So, some 14 year old knuckle-dragger made a jokey post that went nowhere on the topic, so I thought I'd give my take on it.
I think the 'meaning of life' is a misnomer, and it should be rearranged to be someone's 'life purpose'.
You can ask why we're here, but that's already been established...
tl;dr Life exists because of physics, cosmology and biology all coalesced to explain the earth, the mechanics of life, and why life is in its current state. Big-bang cosmology - > accretion disks, abiogenesis, evolution, us.
With that out of the way, I think there are three major 'branches', or possibly more if you can think of any, of perspectives you can have about your life purpose.
1. Do the human thing - Be a human, have lots of experiences, ****, make babies, love, heartbreak, elation, etc. Be a person and drink up life.
2. "Attain immortality" - This is basically 'be the best I can be'. Certain people will go down in history and always be remembered either in fame or infamy. Hitler, Salk, Ghandi, Ceasar, Khan, Bill Gates, etc. These people have made their mark on humanity and will be remembered decades, centuries, even millinea after their deaths having achieved a faux immortality. Another way is to have lots of children of good stock (strong biological partner) to throw your DNA into the future indefinitely and hopefully your bloodline will extend and branch, giving you immortality that way.
3. My life is MY LIFE ****ERS - Follow your dreams, follow your nose, follow whatever you want to follow. I'll tell you a story;
A while back, I had a bit of a crisis. Lots of games, little progress in my life professionally and other aspects. I sat and talked with my brilliant friend and said, 'wah wah my life sucks all I do is play games and touch myself at night and have fun' to which he brilliantly replied, 'If that's what you want to do, what's wrong with that?'
Seemed like a simplistic response at the time, but it really got me thinking and I realized that hey, it's my life and I can do whatever I want with it. Maybe my PURPOSE in life is to sit around and play ****loads of games and touch myself at night, and if I can truly be OK with that, then who the **** do I have to answer to?
Basically, whatever you calling is or whatever makes your happy is your 'life purpose', or the meaning of your life.
Long story short, I think the meaning of YOUR life is whatever you want it to be. For me? I'm going with #1.

COMING SWEETIES
oh hey i didn't know you and cuddowls were best friends throat XD
u 2 make a great couple ;)
Can we have a threesome then? Because I think throat was pretty spot on :P
but really age doesn't necessarily have a direct correlation with intelligence once the brain has matured enough to use logic. I am far more intelligent than people older than me...but i have also been reduced by people younger than me....age does give you a general range of intelligence...though the term 'intelligence' can be interpreted in different ways and sometimes experience can provide a type of intelligence that book smarts simply can not match.
For now, we can just posit that life exists solely because physics and biology are in a state that allowed it to happen on this particular planet. It exists because it happened, abiogenesis, the slow gradual process where amino acids and primitive cells formed in the primordial ocean.

Oh? Have you had a good conversation with a 'smart' and '*intelligible' 1-year old recently?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
"what is the actual meaning of life in the universe? Why does it exist?"
I already explained. There is no actual meaning of life in the universe until it's demonstrated otherwise. For now, we can just posit that life exists solely because physics and biology are in a state that allowed it to happen on this particular planet. It exists because it happened, abiogenesis, the slow gradual process where amino acids and primitive cells formed in the primordial ocean.
EDIT: On a side note, age has very little to do with being "smart" or "telligible".
I think the specimin we see here is quite the kind of person League, as a very easy game attrats, and we might have to live with it, but I myself cannot reach to tolerate it. I like you guys, but I'd love a forum which isn't about prsonal problems or boasting. You can assuradely do such things in the off topics forum.
Thank you kindly.
