Searching for Meaning: The Point of Life

[Pythagorean]

Nihilism is the answer. Embrace subjective purpose; destroy objective purpose and empty value systems (but not violently please, I don't want my babies getting hurt).

Eat, have children, and be eaten. I was 5 when the Salk vaccine came out and at that time, his name was a household word. I don't know how widespread the knowledge of his name is now, but it is unlikely that I will forget it.

Yes, children are delicious! Wait, what?

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

Yes, children are delicious!

They never seem to agree with me.

Maybe life is really just an illusion.

But goddamn, it had me fooled.

In that case, you didn't pay for it.

I flirted with Solipsism for a while as a teenager, but then I realized that I would have no one to talk to if it was right.

That's funny. I don't think being a solipsist has any impact. I'm not a solipsist and I'm usually right, but I have no one to talk to anyway.

EDIT: That joke is actually pretty good if you take the time to understand it.

Everyone is a solipsist, aren't they?

 

[Pythagorean]

How could you believe that if you were a solipsist?

Everyone is a figment of my imagination aren't they?

I know that I am; I can't speak for anyone else.

i live in the desert with few distractions so i have enough patients to wait and see our purpose in life if we have one.

So how are your patients doing these days? Well, I hope!

No hurry getting back to me, as I've a healthy dose of patience, and waiting is no problem.

There is no god. There is no higher purpose. Stop worrying and enjoy life.
