What is YOUR point of living?

The way I see it is like this...

Life came to play due to some millions-of-years-old comets bombarding the early Earth and planting the "seeds of life" -- some complex hydrocarbon molecules. Fast forward a few billion years, and presto! Here we are.

So what the hell is the point to any of this? Well, obviously, there is no objective point. But there is a subjective point. What is yours? How do you stay motivated to live this life?

That's a good question. I suppose my motivation is just to see this thing through to the end. I think it's a kind of curiosity, maybe. I don't know. I am alive, therefore, I'll persist until I am dead. Yeah, that's it.

I know for sure that one of your special motivations in life are to break the contest in who says the word "I" the most times in his life :D

Well, though I should know you by now I have to admit I skipped your posts therefore I just can state the obvious. Was that too badly formulated ?

My literal 'motivation' is my beating heart and my body, but if you mean what purpose do I ascribe to my own life, that is an open question, even at this late date...

To put my print on history and the future of mankind instead of just being a bystander living a meaningless life. That is also why I want to be a physicist.
And then there's the curiosity for the future. I wish I could live forever and just observe the technological and social evolution of Man.

Why not ask Marvin, the Depressed Robot?

Unfortunately he will only pass the question on to Deep Thought.

And we all know what he will say!

Mate, mate, they are related - they are both robots.

Do you seriously believe they don't communicate?

All robots operate on a back channel.

What one robot knows, they all know.

I've seen Hal, Marvin and Deep Thought all sitting quietly together, apparently saying nothing. But when I opened up the back channel, it looked like they were gossiping about the whole world.

No, your conversation and mine is like a pebble on a beach, while the conversations held by Hal, Marvin and Deep Thought are like galaxies colliding.

Love is the only thing worth living for.
Getting it and giving it. :hug:
