Life may be meaningless and darwinian after all

100% Normal
21 Comments

Why do I think so? Perhaps the world is solely a Darwinian pursuit. Adapt or perish. That's it. I continually agree with this statement. Life is an experience, a creative one. Human imagination rehashes centuries old meaning again and again. Is this too reductionist? Alas, it does not matter for epistemologically we cannot really know much external to human perception.

In the meantime, I shall make myself a Mai Tai, kick back, and enjoy a bit of natural ambiance. Sweet.

Is this at all normal to think? Or am I crazy?

Is It Normal?

    To exist in the space you occupy within the universe.
    Actually you are privileged to be born, there were about half a billion sperm cells that did not make it at all. So be humble and enjoy.

    The meaning of life is to discover ones own meaning.

    Wha? Wha? Life has meaning. You're too pessimistic to see it. Open yourself to optimism and you may find the meaning of life, or what it means to you.

    Darwinism isn't meaningless; it's divine.

      I can explain that.
      First humans did not evolve from monkeys. They evolved from a type of ape. Apes are different from monkeys and do not have tails.
      There are many types of apes and the ones humans evolved from, no longer are around. Also not every organism will evolve at the same rate because evolution is a slow process of trial and error.
      There were many stages between us and the apes we came from. Some even branched out into other human like species, which have since died out.

        well humans have been around for a while, why haven't we seen evolution take place?

          We have seen evolution take place, countless times on a microbial scale.
