But simultaneously reality having no meaning doesn't necessarily induce chaotic behavior or anarchy.

Most prefer a more calm relaxed non violent or chaotic atmosphere/environment 🤔

Would love to hear what you guys have to add.

My vote?  The meaning of life is:  "Nurturing oneself and others."

@LastThursday @oOo Nothing is closer or further away from truth because there isn't anything separate from everything.

There can be misunderstandings within everything, which seem to create a "true vs false comparison"

There isn't a right or wrong path to walk because there isn't real meaning or purpose.

And without meaning there can't be right vs wrong.

In other words, reality is complete anarchy. That's why religion was created, to control the population.


I am not getting lost in word play that represents my view inaccurately. 

I am not referring to the absolute alone, I am also including the relative reality that is a part of that.

Saying you cannot misrepresent my view because everything is absolute is utterly childish for the same reason that saying it doesn't matter if your mother chose to feed you coca cola instead of organically breastfeeding.

Purpose for human existence. 

From a relative human perspective, stated as simply, non-abstractly as possible, and over-generalising to the point of annoyance, here is my purpose for human existence relative to our present time in history and therefore the cultural cyst that we call modern life.

The purpose of existence for the modern digital zombie:
1. Looks maxxing.
2. Bitches/alphas
3. Social media influencing

The purpose of existence for the modern human-hybrid:
1. Self-created happiness.
2. Self-created intelligence
3. Self-created creativity.

For this triad to be entirely dependent only on itself, without external dependence.

This implies:
- consciousness understanding, regulation and creation become the three fundamental masteries of the modern human-hybrid existence.

This enriches all social ties rather than taking away from them, as it radically alters the baseline meaning by which social connections develop meaningfully.

Now people are coming together from a position of already being fulfilled, or at least working on self-created personal fulfilment, and are only looking to come together to create something cool, mutually beneficial, long-lasting etc. 

Many would characterise those three as unrealistic. But its possible. It's just about spreading the right knowledge, tools, practices, etc and creating the environments that self-reinforce those things. I genuinely believe everything exists already at present where its achievable by a really meaningful degree, and we're closing the gaps in every other area pretty quickly across certain demographics.

Your anarchy is my absurdity, I'm in agreement with you. Out of that anarchy something does crystallise however and that is meaningful. You yourself couldn't be less anarchic in your posts there is a deep meaning there.

It's spirituality 101 in most non-scrupulous 'textbooks'.

I feel you feel threatened by meaning.

Let's say there is a God and he came here today to tell the meaning of life to the both ( @LastThursday ) of you, would you be able to accept it? 

Would you blindly believe him?

Because at the end of the day, perhaps he's lying. And doing so without bad intentions. 

For me, you have to take both or more possibilities into consideration, that's just how my mind works. 

The absence of blind belief, while also being able to believe fully, that's a tricky thing to master but it gives you more not less freedom and you become less not more dogmatic and cynical.

But I'll let you have your stance as I said. I'm allowed to notice potential incongruences but for the sake of an honest discussion.
