Life isn't some sort of huge mystery. It is an enduring state of being. How you spend your time during that state, is entirely optional and limited by the local and foreign environment (you v. them). There is no divine purpose, and ultimately no real goal in it. You will die, you will be forgotten, and will largely go unnoticed in the universe though you will be recycled by it.

There's no purpose we create one for ourselves.

Well put.

to level up

The fact that it's possible for us to contemplate the purpose of life escapes most people.

Interactions that occur more slowly than a lifetime (glacier movement) or more quickly than the blink of an eye (interactions between individual protons)
Things we've never experienced before
What other people and animals are thinking and feeling
Impossible things that cannot possibly exist (fiction books, movies, games, etc.)
The concept of infinity

The human imagination is ridiculously powerful.

There is no one ultimate purpose. Life is just a ride. If you look for meaning behind it, it'll only distract you from the beauty. The search for meaning is just the mind trying to control and conceptualize that which cannot be grasped. It's ridiculous to think that a little blob of jelly within the space of our heads could grasp the ultimate significance of life, the universe, and everything. But when you stop trying to grasp life, its beauty becomes obvious. It doesn't need to be explained.

Think about a time when you look from the top of a mountain and are in absolute, speechless awe for just a few seconds. But then the mind comes in and begins grasping at the scene, trying to discern what makes the moment so beautiful - "If only I could figure out what makes this so beautiful, I would know how to make every moment this beautiful". But as soon as the mind comes in and grasps at the moment, the moment loses all of its beauty, and suddenly the speechless awe has disappeared. Trying to conceptualize and grasp life just leads to less absolute understanding. The only way to truly know life is to be life.

The more that I learn, the more I realize how little I actually know. The search for meaning is futile - the more you search, the less you find. Searching will only result in the mind becoming frustrated and declaring that life is meaningless, nihilistic, etc. But that's just another extreme along with "X is the meaning of life" (X being religion, work, love, etc.). The truth is that life is both meaningful, meaningless, and neither, all at the same time, depending on which perspective you view it from. So don't try to find an ultimate meaning, but also don't conclude that life is meaningless. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Im not entirely clear on the overall purpose of life, but what the author talks about in this chapter is pretty awe-inspiring to say the least:

Hello two years ago, do I still need to explain it?

The human race would still exist without this philosophy and we may be huge in the actual scheme of things.. Or not. We can steer what the human race does, and possibly find meaning.

I think the purpose of life is to have kids that will beat up mikeydoes's kids

maybe. I was probably thinking philosophically along the lines of "Given enough time, anything can and will happen at some point" so if that's true the birth of a God like existence will happen

and it's tough for me to remember things I post yesterday so I have no idea

If y'all were girls would you be lesbians? Or crave hella dick because heterosexual intercourse is fuckin beautiful

Did you ever have the thought that what we think of as a godlike entity is merely mediocre by the standards of a much more advanced race than our own?
