You said we don't know much about the Universe, and if we don't know much about the Universe wouldn't that also indicate that you have no idea whether life is pointless or not?

:yeshrug: does it really matter what i think? Im just making conversation....also this thread has a general theme, not everyone will catch on.

If life is pointless, then it makes no difference what happens to anything that lives.

No human being believes this, however, unless they are psychopaths.​
If people can not come to a conclusion of a definitive point of what we perceive as life, they may come to the conclusion themselves that it has none.

Would you say anyone coming to that conclusion is what you would call a psychopath?

I'm an Idealist, so the most I could say about those who come to the conclusion you posed is that they are completely rational given the circumstances.​

Would you enjoy it any less? People talk like earth is center of the universe, created specifically for humans like none of the other infinite amount of planets could have "perfect" conditions for life. Not only is that unlikely but lets discuss the conditions; Fact is the Earth is extremely hostile to human life. (stole that quote from the other thread) 71% of this planet is ocean... that means only 29% of the surface is land and that number gets knocked down to 7% to 11% if we're talking about land that is safe for humans to inhabit. 11% at best and shrinking!!...feeling small yet? Good.

We're just visitors here and seemingly the only "advanced" species on this planet that has to pay to live somewhat comfortably here :dry: So with that said...enjoy your life, for every heaven there is 1,000 other hells you have a chance to go to. Everything you know and love have came from this insignificant piece of land mass on this pale blue dot floating in a sea of infinity... Your problems will be soon forgotten. Just let it go.

Could you imagine a 1200 page book explaining complexity of a infinite universe. It doesn't even come close.

You can always find purpose in a pointless life unless you're a depressed lose r

St louis
the girl you been wanting for ages
call you up for a roll in the hay and you
knock fire from the crack of her ass,
finding 200$ in ones in some levi's
you aint worn since your homies bachelor
party,the smile on your mama's face knowing
she owns a crib you got for her,
a chick bringing you a plate on her way
to work just because etc.
life is such a beautiful experience man.
:mjcry:

Well, you did say anyone coming to the conclusion of life having absolutely no purpose was "psychopathic" and that no one truly believes in such a conclusion unless they fit that description.

Are you saying now it's rational to be "psychopathic" given the circumstance that none of us have a definitive answer and some may believe their is actually no purpose?

What if it isn't pointless? Our (humans) size or lack thereof, in the grand scheme of things doesn't necessarily make our lives irrelevant.
