Ask me some sort of philosophical question. I can't think of one. I don't understand the appeal or respect for philosophy, it seems like profound schizo bullshit, full of delusion and fantasy, made-up meanings, just trying to paint reality with a thick coat of fiction, narcissism, egotism, self-worship, and bullshit. I say this, when I myself am a schizo.

The meaning of life? Go outside, what does life do? It just tries to survive indefinitely. Just work to survive, reproduce, and die. That's it. You're life in the same sense that any other tree or animal is life. They just work to survive, fuck, and die. Logically life is just fire, literally just fire optimized to consume glucose instead of hydrocarbons. Nearly identical. You can even derive the meaning of life from fire, which is just to burn, to reduce potential energy. That's why life exists, that's why you exist, and that's the only justification for life. If you need a personal purpose, then your purpose is to maximize the reduction of potential energy induced by humans/life within the universe. Unironically, this just means to survive indefinitely, spread as much as possible, as long as possible, ideally until head death prevents humans from living. returning to the same basic strategy of work, fuck, die.

Ironically, AI and robots would qualify as legit life if they were programmed to perpetuate their existence indefinitely in order to maximize the reduction of potential energy in the universe. Meaning, to reduce as much potential energy as possible over the lifespan of the universe. No rapid-burnout shit, it's about indefinite yields which implies the indefinite survival of humans/robots, which can't happen if you waste prerequisite energy and cripple your capacity to do these things. Basically, legitimacy, it's about total amount of reduction produced by the race at the end of the universe, not about any sort of temporal gains, like burning reducing all of the potential energy on earth as fast as possible, which would cripple the ability of humans to expand indefinitely.

Might get distracted though. I'll try to remember to come back or whatever.
