I have often got stumped on the meaning of life... in just that, the meaning. What is life?

I have spent a lot of years trying to pretend I knew what life was and all I did was waste a lot of time. If life exists inclusive to consciousness, I would say, life must then be very diverse. but I have no proof that life is conscious, the scientists do.

scientifically, biology is very mechanical chaos because it is always self-regulating. for biology, there is no existential delema, biology only exists the moment that living thing becomes separated from it. In the science lab, the sterile enviroment and the scientist merge together to be objective, and empiracle, and introspective and disective... The first ideas of how the body worked were peiced together at the morge. there have been many studies on life which I have to say wasted a lot of peoples time, in order to even be published or read to the point where the scientist is relevent to their peers and their words become science.. the experiment can't help but leave the lab. Until, the scientist begins to embody how we look at life, life as they know it won't embody conscious. the introspection of modern man is a process of dead-time not lived experiance.

even if life is just biology... anyone who thinks this way, that man is somehow biological, has not considered or dismisses my opinion that consciousness negates life. We just manifest a very complex and socio-scientifically enveloping suicide machine. but what is common to everything biological, though in varying degrees of complexity, is that nature has limited any existence to parameters beneith consciousness in the subconscious. the survival instinct. Any scientist who I have ever discussed this with understandably became very defensive. So, I doubt such an idea as this will make it into the science journals or win a nobel prize, or in anyway be representative of our societal views...

To be conscious of life is to be unconscious of nature, and to be unconscious of life is to live. but the only evidence of this is the experiment and the nature which has kept us surviving, though in recent times our survival has persued dying of boredom.

So, in my opinion, to be conscious of life is to actively persue your death with many many options. The scientific monopoly on the consciousness of life has always narrowed our persuit, though seemingly beneficial, it is constantly redefined and reapplied to maintain their consciousness. the empiracle structure which has made scientists of every kind control what we know of life.

science gained real momentum after the industrialization of the world it attempted to be the source of life. To narrow the society into survival based roles, into being both unconscious of nature and unconscious of life, but always always searching and advancing on a meaning which, though seemingly universal, (play/educate yourself/work/marry/have kids/make friends/travel/retire) rarely is.

The only time most people got to play was previous to almost the majority of their memories, and to me, this must be seen as the source of consciousness and where science pulls us in... that which pulled us away from play, the very universal meaning to this life we all so actively persue, is the consciousness which would physically suppress the human mind to combat the chaos which regulates life.

This process of social-scientific evolution reduces the chances of a question like you just asked ever getting an answer with something similar to the one I just gave..

Aspergers is a biological development of social detachment. It creates a lot of stress and conflict in the conventional life. In some ways this makes me feel that it might just be a part of the chaotic self-regulation... Though, the problem is created where being conscious of A.S. leaves you very very vulnerable to the scientist.

I have more and more confidence everyday that people with A.S. have the unique urge to play and to ask questions. If we do continue to follow along we will consciously attempt to fit in and that uniqueness will be eliminated.. and isn't to say I believe this is only unique to A.S.. or that a lot of you haven't swallowed handfuls of science by now... I just think the person with A.S. is a target.

I like the notion that the meaning of life is to play.

<plays>

But it's about being played too, and being or not being a player?

The way I see it, the meaning of life depends on the individual--each individual has a different meaning for their life. What is it that you hope to accomplish? What is it that you want to accomplish? What is it that you can accomplish? The biggest, most difficult, and most rewarding life goal you can possibly achieve is the meaning of your life. Not everyone will accomplish their greatest goals, no, but then--whoever said every single life had to have a meaning? ^.~

Either that, or the concept of life having a meaning is just an artificial construct created by a human mind trying desperately to justify his/her existence. I myself am something of a nihilist. I don't believe in fate or anything--I don't think life in general has any serious meaning. Far as I'm concerned, we're here...and we're here because of the way the earth decided to evolve, and because of how our species in particular decided to evolve.

I think we are just an acciednt. Just some mollecules that happened to meet one day and agree that companionship would be nice so they joined together to accidently make an organism that had a brain, capable of movement and thought. An organism that also likes the companionship of other organisms and in turn join our mollecules together. Does it matter if we are good or bad, or try to attain knowledge or not? I don't know because we have to expire at some point.
The question I want answered is why do we want to know the meaning of life when we are powerless and at the end of the day will only carry on doing the things that we are already doing, just to keep our mollecules alive?
If we were created by some other life form, like we may create life on say, Mars by adding changing the atmosphere and heating up the frozen CO2 blah blah we all know the theory, well what is the meaning of THEIR life?
