not really a meaning of life per say, but an outlook/perspective. we all have a ridiculous amount of potential and ability, whatever the circumstances, just by virtue of the fact that we're conscious. idk if that makes any sense and/or sounds ridiculous, but it makes sense to me haha
lol have you ever heard of existentialism?

If you look at the patterns of life, living, creating things, procreating, advancing in technology etc You would think that cycle never breaks for a reason. Maybe humans/animals genetics also play a big part in our existence.
Earlier you said you're an atheist...so would I right in saying that you consider a 'higher intelligence' to be aliens?
Yes. Maybe aliens, maybe something else our minds can't comprehend. But then the cycle of, if they created us who created them starts.

Do you believe in Darwin's Evolution Wub, what are you thought's?
Why do you think we aren't capable of understanding the origin of life? Is it too complicated to understood? How do you know how complicated it is?

Maybe the answer is a lot simpler than you think.

Because the benefit might have been mutual.

Dogs have evolved alongside humans to instinctively read us differently from other animals (for instance, they'll focus on the left sides of our faces because they show emotion quicker and more reliably)... in return for providing us with companionship, protection and the odd bit of hard work they're given free food, shelter and trips to the vet.

That's an extreme example, but there are a million symbiotic relationships in nature... bees and flowering plants adapting to each other... hell, you're currently hosting a shit ton of bacteria, mites and other tiny little beasties who are perfectly adapted to keep your body clean and healthy in return for a bit of food and a safe environment.

m8son read Kropotkin“s mutual aid, one of the best books ever written

I asked the Panchen Lama if it would matter whether the world was destroyed.
He said " Yes, because then people wouldn't have the chance to be happy."
I thought that was pretty good.

not at all
an abortion can avoid misery

anyway I didn't say I agreed with him
I just thought it was a good response
that would comfort people who ask him such a question

he probably thinks, like me, that there is no absolute meaning
when everything is ultimately nothing

but our minds need the comfort of a meaning
even if it's no meaning
so, one of the more interesting aspects of life
is coming up with a workable, resilient meaning,
one that accords with what I'm doing and what I enjoy

in that sense,
creating a meaning for oneself IS the meaning of life
