Purpose of Life

What is the purpose of life, in your view?

I suppose this is a philosophical question so IQfy would be the right board for it.

    to abide by the role and strengths that god gave you, even if you don't like them. And, that role by itself should have a positive contribution to society. So, maybe the real purpose is to contribute something to the society you're living in. However, if you do hate your society, then it's very hard to really contribute to a society you dislike, thus hard to find any purpose in this life, which I believe the majority's feeling nowadays.

        Self evident: things and life exist. This was enough for every people that ever existed to worship God in the ways they found best. Its part of human nature as breathing and eating.
        Only nowadays there are so many people in rebellion against common sense. Brainwashing people to ignore their natural reasoning takes a lot of propaganda. Then turns their brains to irrational mythological thinking, with beliefs like primordial soup and so on.
        A straw hut man in the middle of Amazon has more common sense than any atheist.

          >Self evident
          Nah, every truth must have evidence, in my view, so nothing is self-evident.

          E.g. the evidence for "1 + 1 = 2" is that when you put two things together, there is now a pair of things - it's not like a third thing pops into existence to make 3 things.

          >This was enough for every people that ever existed to worship God in the ways they found best. Its part of human nature as breathing and eating.
          Nah. Humans used to believe in witchcraft, and the four humours, etc. And also humans used to believe in Zeus, Odin, etc. Do you believe in those? Presumably not. Beliefs get deprecated. And I think Christianity is becoming deprecated.

          >common sense
          Literally not an argument. I can just say my position is common sense. It doesn't provide any evidence or reasoning, does it?

          >A straw hut man in the middle of Amazon has more common sense than any atheist.

            You had no reason to do that. Muh rationality is not an argument for doing pleasurable things. Atheists think they are somehow free and yet they are the least capable of putting reason over their pleasures.

            he's saying that atheists present themselves as enlightened and "awaken", followers of reason and evidence, like Spock from StarTrek. But in reality they are unhealthy (i.e. burgers), ugly (i.e. piercings, tattoos, dyed hair, etc), and degenerate (i.e. anti-natalists, homos, trannies, etc). Their worldview does not match reality. Pure reason would lead to progress, beauty, health, stability, and strength, not degeneracy, ugliness, hedonism, disease, and weakness.

            Health and evolution/life are some of the centre-pieces of secular morality, but ultimately atheist societies increasingly choose pleasure over either of those.

            He can't actually argue against a point, but he does have a large armory of stock ad hominems that he can use against specific ideologies. Thus, anything that doesn't fit into a specific ideology has to be pigeonholed into one so that he can deploy his stock arguments against that ideology. So, yes, he is actually implying that if you disagree with him, you HAVE to be a vegan and gay, because otherwise he can't use his stock ad hominems against you.

            Never called a sexuality a mental disoreder. They lack drive to reproduce, though. Invalidating your point.

            Homosexuals ABSOLUTELY have a drive to reproduce, they just do it memetically. It's why they brag about tricking Elon Musk's kid into being a troony. It's the same thing as Christians believing that sex is bad, but conversion is good: they're reproducing, it's just memetically.

            Correct. The point of a commercial is to spread a meme to new hosts. The fact that the meme is "you will be happy if you buy this product" is irrelevant. The meme has thus reproduced.

            >I have a drive to reproduce but I don't actually want to reproduce, I want people to think the way I think
            that's not a drive to reproduce. reproduction means passing on your blood, your genes to your offspring.
            Christians aren't reproducing when they convert people. They're increasing the number of christians , but a christian only reproduces when he creates a new human life through sexual intercourse.

            Reproduction is making more of something; the gay is making more gays. It does this by taking a normal person and damaging them in a specific manner. This results in a gay. Specifically, they are spreading a meme that, when accepted into a mind, causes a cascade that results in other changes ("sucking dick" results in "speaking in a certain manner (gay-voice)").

            By your logic, having sex and making a baby isn't reproduction, as all you're doing is rearranging matter. Genetic reproduction is taking matter, and making a copy. Memetic reproduction is taking matter, and making a copy. The genes are in the new person, the memes are in a new person. If atoms, molecules, proteins, cells, tissues can be the matter, why can't an existing human? Where do you draw the line? Hell, how can you draw the line between a person and genes anyways, given that they're both "just atoms"?

