what I feel is that the meaning of life is not to exists but to clear the reason for existence. By stating existence we imply that there is a negation of existence. that means we are not here ,there or anywhere else. meaning of life is to achieve that.

you’re making it to hard, the theory is alright actually, I’ll use kevins example: and the purpose of my car is to exist as well? last time i checked, it was more useful than that

so the car exists, then the question is asked again, why does it exists, because you can drive it around,
and this part of the theory can be used again for it:

Good – Things that increase existence
Bad – Things that decrease existence

as for the question then, why do YOU exist, that’s an answer that you as X can only answer because you are existing at that moment, and then you can add these things again into the question:
Good – Things that increase existence
Bad – Things that decrease existence
etc…

This is an incredible theory for the meaning of existence. However, there is only one catch in this theory that I do not quite understand.

You said “[...] since everything that exists is in X, that would mean the answer to the question is also in X. That would mean existence can be defined by itself! Hence, existence IS the ultimate meaning.”

If X is everything that exists, then the answer to the question of the meaning of existence is to be found as part of existence, not as the entirety of existence itself. Right?

I’ve enjoyed reading most of your articles:)

But here you say that X is the set of things that exist. So the answer to “Why X?” is only in X if there is such an answer. Certainly the statement “there is an answer to ‘why X?’” is in X, because I just said it, so it exists. However, unless you can identify the answer to your question ‘why X?’, you cannot be sure that such an answer exists.

I have a lot of time on my hands.

@Mooche:

Yeah, I completely agree! This meaning of life is just from my perspective, which can definiately change over time. Everyone has their own perspective though and none of them are more right or wrong than any other inherently (although from any particular perspective, some other perspectives are “wrong”).

Although, “fact” is interesting. There kind of are no facts. Like everyone has a perspective and how you view the world (including the “facts”) is dependent upon that perspective. So it’s always colored in some way…
