Be excellent to each other

To deliver value to our shareholders

There is no meaning of life. You're free. Do whatever you want.

There is no inherent meaning; everyone must find their own.

For me, it's to try and leave my little patch of the world better than I found it.

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women.

There isn't one.

The fact that any of us are alive at all is a cosmic fluke.

You can try to make one if you want but it'll only hold meaning to you. Isn't that good enough?

No such thing

each of us constructs our own

Leave things better than you found them.

Its whatever you want it to be.

Consume nutrients to reproduce.

Here you go. Choose wisely, or don't. Most of the options are just fine.

What does a flower or a blade of grass mean?

Whatever you want it to be! For me, it's to be my true self, do things which make me happy, and enjoy things

I think we should qualify the question. I think I'd like to hear a reason for society as a whole to exist that is reasoned and has a firm basis in logic and has no emotive or circular reference.

Because I cannot see the point of it (and I've been accused of being a pessimist, depressed and worse for expressing this opinion). So, I would really like to hear an actual reason for us all to be here.

Life itself, the propagation and continuation of it, the creation of conscious structures capable of experience, reflection and influence over their nature - and ultimately defiance against a cold and dead, seemingly endless universe.

Or, for people that like the cold universe, there's a quote I forgot who it came from: "The purpose of life is to waste the energy of the sun"

A life of meaning.

I don't think it needs one, and no idea if you mean existence of everything, or a single human life. But for my single human life my goal is to enjoy being physically embodied while I am, experience things using this body and its built-in equipment. All the things that will be impossible to do once dead, all the stuff you couldn't do before you were born. See things, move, dance, read, fuck, eat, hurt, feel everything. Think about things. Now while I am alive in a body that can do all that stuff.

The meaning of life is to find the meaning of life

To aquire money to pass down to your kids so they can use it to gain a headscarf over other kids and your family can dominate the world the world.

Or to live a good life and make meaningful connections

To expend more energy and create more chaos in the universe.

All hail the god of entropy

to help others find meaning in theirs
