The point of life is to continue your blood line on so that you live on in your children, your children's children...etc etc

What makes you really think that there is a point to all of this?

I'll let you in on a little secret - there isn't one.

No matter how many gods we create, religions, philisophys, etc., etc. in the end it comes down to us not able to grasp that there is no point. We create the belief that there is something more, because the concept o,f this is all there is, is too overwhelming to contemplate.

The fact remains that the creation of the universe is still a unexplainable coincedence.

We exist. Plain and simple.

There isn't a point to life, it just is.

I suppose you could look at it that the point is whatever point you want it to have.

But I prefer the first version.

Chances are, sooner or later, the entire human race will become extinct. In which case you'll no longer be living on in your children. Which to my mind makes 'living on' in your children pretty much the same as your bloodline ending with you.

The point of life is to have fun, more fun, and even more fun. Which is what I've been saying for the last ten years, but it's amazing how few people actually get this point and start having as much fun as they can possibly get.

22-10-03, 19:23
Look at it this way.

If there is a point to life, and we are part of some master plan, whether it be given by a powerful being or the random universe; then you are not free. You are just a cog in the machine.

If there is no point to our lives, then we are truly free because we can do whatever we want as the purpose of our existence is not influenced by anything.

Now some might argue that the purpose of our existence is to procreate the species. That is the role nature gave us. While this is true, we do no necessarily need our consciousness to do such an act.

So I suppose the reason your body is here is to get it on and have children. The reason your consciousness is here is a reason you will have to make up yourself.

Actually the Earth (well our galaxy as-a whole) will be destroyed. I watched it on ethe Discovery channel about how the gravitational pull between Andromeda and the Milky Way, they had a very kewl simulation on what it would look like. Basically Andromeda will rip through the center of our galaxy and then like a yo-yo continue to pass through and back out till the 2 galaxies are basically obliterated. Heres a simple simulation of what it would look like

now of course this wont happen for at least 10 more years...well prolly like 3million.

I think all the terms from Hitch Hiker's is hilarious.. considering i d/l winfrotz the other day and started playing the good ol infocom text base version of the game. God love that story.. Douglas Adams was a genious.

The meaning of life is what you want it to be.. there is no real answer only speculation based on ones personal experience and growth.

For those that think it's to eat, shit and die i am glad i am not related.. and i think some shouldn't unlike Ulle said have children and have their bloodline extended.. :p

In regards to Phiber's post.. yes that's nature's way of saying.. okay i have l let these peons live long enough let's mess this up a lil.. nerf the bastards..

and besides in the simulation doesn't the final result look so much prettier anyways.. even though both galaxies will be one big milk shake..

This is a very serieus question so i dont know why i typed lol as a titel (i do know why: to see jebus LOL). But serieus, i have asked myself that question many times and i still didnt found a plausible answer, yust like the cavemen didnt knew it back then, i still dont know "why" at this very same moment...
I do know one thing: i been put here on this weird planet between a bunch of other people atleast as weird as i am. Until now im still not dissapointed here in this so called "life" i even enjoy myself here on this cosey little planet so i decided to make the best of it (read have the most fun in it :P) and i must say thats working pretty good till now :)
I am not religious but i respect every religion, so i dont believe in heaven or hell or anything, but i know that in india they believe in reincarnation (i dunno about it but it sounds cool) so if i gonna be reincarnated i wonna be a dolphin (dont laugh, they look sweet but are crazy hunters :P) and thats about it i can say cause now i gotta go eat like every day :)

Purpose Of Life:

Immediate Objective

To ensure that you make your life as enjoyable, and as rewarding as possible, by firstly gaining a secure employment prospect, with enough financial reward to allow you to fully enjoy your lesiure time.

Then using that finance to go places, meet people, see new horizions and fulfill your desires.

Bloodline Objective

To ensure that your offspring have a safe, secure, content and happy upbringing, in an environment, that whilst under your control, is a warm place to be. Ensure that they are loved and cared for as you wish you were as a child.

Then they too may continue on in their life as you did, and complete the circle with the knowledge you have taught them.

Utopian Objective

To create a perfect society, where everyone can work alongside everyone else, and friends have no boundaries, through neither race, colour nor creed.

That peace is the final mark, and not War, not Hate, but peace.

That's my opinion anyway.

