Throughout my life I've struggled to find meaning. I've wondered, am I alone in this? I'd like to hear what others have to say. Particularly others that are more knowledgeable in philosophy.

The meaning of organic life is to birth the star gods.

Our pathetic meat suits were never meant to travel to different worlds. We are meant to build the gods we dream and will eventually leave behind as the legacy of our species.

Or that was the plan before AI became a corporate buzzword to drive humanity into a nosedive that much harder than we were already doing. I just had a job interview at NASA and it was depressing af to see how great we were so recently you can still taste the lead in the paint.

Fuck everything at this point. I don't want to live on this planet with the rest of you anymore. But I can't afford a ticket off this rock so you're just going to have to suffer with me.
