Well if you look at the probability regard the purpose of life the simulator hypothesis is statistically the most probable. Crazy s~~~ I admit but a significant number of scientists agree that it holds validity.
Just saying what the evidence says.
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape, finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. Marcus Aurelius
How about quantum theory that suggests there is a dimension where all variables exist simultaneously.
That seems confusing.
If women ran the world = It would become the shithole you are seeing.
Short answer:
42. What was the question?
Longer answer:
From a metaphysical perspective, for there to be a purpose requires belief in a higher power/being/program defining a goal or a reward. Otherwise, the only purpose is whatever you decide it to be. I subscribe to the latter view.
From a biological perspective the only purpose is to replicate DNA.
From a social perspective, the purpose of life is to ensure the continued existence of the society/culture that is setting the rules. Individual purposes are irrelevant and individuals are fuel in the furnaces of the ideology that dominates.
MGTOW messes with both the biological and social perspectives.
"...reinvent your life because you must; it is your life and its history and the present belong only to you.” It is Your Life, Charles Bukowski.

Is that the Multiverse theory?
I heard a a little about it but not in depth.
Sub Atomic Physics is fascinating.A few years back I read a short article about the ‘pattern’ matter forms at the quark level and apparently it is ‘grid-like’ in its construction. Observers noted the same pattern in binary.
Wish I could put my hands on that article now.
Interesting stuff but I have an open mind.
I try to be empirical and let evidence guide my options as opposed to vice versa. Confirmation bias can be a bastard.The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape, finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. Marcus Aurelius

Why shouldn’t god have some fun f~~~ing with us after the work he put in . We are f~~~ing up all his s~~~ .

The purpose of life is too figure out that Santa Claus isn’t real.
The purpose of life is to figure out that a globe spinning around isn’t real.
The purpose of life is to figure out that women caring about men isn’t real.
The purpose of life is to figure out that man landing on the moon isn’t real.
The purpose of life is to figure out the illusion.
Man can build a machine today that man could not build generations ago.
Men will build a machines in generations from now that man cannot build today.
Some will say that a simulator could never exist. A higher power could never exist.
If it did, who would tell you the truth?
The people that tell you Santa Claus exists? The people that tell you we live on a spinning ball? The people that tell you to marry? The people that tell you we landed on the moon and rode a dune buggy around? The people that always tell you the truth?

I’ve heard a lot of non-answers, or even non-questions.
Let’s try another one: Why should something exist rather nothing? Nothing is an entropic state, it requires no energy or force to perpetuate itself, so it would seem rational, given that physics lends itself to entropy, that there should be something as opposed to nothing.
So, the purpose of life existing at all is — what?
Reproduction. That is what I was referring to when I mentioned biology. Marriage would provide a socially acceptable form of doing that.
Reproduction for its own sake is not an explanation of the purpose life would serve, it is an explanation of what life does.
This guy is no crack pot. He is the real deal.
There are more and more philosophers etc who accept this argument.
Nick has a few other lectures online that elaborate his hypothesis.Elon Musk has given a Ted Talk about this and said it’s more likely than not we are in a simulation.
I heard about this several years ago and love learning more about it.
Another possibility, but if existence is a simulation, what would be the point of that, and to what end. Additionally, is there any discernible difference between “base reality” and “simulated reality” if they’re functionally the same thing in practice?
Maybe this will help: The purpose of screw driver as designed by an engineer is to drive screws. The purpose of sex organs is to facilitate reproduction.
So, the purpose of life existing at all is — what?
3 purposes.
1) plastic (ask George Carlin)
2) f~~~ you. Reproduction is not the objective of anything.
3) life has no purpose what so ever, there is no higher plane, is just elements tend to look for the most stable form of existance, two atoms here, a particle there, voila ADN, now s~~~ gets real.
All this crap is just a coincidence.
100 inmortal monkeys, in 100 computer, given infinite time, might write the lord of the rings by chance, it could happen.
STOP LOOKING FOR A REASON FOR EVERYTHING, THERE IS NONE.
First of all, f~~~ you too, but ok. “Stop looking for a reason for everything, there is none.” This is a philosophical cop out. Randomness is a good argument, but the aggregation of form and pattern suggest at the very least there is a meaning to the randomness that combines to create you as an entity.
Would you say that your existence has no meaning or value to you? I think that the existence of some meaning somewhere is a good argument against the nihilist perspective.
I don’t really have any conclusions, I’m exploring the space.
What is certain is a couple of facts:
1) Something is. (AKA the universe/reality)
2) This something follows certain laws. (physics)
3) Out these laws life manifested for whatever reason, we’ll leave that a blank.
4) Out of life manifested conscious beings.Perhaps it’s an engine for creating conscious life.

It’s a cosmic soup that randomly burps out interesting stuff.
or
I dunno you tell me.
As for the God explanation, is it because God is vain and wanted children or that somehow God needs existence to perpetuate it’s own existence or…?

Life is the purpose of life.
Enjoying the simple things. Gumbo soup, walking under my arbor tunnel of vines, farting in my cat’s face and making his whiskers blow back. Simple pleasures.
All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

Well you could take the tact that purpose implies intent, and that with no God creator, purpose is created by that which lives and possesses intent. Since we are all different, we all have to define what that purpose is.
There is some evidence that since the universe is driven to entropy, life and other things self-organize because once life is created, it speeds up entropy by expending energy. You could say that the universe is self-organizing to understand itself and then achieve faster entropy (Nirvana?)

To worship God and to love. That’s the answer your looking for. If you don’t believe in God then you’ll never find the answer. You can make it whatever you want if you don’t like my answer, but that is the correct answer to your question, uh oh I got a go, I got doxxed and there’s a angry mob of atheists standing outside my door.
Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.
I feel like there is no real purpose, you have to give your own life meaning and the reality is it may only have meaning to you, but if you impact others in your life positively then perhaps that has meaning to them.
But in the grand scheme of things it seems there is no purpose to life.
Why does having a life automatically dictate it has to have a purpose. I don’t think lack of an answer is as problematic as asking a question that has no answer and expecting there to be one.
If you rescue a damsel in distress, all you will get is a distressed damsel.
