I can agree with that. To survive is to exist in one form or other. But even if we were to not survive as humans, we could not stop existing. Energy can neither be created or destroyed, only change form.

For the human race to survive, we must pro-create, so if you agree that survival is the meaning to the life of the human race, then what you are saying in reality, is that SEX is the One Supreme Meaning to Life and on that point I am in total agreement. But if you are referring to the Life which pervades the entire Cosmos, I go back to my original statement that life itself, which was, is, and always will be, is the One Supreme Meaning to life.

What is the meaning of no life?

(appologies for the exausting use of 'i know u are but what am i' genre of response there lol)

I think theres meaning to a life, and thus countless individual meanings for the different people, but meaning to life in general? attributing meaning assumes and requires consciousness of human level, forcing us to define other creatures through us, which surely cant be fair on them

can a life incapable of understanding the meaning of having meaning really be so meaningful?

One must bow to the wisdom of Ben for the given infinite perspective. May it be offered from a finite perspective that the supreme meaning is to realize within one's self what Ben posted. The reasoning supporting this is to be in accord with Ben. Now, permit the question to be put to Ben to ask for reasoning supporting his offering of supreme meaning. Ben, your answer would be of great interest.

There can only be one Supreme pizza on any menu. Just what toppings one prefers is open to interpretation.