            The only real difference is whether you are interested in spreading genes or memes. One might point out that this is actually a memetic difference, and this is true. If you look at the people who are most concerned with spreading memes, they tend to have few to no kids (in fact, given that they actively try to make people have less kids, you could actually say that they have negative fertility). But then, the Jesuits, a celibate order of eunuchs, have done infinitely more to spread the meme of Catholicism than Catholic homesteaders have, even though Catholic homesteaders have 12 kids each.

            you haven't reproduced just because you've had a conversation with someone and told him something and he remembers it.

            For humans, the only true reproduction is passing on your genes and creating new life through sexual intercourse.

            Correct, the memes have. The human didn't, the memes did. This is why homosexuals reproduce, but not individual homosexuals. Percy F. Aggot doesn't reproduce by bumdrilling his nephew, but homosexuality does. See the difference?

            i think you mean that homosexuality reproduces rather than the homosexuals themselves. I guess you are technically correct, although I dont think there's much sense in saying that an activity "reproduces". If it's homosexuality that reproduces, then why did you say that it's the homosexuals who reproduce?

            I think he is actually over-simplifying things to the concept of reproduction. He is looking at diverse phenomena and saying "both reproduce". I don't think for instance that religion, as in the case of a celibate monastic order, is driven to a more intense mimetic form of reproduction because of an absence of biological reproduction, or that these two are somehow in relation along an axis of reproduction.

            Math isn't "real", and I mean that in a very literal sense, it's all shit that exists in your head. There is no physical material reality to the number 2, or the plus sign, or the equals sign, it's all arbritrary

            Mathematics is sophist apologetics describing things that don't exist, just like religion - excepting of course the fact that normal people with common sense can observe the physical world around them and immediately and instinctually realize the truth of the number one and the One God

            There is a physical reality to pairs of things, though.

            I don't agree... maths can describe the area of a real circle that is printed on a piece of paper, for example.

            To understand the meaning of life you first have to understand the context it happens in. And the fastest way to do that is to study NDEs and realize that there actually is an afterlife and that we are eternal and will go to heaven unconditionally when we die.

            Of course, nothing gets normies and NPCs more uncomfortable than the idea that NDEs are ACTUALLY real, and that there are valid reasons to think that they are and that we should take them seriously.

            Here is an extremely persuasive argument for why NDEs are real:

            It makes a huge deal about the fact that NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and that when people go deep into the NDE, they all become convinced. As this article points out:

            https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

            >"Statistics collected show that the "deeper" the NDE the greater the percentage of those who come away certain of the existence of the afterlife. Among those with the deepest experiences 100 percent came away agreeing with the statement, "An afterlife definitely exists"."

            Since NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and they are all convinced, then 100% of the population become convinced that there is an afterlife when they have a sufficiently deep NDE themselves. And so would you, me, or anyone, including the most dogmatic atheists and skeptics, because it is VASTLY more self-evidently real than this brief little experience of life on Earth we have now. When you dream and wake up, you instantly realize that life is more real than your dreams. When you have an NDE, the same thing is happening, but on a higher level, as you immediately realize that life is the deep dream and the NDE world is the undeniably real world by comparison.

            I know you love making this post but I still don't think that near death experiences are evidence of an afterlife.

          Daily reminder that religion for almost all of human existence was and still often is about people thinking giving gifts to gods would make the gods do favors for them, and the Christian thing where god is like your dad and you need to constantly impress him with your behavior is fringe and not in line with normal human nature.

          The nature was that they thought giving presents to a river goddess would heal their infection and they were wrong because they didn’t know any better.

        So read NDE accounts and basically all you can about NDEs. Books, YouTube-videos, articles, everything. They will make you realize that there is an afterlife, that there is meaning to life, and that NDErs say that the primary purpose here is to learn to love everyone and everything, no matter what. That it does not matter so much what kind of things we do, but whether we do them with no strings attached, and summon that kindness, love, and compassion on the inside of our own minds as we do it. So the meaning of life then, according to NDErs, is the small things. Whether it is helping someone with their homework, cooking dinner for our family, cleaning the bathroom, or picking up trash from the ground. Whatever it is, if we do it with love, then that is so huge on the other side, it is amazingly huge. So life is like a game where the goal is to summon as much kindness, love, compassion, and generosity as we possibly can squeeze out of our intentions. Which admittedly is definitely easier said than done!

