The purpose of life is to live, to learn, to be more than anyone else, there are no limits, it's about money, about love, about friends, about technology, about the future and the past, everything you do will change the world forever, make this world a better one, do it not for you, but for all the awesome people in it, for all the awesome people that will be born and for everyone else that would do the same for you if they had the chance.

It doesn't matter how much time you live, but how you live

I disagree. The purpose of life is to make more like yourself. Either spread your genes, your memes, or both. Your body is the vehicle by which your genes and ideas propagate themselves.

You will see that what people care about and what brings them fulfillment is consistently related to this. Note that you share the most genes and ideas with close family, then friends, then countrymen, then humanity, then primates, etc. About 99% of your genome is the exact same as a chimpanzees, 80% for a mouse, less for insects, even less for plants and bacteria. I'm not sure how to quantify memome similarity though.

Life has no purpose, which is great so everyone can do whatever the fuck they want.

Ever wonder why sandbox games are getting more and more popular? Wink

Everything you say affects someone. Many Native Americans say your life affects the next seven generations. Just live your life like it is important, but don't take it too seroiusly.

Mine's semantically tautological, and given that the Universe is linguistic, semantic arguments are valid.

Here's my purpose in life:



Salvaging that. You'll be amazed at what the mark up is on that shit. Any board on that barn longer than pi-feet is worth no less than two bitcoins (very close approximation and at today's exchange rate). Do the math! I already did the geography.

So, what your saying is: That barn gives you wood.

I have two woman (who are a couple) who buy from me on a regular basis. Each time they come, one always states that she loves my old wood. I smile inside, and always thank her. One of them is very sexy looking, while the other is...well...not. I was shocked when I recently learn which one is the dominating partner. And to think of all the times Mr. Wood busted a knot thinking the reverse.

That is my interpretation of "will to power". A noteworthy aspect of this is, that it is not a prescription; whatever you do, you are doing this. I don't like the word "meme" though, it has a very weak definition hiding behind a bold analogy.

Hmm, I've never read that. It mostly developed from my reading of "The Selfish Gene".
