Meaning is an emergent property of intelligence. It does not exist.

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

This thread. Prove me wrong.

There is no end, so no mean(s)(ing)

Yeeeeeahhhh niggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......!

To eat the robitussin.

Searching for an absolute meaning to life is unnecessarily tedious. Why would such an end exist is an infinite universe, both in terms of time and of space. As carbon life forms, self-conscious extensions of the universe, we are free to make whatever notion our means to an end. As with the infinite magnitude of the universe, our potential is infinite.

The meaning of life is right now.

life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?

It's an inaccurately phrased question which doesn't have an answer. What is the meaning of apples?

Better to ask how to become happy.

>What is the meaning of apples?

To be thrown at enormous vermin.

Life is without meaning, people just like to believe it does.

The meaning of life is nihilism.

The problem is that you see meaning at all, in anything. That it is a story. That it must begin somewhere and end somewhen. You have this paradigm, and you compare things, your life, events etc. against it. They don't match the paradigm, they don't mean anything - to you. It's like hearing a different language, or a bird song, or a rumble of falling rock. You can try and think and observe these things to see what they 'may' mean, but what you will be doing in these cases is trying to expand your paradigm to include these events, not uncovering 'meaning' (e.g. that person was bargaining for a rug, that bird was expressing his happiness, there must have been an animal on the hill that caused the small landslide..., etc.)

You made all that up. Or rather not you in isolation, but the culture and language you were born in has these misconceptions way down deep in its logic.

The 'world' does not 'mean'. 'Mean' in relation to what paradigm?

The fact that you find meaning in the world says nothing about the world, only about you. The fact that you think there should be meaning (but you are worried there may not be) STILL says nothing about the world (it never could) -

But it does show that you are full of shit, there is meaning in your life, and you are just an ignorant self-mind-fucked sorry bastard.
