<seldon> hi
<seldon> what is the meaning of life?
<e0de> whose life.
<expers> there is no meaning
<e0de> do what you want.
<e0de> be happy.
<e0de> that's the meaning.
<seldon> does life have a meaning?
* e0de uses the term happy loosely.
<seldon> if not, why not
<seldon> if yes, what is it?
<e0de> seldon: god didn't stamp our brains when born with a
specific meaning, we have the free will to create/realize
whatever meaning we want
*** phaf has joined #philosophy
<seldon> e0de: who says there is a god?
<e0de> there is no point in asking for some objective
meaning, because if you have to ask, then obviously it's not very
important to you.
<seldon> and if there is, what is god?

<seldon> thats nonsense...if i ask for somehting..its
because it interests me
*** soniqboy sets mode: +l 71
<e0de> what i mean is.
*** Pogen has left #Philosophy
<e0de> if you have to ask for some objective meaning, then
whatever the objective meaning is, it must not interest you very
much (as a real meaning to life would, naturally), or else you
wouldnt have to ask what it is.
<phaf> What is more absurd, on a scale of logic: Belief in
God, or belief in reincarnation?
<expers> people in this channel ask retarded questions
<expers> that is my belief

<e0de> phaf : depends on the person's outlook re the
structure of nature, and on what one means by god.
<phaf> Haxor d00d.
<seldon> what is an objective meaning?
<seldon> i was not asking for any objective meaning
whatsoever
<seldon> i was just curious as to how you in here think of
that question
<e0de> seldon : when someone asks 'what is THE meaning of
life', i see it as wanting some kind of objetive meaning, as if
one could exist, meaning, a de facto meaning, as opposed to a
subjective or personally defined meaning.

<seldon> ok..then perhaps i was wrong and i should have
asked..would there be a meaning behind life?
<seldon> and if yes, what do you think it would be?
<seldon> anf id no, why do you think so?
* e0de thinks about the phrase 'behind life'
<expers> sex
* e0de finds it entrapping
<seldon> im not trying to trap you :)
<expers> rape

<blop> seldon: I heard life was absurd and had no meaning
<Sill|Away> Saturating your primal goals, Power, Respect,
Sex, Survival etc.? Though I'm not sure that would be the most
accurate set, since some of them aren't mutually exclusive
<blop> seldon: and we have to live with it anyway
<expers> rofl
<seldon> hehe
<e0de> i suppose there is a meaning 'behind life' in that 1
it is common to all humans, and 2 it is a meaning that we
recognize but not on an earthly conscious level, and that meaning
would have something to do with love and 'learning', in an
immortal spirit kinda sense.
<expers> THE MEANIng of my life is to lick many vaginas
<expers> young pussy
<expers> only.
<Sill|Away> That's cute e0de :P
<e0de> but spirituality aside, i don't think there's a
meaning 'behind life', we just find ourselves here and if we're
lucky we have a passion and we persue it, and that is our meaning.

<expers> meaning is a lead weight
<expers> catches many fish its so deep
<e0de> thanks sill
<expers> dumb fish
<expers> they smell like vaginas
<seldon> e0de..i think thats indeed a nice way to put it
<expers> i am the only true nihilist in here because i was
raised into it while my mind was plastic enough to take it into
itself you are all just belivers in logical explanations but can
never BE anything other than what you are dumb animals
fornicating and fucking eating shit ting etc
* e0de has felt brief moments of pure love or joy/communion with
nature that could be his meaning of life

to each level of existence would there not be a meaning
Lux Lucis says:
perhaps the meaning of all that is , is Gods meaning
Lux Lucis says:
and not our place

bbl
eode says:
hmm
eode says:
varyous levels of existence each with a common meaning specific
to that level
eode says:
that's an interesting paradigm