        You are playing life on a higher difficulty anon. We are here to learn to shine with love and kindness _in a world where it is undeniably hard to do so_! So are you up for the challenge? You can do it anon. Show us you can do it.

        So sure, suicide shoots you directly to heaven and infinite bliss. But at the same time, you were there when choosing to come here. Suicide is therefore like turning off the Silent Hill video game and going out in the sun and playing with your friends. Which is totally fine! But it's not beating and 100%-ing the game, which is to live until death takes you, and being kind and loving all the time along the way.

        So choosing to come here is like choosing to go to Harvard. It is not easy, and you have to be somebody to even get to come here. As NDErs say, everybody on Earth is a star on the other side for having the courage and endurance to come to this nightmare hellhole.

        Now you have the answer OP. But can you face it?

          the answer remains in you, as long as you live. i call it the inner truth. DMT, LSD etc. simply force you in a state where you cannot lie to yourself and so you get confronted with truth. the only truth there is. your truth. it sounds all spritiual and shit, but it is basically just the art of not lying to yourself. religion is that in its very fundaments. religious people are constantly entangled in self-lies. religion is a "spiritual" prison. you suck "gods" wiener and romanticize it. you are your only god. a god who is not almighty. a god who is desperetaly trying to survive in this reality. stop being a hypocrite homie and accept your inner truth. you are everything there is, who matters.

    Usually when people ask these questions they are being dishonest. They are actually wanting to know what the purpose of a HUMAN life is, or more so, what should I do as a human with my life since Christianity and all religion is wrong?

    That's a different question than what is the cause of life in general, or to what end life is striving for. Since for example, the purpose of a bear trap is to catch a bear.

    Based on what I know, life is a coincidence. It has no purpose.

    Human life therefore also has no purpose, but that does not mean you can go around murdering people. The idea humans are inherently evil is a Christian belief, apart of the Christian religious doctrine (original sin), and not an atheistic or a rational belief.

    You murdering someone might be a coincidence, but so is the existence of court systems and revenge. If you coincidentally kill someone, then court systems have every right to do what they evolved to do. Punish. Ideally any rational being would understand the benefit of keeping others alive and working with them, because life is not a zero sum game, the division of labor produces more goods the more people there are around.

    TLDR; There is no rational argument to be made on why you should kill an innocent person from the belief life has no purpose. It only seems that way because you were raised by original sin and not be economics.

    I believe the most basic purpose of life is to reproduce and pass on your genetic material. The second purpose in life is to become the best version of yourself (I have idealized version of myself in my head and I work towards bringing that version of me into reality).

    It's funny how everyone presupposes that the purpose of life is going to be something positive. That should be enough evidence that the question itself arises out of wishful thinking.

      Of course it’s going to be something positive. Your brain is going to punish you if you pick a negative purpose in life unless you’re a genuine psycho

            Because that’s how the human brain is wired. Of course this is a slight generalization because not everyone is neurotypical.

            based. lots of gays want kids and a family. they intuitively understand the value of creating new life and raising your own children. most of them supress this realization and try to ignore it, living a life of total hedonism and then dying peacefully on a hospital bed from super aids.

            putting your claim that you've met thousands of gays and asked them if they want children aside, i think the number of gays who want children is higher than that. Sure, not many gays understand the value of family, children, and creating new life. But can we blame them? It's not in the interest of the gay to admit to himself that creating a family is important. Admitting that having kids is important means that their homosexual lifestyle lacks an important ingredient. It's just easier to buy a few cats and a couple of dogs or adopt another man's kid.

            even the ones who "want children" are usually just as happy adopting children and simply want some company rather than having the drive to reproduce and have their own children that actually have their blood.

            >They don't lack the drive to reproduce,

            yeah they do on average. the fertility of homosexuals is much lower than the fertility of heterosexuals which is evidence of the average homosexual having less of a drive to reproduce than the average heterosexual.