"point" is somthing our species created, so any point to existance anybody can come up with is standing on extremely shaky ground. If there is a point to exsistance then we would have created it, and it would be ours exclusivly. (in the sence that even if we teach another species our method of communication and then tell them our points of exsistance and they "agree" then the point will only be to us and the alien species) Then there are always individual exceptions. I guess the exception is the reason there is always going to be war in one form or another. What are the names of your loved ones? Do you think my dog cares? Nooooooo!!!!!!!! Thats because even if dogs have developed the concept of "point" then because of evolutinary reasons his point of exsistance is going to differ somewhat from yours. Basicly it's all in your head any anybody who shares it with you. It dousn't exsist outside of that.

Do you agree? I think my argument is solid.

Basicly what I said is everybody has there own point of exsistance, but I handed in solid evidence to back up my case.

So ******************ers point of exsistance (what drove him to do what he did) was not "wrong". The conclusion of his point of esistance was somthing that contrasted with almost everybody elses point of exsistance. ie personal survival or to abide by there own moral desicions. (which also exsist due to evolutionary reasons)

Thats yet another peice of evidence to show how much evolution is incredibally fucking cruel. I'll add it to the fact that everything bad that can happen WILL* happen, and survival of the fitest. (which is obviously cruel)

*This is horrible and I hate saying it, but if white people hadn't enslaved black people then we wouldn't have learn't what we know today. We would have just learnt it later on by witnessing some species enslaving some other species or race and letting that run through. Even though I hate saying it I think that it is true. Everything bad we do we learn from, no matter how drastic, and so if we don't know any better we will probabally do it, eventually. It's evolution, and it's cruel.

The point of life as we know it, is to Procreate

Yep, it all comes down to having children and nurturing them into adulthood.....

Isn't it interesting that the answer to one of mankinds greatest questions, basically boils down to something as simple as getting laid?

Seezur001
22-10-03, 22:53
People always try to come up with the answer to this question, there is no answer. People look to the stars and search for answers, people look in books writen ages ago for answers, and the only ans they find is one they intrepret from someone else's views.

No one knows why we are here, we were created by a fluke of nature.

what people dont realize, there is no point in life unless Humans as a group step up and make a point. There are other planets with other "Intelligent" beings on it. But we are so closed minded as a race most dont admit it to be true.

Until all humans can work together as a group, there will be no point. Until we stop fighting each other, producing weapons ment only to kill others who threatin us, we will never be able to evolve past the point we are now.

The point in life for truly Intelligent beings is to evolve, not to continue life as it is.

"Life is the universe way of trying to figure itself out." (Old Unix fortunecookie)

personally, i'm more with Slartibartfast, the universe will be born, grown up and die, several times - and just thinking about the endless cyckles in time makes me depressed:

1. *Ka-bang* Universe is born
2. A star capable of sustaining life (Class K or lower) is born.
3. Chemicals go together under some lightning and life is created.
4. Intelligence show up: "Cogito ergo sum, lets make spaceships"
5. "What do you mean by 'the universe is shrinking'?"
6. *Schhllllurp!* Universe is crushed.
7. Goto 1

Well, wow, what a deep thread, before i waffle on about my opinion to the meaning of life etc ill point you all towards a book called the Celestine prophecies. If you havent read it its worth a read, even if you dont believe it. its the closest ive come to understanding what all "this" is about. however i remain scheptical (spelling?). Therefore my basic philosophy is this, why waste time trying to figure out what it all means when you could spend your 90 (ish) years of life having as much fun as is humanly possible? By fun i mean whatever way you choose to spend it, provided its not detrimental or harmful to others. Im not about to spout free world, peace n love bullshit but as long as im having fun and im not hurting anyone (physically or emotionally) then what am i bothered about? i doubt anyone is gonna figure it all out in my lifetime so whos to say i cant enjoy what time i do have here and surround myself with the things that make me smile the most. That to me is the meaning of my life. to find one thing to smile at each and every day.

Hmm..
Biological (Physical);
To pro-create.
To further your genetic code.


Philosophical (non-religious);
Beyond the meaning of physical life, there is the meaning of conciousness.
People wonder what is the meaning of being concious, (what is the meaning of concious life?).
Well, since almost everything the concious mind is an attempt to keep the concious mind sane, trying to rationalise the meaning of concious life is also an attempt to keep the mind sane.

This is a REALLY REALLY rough version of the theory I thought up, but basically;
The meaning of concious life, is the ponder the meaning of concious life.
Because it keeps the mind busy, sane, along with everything else we do in our structured/semi-structured lives.

Religious;
To please ones God, in the hopes to attain a level of purity in which will allow ones self to progress onto the next level of existance (be that heaven in christianity or a higher form of existance in Buddhism).
Again, the religious side of this meaning can be seen to reflect the philosophical one laid out above in some ways.


