>Many wise men from various traditions have written extensively about it, are you wiser than them? Have you lived more? Experienced more?
Bit of a strawman, no?
>The answer is that there is a higher goal if you open your intellectual intuition to it.
"Justify your answer."
>...
A whole lot of contrarian and relativistic arguments with no point
>Just because you cannot find it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You seem to willfully close your experience off to certain possibilites.
Please enlighten me as to what this possibility may be then? If you cannot, and it is indescribable, then it is very much useless to try and claim it as the truth. How can something so objective as to be labelled the ultimate truth not even able to be conveyed and taught? Insisting on otherwise is just you perpetuating an unfalsifiable claim, which is borderline delusional.

>What do you have to lose?
Nothing, I very much am open to new and fun shit, I just disagree with some nonsensical and unfalsifiable vague claim being labelled as the truth.
>Seeking to experience what might exist beyond mere physical existence is fun and interesting
Does sound like it. Any resources on it and how to try it?

>Why not go for something more profound?
And what is that thing? I have yet to find something that adequately and sufficiently fulfils this supposed meaning of life, and so until then, I will not claim that there is anything beyond the absurd. I'm open to convincing and reasonable arguments, just not to pure faith.
>Obviously you're not content.
I am more content with this state of mind than with anything else I have ever come across.

Insufficient for what?

Infinite Jest is the single worst attempt at a novel ever published.
