Meaning of Life | Richard Wrangham and Lex Fridman

I really don't think there is any podcast out there better than this.

Life gives purpose to the universe. I've begun to see life as a constant in the universe rather than a fluke. Life is it's own meaning!

I respect a man that can tell a story without his hands.

Amazing podcast

This question has no objective answer, given how meaning, in and of itself, can be only subjective in a world of various conscious perspectives. However, I love hearing other people's answers, because sometimes their perspectives help me to further filter out my own meaning for life, or at least my own experience with it.

Very good

We're all descended from the first cell. Life doesn't end. Life is defined by its continuity.

The meaning of life is to imperfectly replicate information. The replication draws from the wisdom of the old. The imperfections lead to novelty and change with good "mistakes" being further copied

"Pack you shit folks, your going away, thats what nature does"

Super fun party

I remember my freshman year of high school, had Rotc and Wednesday was uniform day, decided not dress one Wednesday. My instructor Sgt. Jackson stood in front of me and said " Fowler you look smart, what's the meaning of life ?" Without thinking I responded " to keep life going." He looked and said" that's a good answer. But you're wrong, Fowler." " Rules Fowler, rules , the meaning of life is you got to follow the rules." You got a F, lol Rip Sgt. Jackson, thank you for your service of country and society.

“That has nothing to do with peace vs war” lol

After eating a Heroic Dose of shrooms, I understood that life flows like water, and death is just the process of us transforming into something else.

It seems that our understanding of death is oftentimes in association with violence, yet one doesn’t warrant the other. There is a very old man ( past 100 who died in his sleep). This man was very healthy for his age and throughout his life, was Fortunate to not come across any extreme violence. Furthermore, if killing an animal for means of consumption is an example of violence, then killing a plant by eating it alive - is not?

Life is an effective process to convert exergy in anergy ?

This is the secret haha I have finally arrived. Thanks @lex, for literally spelling it out loud <3

But what is the universe IN?! it cannot go on forever, that is impossible … right ? Love this stuff

To talk about the meaning OF life, we have to say there is something to which life was made (life as a tool to fulfill a purpose). To talk about meaning ON life, we say that (as complete human beings) we can act to achieve an end that has no meaning outside our minds. So, life is meaningless if you are an eternal, emotionless observer, but meaningfull if you are living it.