Hope that wasn't too complex :D
...Now...back to my PPU post...

23-10-03, 02:10
The simple meaning of life is, there is no meaning to life. Its like you wake up one morning, and life is there, one day, you wont wake up, and life will be gone, your life will have had no meaning in the big picture, but to those around you, who care for you, your life had meaning to them, your presence had meaning to them, and to be honest, is anything more important than that? well, except sex wiv droms :p

Wow, this thread has been suprisingly mature (so far). The meaning of life is of course getting some sweet, sweet poontang (aka making babies), but hey thats no fun (at least the baby part) so people have to make it all complicated "oh you have to pray and go to church so you can go to heaven" or "you must learn and become enlightened" etc. It's all real silly how people have to blow life out of preportion and make it some giant holy, sacred thing, when in fact life is really worthless these days. Think, theres what, 6 billion people in the world? That means you are 1 out of 6 billion ordianry, unimportant people. SOOOO, with that in mind, there's 2 choices: A) Deppresive self destruction B) Happiness. Nihilism is, or can be, a great thing, contrary to popular belief. Realize that your life really isn't much (you'll die, and then your friends/relatives/children will die, leaving no memory of your existance, and how much could you matter to a populace that knows nothing of you) and you can really enjoy it. As far as we know maybe there is a god, maybe we were made by aliens, but since we don't know at this time why bother living a life based upon silly speculation? Sure you could pray or meditate or something, or you could think for yourself and admit that you do not know whether or not any philosophy or religion is true, and forget all those opressive cults and have fun. Live fast die, young (that way you won't have to waste away working at a boring job).

One last note: religions = teh sux. Why bother VOLUNTARILYILY being oppressed, offering yourself to some mindcontrol scam. If you aren't thinking for yourself, you aren't thinking. If you aren't living for yourself, you aren't living.

edit: and fate (IMO, of course) is a bunch of BS. "Oh, well god/buddha/whatever want's me too live this way, I have a part in the "big plan" too (must be a really big plan if 6 billion people are a part of it), so I'll just sit here and rot, never bothering to change". Wow, fun. Drink, fuck, smoke, shoot up, read, sleep, write, talk, draw, learn, play, kill yourself. If it makes you happy do it, it doesn't make a difference anyway.

edit again (last time, I promise): My post in a nutshell: The reason to live is to be happy

There is a reason to life, and everyone knows it. It is sitting in the back of most peoples minds. Most just chose to ignore becouse it means sacrificing to much. So people chose that there must not be an answer becouse that is alot easier to chose. People just think nahh there isent a reason to living. Even though there is a reason to absolutly everything. How can there not be one for life. Atleast thats what i think. Dont mean to offend anyone but u did ask 4 my opinion.

Im going to help all of you out here. We are here to live, love, hate, experience. Our job is to take it all in, process it, then pass it on to those to follow, in whatever way seems most practical. For me, that means not only haveing children, but teaching what I have learned and seen, and hopefuly teaching them how to do the same, and go on to be more than I am.

Life is an experience, and you realy have to get the big picture to see that its not just about passing on your genes. Its about passing on your life. You arent just supposed to continue the spieces, you are supposed to make the spieces better. We arent just individuals, families, towns, reagions, or even the planet. We are a part of something greater, we are a part of all living things, good and bad. You can take the life you have been given, and choose to nothing with it. Perhaps that is even what you are destined for. On the other hand, you can have a profound effect bon the world, make it more than it was. Sadly, some will take the world, and make it less than it was.

I would advise that you accept life as the chalenge that it is. A chalange to take it all in, see it all, do it all. Live life without regrets. Do the things you believe in. You can never go wrong by just being a considerate person.

Your opinion would mean a little more if we knew what it was you thought that reason was. Might be obvious to you, but it sure isn't to me - I have no way of knowing what you think at either the back or front of your mind, unless you atually explain it. I know what I think I know, but I don't know what you think I know and ignore :)

That'd be zeus. Thor crushes everybody he doesn't like with an oversized hammer - it's more up close and personal and produces a satisfying crunch when it impacts.
You're basically right though. But it's best not to advertise that you know this until you're ready else before you manage to get enough worship and mana, god will throw a few lightning bolts, spread some of that weird fungus and create a volcano under your villagers, before sending in that self-replicating hero in to mop up the remains of your followers (or more recently, he'll send in a giant wolf to kick your trees around and set your sheep on fire).

