Survive and procreate.
That is the objective meaning of life for all living organisms.
If you fail to reproduce, you are an organismal failure.

We already know.

There is no meaning of life

I have hear theories that suggest that life is the universe trying to contemplate itself but that would imply the universe in sentient, which doesn't seem likely. In reality, there is no meaning to life and questions such as these only distract us from the true meaning, or lack thereof but this isn't to say you can't create your own self imposed meaning.

there's no point in life

Biology says that the meaning of life is to reproduce and pass on your genes. While our extraordinary intelligence makes out the meaning of life to be dedication to knowledge and learning.

Yet life is too long to dedicate only to reproduction, and too short to dedicate to knowledge.

it's all so empty.

This, everything outside of God is mere human vanity, a fleeting joy that ends in death. That is, unless you believe in him, then you can center your life on God and have lasting meaning.

"How can you die not having experienced ____" becomes a meaningless argument once you believe in Christ because there is an afterlife... Christ puts human vanity in check, he is the answer to nihilism and hedonism.

Having someone else pay for my meals, and collecting a check from the government every month even though there's nothing wrong with me. I can't help it if I'm lazy as fuck.

pain

To LARP as hard as I can.

...

Yup

to your life

>Yet life is too long to dedicate only to reproduction, and too short to dedicate to knowledge.

both of these statements are untrue

kek

better than nothing

why do we have to reproduce if this only leads to more reproduction?

To be happy.

I'll only be happy if I can live in a pure white ethnostate governed by traditional values though.

8 y/o's confirmed woke af

because our brain chemicals tell us to.

This post signifies Christian selfishness in a nutshell. All you want is to be immortal. Nevermind the fact that religion from a logical point of view is laughable. Nevermind the fact that religion has been proven wrong time and again by science for centuries. You still have to cling to your ancient fairy tales because you're so desperate to live forever

>Christ puts human vanity in check, he is the answer to nihilism and hedonism.

Religion is the opiate of the masses. Not everybody partakes in hedonism in the same way. Religious people are some of the most selfish people to ever exist on this planet, despite their selfless values.

You live for yourself and your passage to heaven only. Whether you donate to charity or help out at Church, everything you do is ultimately for yourself. There's no merit in such an existence.

>both of these statements are untrue

They are especially true. Early humans used to reproduce at such young ages because of biology. You are born, fuck and die. Nowadays you are born, fuck, but still have ample of time to live the rest of your life before you die. Meanwhile the knowledge humanity has accumulated is so vast that nobody can ever hope to learn everything in a certain field in their lifetimes.

I am a STEM student and it seems like the more I learn, the more I realize how little I know and how there is still much left to learn. It's quite perplexing, I didn't even feel this way when I was much ignorant.

The main thing you have to do in life is get saved, because after you die you will either go to Heaven or Hell. So you better make sure you have that sorted out as soon as possible.

Why? He was of Semitic blood.

Sounds like a selfish existence to me.
"I'm going to live morally just so I'm not personally punished."
Living forever doesn't give meaning to life.

To survive, produce offspring and further progress and expand our power,

>the fact that religion has been proven wrong time and again by science for centuries

Excuse me what?

Big fucking surprise, a leaf

you need to find out what makes you happy and spend your brainpower focused on that, rather than trying everything at the same time. you can also have room for raising kids this way.

It's a "leaf has never looked at the bible" thread

just something you do while you're waiting to die. now your next question will be, "how do I find meaning in a seemingly meaningless world?" figure that out for yourself fuckface

shit thread too. I wish all you adolescent nihilist faggots would just fuck off already with your pseudo intellectual tripe about mortality

I believe life is about experiencing it. Finding your own meaning and doing what you enjoy most. Creating memories for when you're unable to make more.

...

Living a life that was meaningful to you

If you're gonna sit there and judge people for being afraid of God, you don't know God.

>what's the point of life?
Depends. Are you white?
If yes, have a bunch of kids with a white woman.
If you are anything other than white?
I think you know that life has no meaning. You should probably off yourself.

as cliche as it sounds, it's about finding happiness for me. I'm mildly depressed, and satisfied with where I am in life. But by no means am I really happy

My life has no meaning

I exist, but I do not live

Hedonism is the highest good

there is no meaning

>people died young in the past
The only reason life expectancy was so low in the past was due the extremely high infant and juvenile mortality rates.