            Most human beings don't consciously think to themselves "I feel the drive to multiply my genes" , rather, whether they reproduce and how much is the outcome of several combined behavioural drives , including the drive to have sexual intercourse with the opposite sex.

            If an individual lacks the behavioural drive to have sexual intercourse with members of the opposite sex then on average that will result in that individual reproducing much less than if he possessed that behavioural drive.

            a minority of homosexuals will want to pass on their genes despite lacking a healthy functioning sex drive for members of the opposite sex, but the vast majority are genetic incels and evolutionary dead-ends

    It's hard to say if we or any life has a true purpose, but I think it's correct to say that conscious life forms are essentially the universe observing itself. Perhaps there's some meaning in that.

    The only purpose that seems inherent to life is to replicate/reproduce itself into different carbon molecules so that that one can keep going, every time increasing the ability to survive under the conditions present through natural selection.

    only that, because if it doesn't it is no longer life. It's the function of it. lifes literal purpose is to make more of itself.

    Why you ask? That is a completely different question.

    >childless, eggless woman who can no longer possibly get pregnant pretends that there is any meaning to her "dating"

    Another female celebrity chooses trying to have the most famous career possible over having kids and ends up going crazy. Sad and common.

    "dating" when you're no longer able to have kids is no different than buying a dog.
    It's meaningless. you're just trying to find a warm body for comfort and company.

    The only genuine meaning of human sexual relationships is to create a family together, that's why young fertile people are the only people genuinely capable of being in love.

    When old people "date" or get married they never really care about the marriage that much, they never really get devastated when they find out their partner has cheated like when they're in their teens, 20s and 30s.
    They know that they're just passing time. That there old-erpson marriage relationship has no meaning for the future like when they're continuing their bloodline by having kids.

    People who chose not to have kids are barely even alive. They're like the undead. They failed to achieve the purpose of life and now they're in limbo.
    Same goes for homosexuals.

    People who choose not to reproduce like old celebrities and homosexuals should be put in a meat grinder and used as fertiliser or have their organs harvested for transplants or medical research tbh. Letting such spiritually sick people live in society is going to be a net negative.
    This doesn't go for people who want to have kids but became infertile due to disease or injury. Their souls are clean and healthy and are just unlucky.

    But the kind of "people" who willingly spend their childbearing years going "woo hoo I don't want to have kids, I can't take the time off my career playing pretend on stage" or "I'm going to rub my genitals against the orifice of someone who's the same sex as me" should probably be put down the way you'd put down a zombie or a rabid animal.

    Life has no purpose.
    HUMAN life, however, has a purpose that can be nearly universally agreed upon: make life better for those you care about before you die, and pursue any goals that interest you in your limited time on Earth. Anyone who disagrees is either a contrarian or misled.

    I see very little difference between purpose of life and the purpose of rocks or air. It's just the result of the causal nature of the universe, and it's purpose is given and taken many times over as it takes shape many times over, likely tantamount to forever in both directions on any human scale.

    A mountain can serve as a landmark just for as long as people care to treat it as such or until it ceases to serve that purpose, but a mountain can be used for a great many things or nothing, all by differing groups or even animals of varied abilities of perception and rational thought.

    I think viruses are a good case study for the purpose of life, as their intention and purpose is so apparently clear to our monkey minds- they must find a host and replicate, perhaps their purpose is to make people feel ill, or maybe that's the side effect of their reproduction? But no, the reality is, this and any purpose is something we ascribe to them, as it's pretty apparent that they are just 'chemical dirt' that when caught just right in the proper machine they just so happen to cause chemical reactions that accidentally through no fault of their own create more of the same dirt... because it can, it does, and if from one you can make two or more, it can be prolific. I think the same purpose of life can be said about mountains or the tides or any natural thing; It just kind of happens because other stuff caused it to happen, and in turn will impact other, and so the cycle continues forever or so.

    I say, enjoy the time you have while you're in the drivers seat... most parts of you atomic or otherwise have sluffed off your body and used by other things many times over during your short life... set sail theseus, sail and be merry! Let the atoms you control for this moment enjoy their short time in the sun... that can be for pleasures of the flesh or the piety of mind... whatever makes you feel good is your purpose, because the purpose of life itself is what you make of it.
