dont believe there is one.


Does your definition of the meaning of life need to be the same for everyone, or is it different for each person?

If its overarching and there is only one meaning, that suggests it is set by some higher power.

If it is individual it seems more like we are our own higher power.


In my opinion of course! lol

I am agnostic about just about everything. I really dont know, and am cool with it!

to hate life and then die

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