Here yah go OP

Person who painted that said she had a vision or something.

To leave behind something to be remembered by, whether it be children who love you, an invention that progresses civilization at least a little bit, or a master work of art. In my opinion, if you do not immortalize yourself in some positive form, your life has been for nothing.

"Life can be either a daring adventure or nothing." - Helen Keller

>Survive and procreate.
This, except Capitalism has creating an excess which has caused survival to become super easy and almost autonomous. Since survival is no longer an issue, the current point of life is minimize pain while maximizing pleasure.

It's all there is as far as I know. I could find out more but I'm not ready for such knowledge.

life is movement
life is love
life is pleasure (and avoiding discomfort, thus alcohol and opioids are bad solutions)
life is whatever you do since you born (no wonder, our lives mean different things)

>9/23/17

there isn't one

go make your own, and don't let it fly in the face on you instinctual drives as that's pointless and a waste of effort

Mind explaining to me what I am missing? So everything you do isn't solely for the fact that you want to go to heaven? I'd be really surprised otherwise. Each human living for his own, helping others for his own good, pretty ugly way of life.

Being happy is an emotional state, just like being sad, the only difference is the hormones being secreted. Seeking cognitive fulfillment really has little to do with emotion.

As I said before, life is too long to dedicate only to reproduction, and too short to dedicate only to knowledge. Probably would've been in a better state of mind by either being any dumb animal or an intelligent superhuman capable of living hundreds of years, that would be nice. Middle ground sucks tbqh.

Will you kys on 10/23 if nothing happens?

...

It's actually a completely natural way of life tbqh senpai. It's just that religion fags are delusional enough to think that they can be immortal if they pray hard enough

How bad is it if I feel as if this manga page sums up my life and how i feel about life?

The meaning of life is: schnitzel!

No, he'd kill himself on 9/24 because he's not some eurocuck that abolished the imperial measurement system

It's not about living forever, it's about living with meaning.

If there is continuity to our actions (through Christ) then there is meaning to life, we're no longer acting as sisyphus, who rolls up a boulder only to see it fall back down again.

Because our deeds will reflect and echo in eternity, life now has meaning in the context of Christ. There is no longer that empty void where we all dissappear into with all our deeds and misdeeds... there is actual continuity, actual accountability.

Read Ecclestiastes, its a few short pages about a man who has pretty much achieved the heights of human excellence...but even then, his life was meaningless because he still desired, but when he centered his life on God, that is when he found meaning because he was no longer 'chasing after the wind' as his human wants pointed him towards.

The wind can never be caught, human desires are infinite, so don't expect to find fulfillment from within, fulfillment lies in God and God alone. For God created man to be with him.

>Seeking cognitive fulfillment really has little to do with emotion.

that depends on what you get "cognitive fulfillment" from. which is why i said "what makes you happy" if you would rather be sad or mad or stoic then go for it.

>Probably would've been in a better state of mind by either being any dumb animal or an intelligent superhuman capable of living hundreds of years, that would be nice. Middle ground sucks tbqh.

welcome to reality, nobody is perfect. it seems like you are obsessed with "intelligence" so you should probably use your stem degree to work on developing ai.

ashknazi's call themselves semites. He could have literally been any race under the empire

>It's not about living forever, it's about living with meaning.
Look who doesn't have enough shekkls to pay for his cryogenic chamber. Poor thing.

To not make mistakes my father did

Survive and procreate. But now that civilization has made survival immensely easy, now it's to minimize pain, maximize pleasure, and procreate.

>Survive and procreate.
>Survive and procreate.
That's for animals you silly burgers.

To suffer and struggle and wonder why until we figure ourselves out. Or don't.

There isnt any

We are just here for the sake of being here, try to make the most of it.

Imagine you have an ant farm in your room, is there any great purpose for each of them?
You might as well be their god, do you expect anything out of them other than for them to be there and to be the best ants they can be?

Just enjoy it the best you can, remember at the end of the day all we really have is each other. Even god wont show his face in our darkest hour, but other people will.

In a nutshell...

The meaning of life is that which the world has roughly forged me to do, with my own participation, so that I may maximally fulfill myself by satisfying its needs, as sacrificing either for the other's sake (as in collectivism and individualism) typically leads to mutual dysfunction. Since the separation between the individual and the world is a useful illusion, occasional (apparent) sacrifices may be necessary to satisfy a greater teleology, traditionally understood as the Will of God, a synthesis of individuals' and society's highest values and aspirations, so defined by their potential to motivate the satisfaction of fundamental human needs, bringing about the Kingdom of Heaven.

