    Look at the other two threads this member started last night, barts. Any response will be just more garbled nonsense.

    Perhaps, but there's no need to let the thread go to waste.

    Here's what I think: The meaning of life is to seek the meaning of life, adding or subtracting more as time permits.

    ahhhh...yes, great point.

    I too know the meaning of life.

    Whoever has the most money when they die, wins. So far I'm pretty far behind the rest.

    I would assume that if someone knew the meaning of life, they would either keep it to themselves or share it with others who can either agree or disagree with the assertion.

    I'm at a loss to see any merit in a guessing game in this matters, as is the OP.

    I have my doubts that someone who claims they know the meaning of life, and then asks others to guess it, does, in fact, have any insights at all about the meaning of life.

    I say that because there are many very respectable and wise people--Albert Schweitzer, for example--who have an opinion about the meaning of life and willingly share their views. Indeed, most people who have given careful and thoughtful consideration to these matters willingly share their views with others.

    If we look at the major religions, they do not engage in guessing games. The same can be said for most philosophers.

    As I say, I have my doubts about the credibility of "meaning of life" assertions hiding within a guessing game.

    Easy question to answer. Intrinsically, for our species, procreation. Individually, what ever you make of it. Don't waste it... as far as we know, we have only 1 life to live. Not unless you're schizophrenic.