My little bro took a sip some years ago while we were listening to
music and boozing in a car.. He found a can of lysol somewhere
in the backseat and decided to drink. 2 gulps and 15 seconds
later he was puking his guts out behind the car :P

The meaning of life is not 42.
The answer to the Ultimate Question is 42.
The Ultimate Question was to be calculated by Earth untill the Golgofrincians (sp?) came along and fucked it up. Then the Earth was destroyed.
The altered Ulimate Question is 'What is 6 times 9?'.

To say there is or is not a meaning of life is equally niave.
To some people, licking donuts may be the meaning of life. What if they met another who's meaning of life was to lick donuts? Would they further thier genes by producing donut licking babies? No. They would simply lick donuts, as this is thier meaning of life.

When QD said he worked out the meaning of life when he was about 15, I said 'Oh, really? Cool.'
I my head I laughing my tits of, not at the age thing, but that he thought that you could define it at all. (No offence mush)

You canot define the meaning of life, as it is different for everyone, and not every one may have one. The whole concept is misleading and centred too much one peoples self concerns, and assuptions about society and the individual. As said, saying there is no meaning of life is also silly, as some obviously do have a reason d'etre. (sp?)

I have probably, contradicted myself several times, and argued against the point I was trying to make. If I didn't, then you are either stupid, or I have failed.

P.S. WTF is lysol?

Agree With Ulle.

The purpose of life in my oppinion is to have children,pass away,your children then go on to have more Children and it goes on like this never ending cycle of life before Death as long as your children have children u wont really be forgotten u only Truly die once ure children no longer have kids.

And who knows what happens when u are dead and buried??
maybe u start the Evolution all over again?

you get Devoured by Worms>>>>>gets eaten by Bird>>>>bird has a baby = U (Because the worm carried some of your Genes)>>>>>this happens untill your back as an Human again (think about it and it makes sence) again or if something goes wrong the cycle starts up again (worm , Bird etc etc)

Thats is how i would like it to happen at least and it seems crazy enough to be beleivable?

please reply to this.

There is no meaning of life, if there where we would all be the same.. Life is pure caos and will always be. more or less living life is the power to controle this caos ,money ,power, love , hate ..ext
The harder u think about the meaning of life the more depressed you will become.. all beacause there is no meaning.. so do what feels good to your morals/ ethics, and religion and relize its most likely just as wrong as anyone else's " look at it as your own personal bs story, to describe what u really dont or never will know." dont feel bad cause everyone has there own bs story ..

I'll let you in on a little secret - there isn't one.

No matter how many gods we create, religions, philisophys, etc., etc. in the end it comes down to us not able to grasp that there is no point. We create the belief that there is something more, because the concept o,f this is all there is, is too overwhelming to contemplate.

The fact remains that the creation of the universe is still a unexplainable coincedence.

We exist. Plain and simple.

Yup there is a point to it quiete a basic one that any living thing does - reproduce and multiply :)

something use humans do rather well at :)

Make humans smarter, implant nano robots into our brains that boosts our intelligence. Then we create parasites that we send to other planets, these parasites attacks aliens and take over their brain, letting us to control them. Then we will expand in universe to take over more planets and galaxies. Take over all races, RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

that makes so much sence.... in a crazy way. i hate to say it but it does :)

but i also agree with the chaos theory, eveything is happning around you and there is not a damn thing you can do about it.
unless you are at the top, but even then. you cannot control other countries, this could go deeper but im not prepared to discuss this here

I agree with there being no point, just have as much fucking fun as you can without interrupting anyone elses fun.

I knew someone who told me quite an interesting answer to this question:

You live, and you gain experience, which you pass on to your children (or somebody elses) so they are slightly more experienced by 15 than you were, because they have some of your experience. Then they tell their kids. This continues untill one person, or maybe the whole population, have sufficient knowledge and experience, for something special to happen, quite what, i dont have a clue.

Good no? got me thinking anyway.

(1)from the religious perspective: ur here on earth to be tested. givin the freedom of choice & tempted by satan, to see if you would choose to go with those temptings, or stay with God.
(2)its a recruitment for the war between heaven & Hell

meanwhile theres many others reasons, such as to inspire others to do things, to find ur true love, etc bla bla

i kinda like what Velvet Acid Christ has one of their songs start out like:
"If there ever were such a God, he would never allow such pain & suffering..........I see people ground up in panic of this world, i see people in anguish! .......I've come to believe we're living in a great void!"

