The Meaning of Life. Does life make sense?

Overpopulation is a myth. Research sub replacement fertility and demographic comparisons between older and elderly people versus youth or young adults. The great population die off twenty years into the future will be interesting…

Mature chronically single and miserable people don’t live for sex. Fixed it for you.

Apologies for missing the tantrum, RF has received a second warning and a day ban.

You’re forgiven. O/K
Now please tell me how to put an image in my signature. The inst. don’t seem to work for me.

Life makes sense to me.

It didnt always as much. I had to make it make sense. I had to make sense of it. But it wasnt that hard once I understood that I was the one who was going to have to do it.

That tells me that life is good for making sense of.

So yes, life makes sense, with a little help from the living.

That’s alright, you’re not the only one in the world with a small penis. Take comfort in that, if nothing else. ‘I am not alone in the kingdom of small penises.’ You shouldn’t let personal bias to guide you into pulling the trigger and you shouldn’t use power and authority to make your penis look bigger than it is. Some will like it just the way it is. Some women like cute, little things.

Although you…
… not being one of them.

Well, that certainly escalated quickly…

Mine is in the midrange of penises. Not too small, not too big. I have nothing to be insecure or cocky about.

Creating suffering and death must be stopped as well as creating envy and revenge.

… OR ELSE!!! :angry-fire:

…snicker…

Unfortunately it isn’t reality that dictates insecurity.

Another stupid and pointless ILP thread bites the dust.

Life resists entropy. Otherwise it would not be capable of self-preservation and would decay, thus die. Self-preservation means preservation of the competences during the actual life, whereas reproduction means preservation of the competences beypond the own life. There are three evolution principles: (1) variation, (2) reproduction, (3) reproduction interest. Living beings get recources out of their environment in order to reproduce their competences by the resources of the environment, thus to preserve (conserve) and renew their competences. So they strive to reproduce their competences.

According to this the meaning of life is the avoidance of the loss of the competences.

If you have the impression that you are not needed anymore, then you have the impression of the loss of your competences.

Note: “Competences” means more than"fitness", it is more like “capital”, “power”, “acceptance”, “appreceation”.

Your post doesn’t make any sense…

So would you say that the 13 families, trillionairess…are preserving their competences by being inbred?

I think the word you want is “complexities”. Life tries to to preserve its “complexities” by reproduction, not it’s capital, acceptance, or appreciation.

Yes.

Exactly.

It is based on information.

There are many different information memories (storages), two of them are biological (genetical and neurological) - genes and memes (short-term and long-term)-, all others are cultural (artificial) like all culturally made things, for example books / libraries, pictures, photographs, audiotapes, videotapes, memories of computer, robots, androids.

Yes, but life, being life, is flux. How can it always make sense to someone, depending on the circumstances and what comes to one.
True, we ourselves have to try to make sense of things, give or find meaning to them but there are things which happen that cannot and do not make sense.

I think that there are times when we have to just realize that it can’t always make sense and if we find it does, we’re not really looking objectively - perhaps just rationalizing.

And what happens to a word when it’s repeated over and over again, like a mantra, especially when it is used as a fixed object to describe something dynamic? It may become catchy, but over time, it also loses its original meaning. What airs and status does it acquire as it slowly fades, and what does it end up representing in the end, and to whom?

…or vsvrsa. :sunglasses:
