Living = Surviving
So, when people ask the question, “what is the meaning of life?” isn’t the question negated within itself?
Because living = surviving, we can restate the question, “what is the meaning of surviving?”. In this case, the answer is apparent. Survival is the meaning of surviving.
Therefore, we live to survive–we survive to live.
Feel free to add refutations or further connotations!
Well said.
False consciousness derives from the idealization of cause and effect.
If we idealize survival, what then takes suit after it real?

The meaning of survival is to simply live.
There is nothing else beyond the simple essence of being alive except for useless conjecture or idealizations of living that comes after it by our own making no less.

Excuse me, but you appear to be approaching the question from an extremely ego-centric point of view. The question, what is the meaning of life, is not what is the meaning of MY life, but the meaning of LIFE. The answer to the question of it. Survival is a personal function/desire, not a larger purpose, yes?
Also, yes, 42.

Life doesn’t exist anywhere else than what is in front inside of me.

Right now? Yesterday? Tomorrow? Eight centuries ago? All above? None?

All exist through me whether it was yesterday or my first day of birth.

Hmm, but nonetheless you currently inhabit a limited ego. Does that still apply given your imprisonment in a limited viewpoint?