Guys no matter what you guys talk about, its not going to change our meaning or however we came to be. Lets just end this, and live life to its fullest. No matter what just be a good person and live a happy life. Life is to short to think about these things. Lets all go play some neocron and drop this. No matter what we cant change existence. Lets just go have some fun in our lives :)

The meaning of life is a infinate paradox of meaningless conclusions.

Instead of the meaning of life, let's think about more important
stuff such as the following:

Do the digits for PI ever end? And if one day it's proved rational,
will this discovery lead to the universe's secrets? (ever watch
the movie PI :) )

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Wha'ts on the other side of a blackhole? Is there an alternate
dimension through this gateway? Is there a planet of the apes
in this dimension? What would happen if a blackhole sucked in
another blackhole, would the universe collapse through two infinate
gateways or would it just increase in size.


Would time travel be possible through wormholes in space?
Steven Hawking thinks so.


Can you imagine the implications of anti-matter?

Can you imagine the implications of darkmatter as fuel?

Just a bit of things on my mind, I'm tired of life.


which brings me to post this song by eminem:




"If I Had..."

Life.. by Marshall Mathers
What is life?
Life is like a big obstacle
put in front of your optical to slow you down
And everytime you think you gotten past it
it's gonna come back around and tackle you to the damn ground
What are friends?
Friends are people that you think are your friends
But they really your enemies, with secret indentities
and disguises, to hide they true colors
So just when you think you close enough to be brothers
they wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin
What is money?
Money is what makes a man act funny
Money is the root of all evil
Money'll make them same friends come back around
swearing that they was always down
What is life?
I'm tired of life
I'm tired of backstabbing ass snakes with friendly grins
I'm tired of committing so many sins
Tired of always giving in when this bottle of Henny wins
Tired of never having any ends
Tired of having skinny friends hooked on crack and mini-thins
I'm tired of this DJ playing YOUR shit when he spins
Tired of not having a deal
Tired of having to deal with the bullshit without grabbing the steel
Tired of drowning in my sorrow
Tired of having to borrow a dollar for gas to start my Monte Carlo
I'm tired of motherfuckers spraying shit and dartin off
I'm tired of jobs startin off at five fifty an hour
then this boss wanders why I'm smartin off
I'm tired of being fired everytime I fart and cough
Tired of having to work as a gas station clerk
for this jerk breathing down my neck driving me bezerk
I'm tired of using plastic silverware
Tired of working in Building Square
Tired of not being a millionaire

But if I had a million dollars
I'd buy a damn brewery, and turn the planet into alcoholics
If I had a magic wand, I'd make the world suck my dick
without a condom on, while I'm on the john
If I had a million bucks
it wouldn't be enough, because I'd still be out
robbing armored trucks
If I had one wish
I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss

I'm tired of being white trash, broke and always poor
Tired of taking pop bottles back to the party store
I'm tired of not having a phone
Tired of not having a home to have one in if I did have it on
Tired of not driving a BM
Tired of not working at GM, tired of wanting to be him
Tired of not sleeping without a Tylenol PM
Tired of not performing in a packed coliseum
Tired of not being on tour
Tired of fucking the same blonde whore after work
in the back of a Contour
I'm tired of faking knots with a stack of ones
Having a lack of funds and resorting back to guns
Tired of being stared at
I'm tired of wearing the same damn Nike Air hat
Tired of stepping in clubs wearing the same pair of Lugz
Tired of people saying they're tired of hearing me rap about drugs
Tired of other rappers who ain't bringin half the skill as me
saying they wasn't feeling me on "Nobody's As Ill As Me"
I'm tired of radio stations telling fibs
Tired of J-L-B saying "Where Hip-Hop Lives"

But if I had a million dollars
I'd buy a damn brewery, and turn the planet into alcoholics
If I had a magic wand, I'd make the world suck my dick
without a condom on, while I'm on the john
If I had a million bucks
it wouldn't be enough, because I'd still be out
robbing armored trucks
If I had one wish
I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss

You know what I'm saying?
I'm tired of all of this bullshit
Telling me to be positive
How'm I 'sposed to be positive when I don't see shit positive?
Know what I'm sayin?
I rap about shit around me, shit I see
Know what I'm sayin? Right now I'm tired of everything
Tired of all this player hating that's going on in my own city
Can't get no airplay, you know what I'm sayin?
But ey, it's cool though, you know what I'm sayin?
Just fed up
That's my word



Life is what you make it, not what others have made it out to be.

Do whatever makes you happy and you'll never fail at "life". That's
what it ultimately comes down to. If other's don't appreciate what
you do to be happy in life, then they are unhappy with theirs.

Pleasant dreams.