Eat, sleep, rave, repeat

People who are adrift and nihilistic are the most susceptible to political extremist utopian ideologies like national socialism and communism, this explains Sup Forums

So far, in 25 years, life has been nothing but playing vidya and wacking off.

I don't expect the rest of my life to be much different.

And people who do what they are told and never question anything are susceptible to the exact same shit for completely different reasons.

There is no right way to be faggot.

Attain enlightenment before death, and live the perfect life.

To live as long as you possibly can.

The purpose is to create the most capable organism through trial and error.

The strong survive and the weak die, generation by generation until the organism become too smart for its own good and dies off.

It actually makes sense, entropy is the best way to put it. We are in a constant state of non equilibrium, we create disorder to allow energy to flow.

Tree make oxygen and consume co2, we make co2 and consume oxygen. Our purpose is to keep the ΔG negative which keep things moving.

We're basically a giant battery

Whackin off part seems accurate for me too.

At least I learn other things though.

It's not about that, it's about having a firm spiritual foundation

The meaning of life is that there is no meaning. All life will end. This is an absolute. Entropy must continue until it cannot.

If you think life has some meaning, do you think that meaning will still hold value in 10 million years? 100 million? 1 billion?

We are less than nothing on the scale of the universe. Much less than nothing.

The truth is eternal

>We are less than nothing on the scale of the universe. Much less than nothing.

No we are literally God

People believe whatever they want, just because people are nihilistic it doesn't mean they don't believe anything. Otherwise they wouldn't be nihilistic.

What's most important is coming to peace with what you see as reality and finding ways to make the best of what you can.

Just because the ant's have no purpose doesn't mean they can't still act like ants and make their owner proud.

...

>Entropy must continue until it cannot.
Explain how entropy can suffer from entropy.

Explain anything that happens anywhere faggot, you know nothing. No one does or this thread wouldn't exist.

42 - whatever you want it to be, user

There is none, and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves

but that's okay because nothing matters, heyooooooo

The same as the meaning of a flower.

to find things that have meaning and mean well with them

Dude, stop watching those edgy youtube videos, seriously. They do more harm than good.

...

...

My post is only as negative as you think it is.

Sounds like you got some problems to deal with user.

You come so close but wrong conclusion. The motion you describe is the meaning. the imbalance is the path put in front of us. there is no one answer. If you have an imbalance in your life, rectify it. an abundance, help others balance theirs out! it always puts itself right in front of you.

You must be 18 or older to post here

Your opinion is about as relevant as your flag :^)

shitpoastin' is life

if it weren't for shitpoastin' I wouldn't have any friends at all

Well, that stems from what you are. And that's an animal. You have instincts that are all geared to procreation and your instincts will bug you the least if you reproduce successfully. People who get lost in hedonism overdo their dopamine so they're fucked up and miserable in the longterm.
Now, you want to procreate but you also want the kids to be successful. Now you get into stats to see what you should do in order to achieve that. Having a traditional wife who didn't sleep around is a good start. Making sure she's of the same ethnicity as you (I'm not talking race, ethnicity means if you're German you stick it into a German qt, not a Russian or a Spaniard chick) so you don't get outbreeding depression (look it up). Also, while you'll get the best chances at a successful marriage if you shack it up with a sheboon, the kid will be half black and therefor idiotic and what's the point of having one? Also, you'll find out that personality traits are more genetically inherited than they are learned so you want a woman who's a nice person, intelligent and successful cause that's what you want your kids to be.
Now you might think, my instincts also want me to have grandkids one day, so you want to make sure your kids reproduce successfully.

At this point you'll be anti faggotry, anti feminist and racist cause you don't want your kids to have the homosex, empowered womynism or black dick shoved into them. You might look into how society used to be geared to enable as many people as possible to reproduce successfully but it isn't anymore and why is that? At this point you'll also become an antisemite.
After that you look into economy and government styles and you conclude that the closest to perfection, even if you base it on pure results alone and do no thinking on why, how or is it fair or not, was Germany in the 30s.

tl;dr you'll be happiest if you're a legit nazi
