The Meaning of Life

What is the meaning and purpose of life?

• Answer 1: It’s personal. You have to find your own meaning. You have to find it for yourself, so the important part is not the answer, it’s the question. You just have to sit there and dig with the question. It might take you years or decades.
• Answer 2: There is no meaning to life. “It’s like writing on water or building houses of sand.” The reality is you’ve been dead for the history of the Universe, 10 billion years or more. You will be dead for the next 70 billion years or so, until the heat death of the Universe. Anything you do will fade. It will disappear. There’s no meaning. You have to create your own meaning.
• Answer 3: In physics, the arrow of time comes from entropy, which means disorder in the Universe only goes up, which means concentrated free energy only goes down. Humans are locally reversing entropy. Because we have action. In the process, we globally accelerate entropy until the heat death of the Universe. In that death, there’s no concentrated energy, and everything is at the same energy level. Therefore, we’re all one thing, essentially indistinguishable.
