I see little point in trying to ascertain the "meaning" of life. From what I see, life itself gives birth to the concept of meaning not the other way around.
But I guess it would be hard to get speaking engagements saying "you are born, then you die, and what you do in between is a waste of time"....
Even if this were the case in reality. (Which I'm not saying it is).

- jqm 13y agoI read the transcript. I don't think you understand what I am saying. We don't come to the same conclusions. I'm saying the concept of "meaning".... not the "meaning of life" is something derived from the property of life itself. Therefore using this concept to ask a question in a larger context probably isn't valid.
- benjoffe 13y agoFrom the article: > Nothing has inherent meaning. Everything is only what it is and that's it. I think you come to the same conclusion but perhaps express it a little deeper than the author does.

- jqm 13y agosee the above. I read the transcript. You didn't read the post and responses carefully did you?
