Of all the Great Sophomoric Questions, "what is the meaning of life" is the most sophomoric of all. The paradigm case of the sophomoric question. An observation, not a criticism! The author is a professor of philosophy, it is in fact his professional duty to engage with and teach the Great Sophomoric Questions. And nearly all of us were sophomores, once or twice. Some of us, presumably, are sophomores right this instant. Fortunately for all of us, after millennia of searching enquiry, this question, finally, has a definitive answer: the Meaning of Life is a 1983 musical sketch comedy, by the inimitable British troupe of Oxbridge philosophers, Monty Python. While better known for their invention of the most popular programming language in data science, we owe the Pythons a great debt for at last settling this question, once and for all.
